[Re: ECF 119]
Defendant.
United States District Court
Northern District of California

The parties have submitted a joint scheduling submission with disputed dates for
14
Defendant’s proposed International Class Motion, Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification, and
15
Discovery and Summary Judgment. ECF 119.
16
With regard to the first two disputes, the Court’s heavily impacted schedule can
17
accommodate neither a hearing in August 2016 as requested by Defendant for the International
18
Class Motion nor a continued date for the Motion for Class Certification as requested by Plaintiff.
19
Therefore, the Court does not set dates for the International Class Motion. Defendant may file
20
such a motion and have it heard on the Court’s next available date. In addition, the Court finds that
21
a joint scheduling submission is not the proper vehicle for Defendant’s request regarding the
22
preclusive effect of arguments brought in its International Class Motion on arguments available
23
for its Opposition to Class Certification. As a result, the Court does not address this improper
24
request.
25
26
As for the Motion for Class Certification, the Court maintains the hearing date set in the
Case Management Order, see ECF 115, and therefore adopts Defendant’s proposed dates.
27
Finally, the Court finds the later dates proposed by Plaintiff for discovery and summary
28
judgment to be reasonable. However, the Court does not hear summary judgment and Daubert
1
motions on the same day, and therefore sets the parties’ Daubert hearings for February 9, 2018. If
2
the parties wish to set the dates for the Daubert briefing by Court order, they may submit a
3
stipulated schedule and proposed order for those dates.

Accordingly, the Court SETS the following schedule:
