WHEREAS, on November 21, 2011, the Parties filed a stipulation seeking a

2

continuation of discovery deadlines. (Dkt. 173.) The basis for the stipulation was that the

3

Parties were not certain as to what expert discovery may be needed or relevant following this

4

Court’s ruling on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification. The stipulation sought, in the

5

interest of judicial economy and so that the Parties could focus discovery on relevant matters

6

only, a 45-day extension of discovery and related deadlines, pending the Court’s

7

consideration of the motion for class certification;

WHEREAS, the Parties remain uncertain as to what expert discovery may be needed
or relevant following this Court’s ruling on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification;
