ORDER TO FILE SUPPLEMENTAL
JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT
STATEMENT
v.
LINKEDIN CORPORATION,
Defendant.

18
On February 4, 2015, the parties filed a joint case management statement indicating that
19
they had “accepted a mediator’s proposal for a class action settlement subject to reaching
20
agreement on remaining material terms and execution of a written settlement agreement.” ECF
21
No. 74 at 2. The parties indicated further that they “will notify the Court of their progress on
22
February 25, 2015 and, if they have reached agreement on all material terms by that date, will file
23
a motion for preliminary approval on or before March 24, 2015.” Id. The parties could not reach
24
an agreement by February 25, 2015, asking the Court instead to continue “the date for submission
25
of the motion for preliminary approval of the settlement.” ECF No. 76 at 2. To accommodate the
26
parties’ request, the Court continued the March 4, 2015 case management conference to April 1,
27
2015. ECF No. 77.

On March 25, 2015, the parties informed the Court that “they have now reached an
2
agreement in principle and are preparing a motion for preliminary approval.” ECF No. 78 at 2.
3
The parties requested a deadline of May 20, 2015, for Plaintiffs to file a motion for preliminary
4
approval, id., which the Court approved, ECF No. 79. A hearing on Plaintiffs’ anticipated motion
5
for preliminary approval was set for August 27, 2015. ECF No. 79. Based on the parties’
6
representation that a settlement had been reached, the Court also vacated the class certification
7
briefing schedule and July 23, 2015 hearing date on class certification. Id.

On May 19, 2015, the parties asked for a one-week extension for Plaintiffs to file their
motion for preliminary approval. ECF No. 85. Reluctantly, the Court continued the deadline to
May 27, 2015. ECF No. 86. The August 27, 2015 hearing date for preliminary approval remained

United States District Court
Northern District of California
10
as set. Id. Then, on May 27, 2015, the parties asked for yet another extension, asking the Court
12
this time to continue the deadline for Plaintiffs to file their motion for preliminary approval to
13
June 17, 2015—i.e., three additional weeks. ECF No. 87. The Court gave the parties until June 5,
14
2015, for Plaintiffs to file their motion. ECF No. 88.
15
Lastly, on June 5, 2015, the parties asked to extend the deadline for filing Plaintiffs’
16
motion for preliminary approval to June 10, 2015, citing the need to hold an in-person meeting on
17
June 9, 2015, to resolve any outstanding issues. ECF No. 89. In sum, after several months of
18
negotiations and despite the Court having granted multiple extension requests, Plaintiffs still have
19
not filed their motion for preliminary approval.
20
As a result, the Court hereby ORDERS the parties to file a supplemental joint case
21
management statement by June 9, 2015, at 5:00 p.m. That statement should contain a briefing
22
schedule on class certification, as well as a proposed case schedule through trial. The Court
23
hereby sets a hearing on class certification for August 27, 2015, at 1:30 p.m., with Plaintiffs’ reply
24
brief due no later than August 13, 2015. The fact discovery cutoff of November 20, 2015, remains
25
as set. See ECF No. 59.
26
IT IS SO ORDERED.
