v.
CONVERSE, INC.,
Defendant.

Re: Dkt. Nos. 68, 70, 71

14
15

Chavez moved to extend the deadline to reply to his motion to class certification,

16

arguing that he required time to depose 5 declarants. Dkt. No. 68. The Court denied this

17

request without prejudice and required the parties to either submit a stipulation or a joint

18

letter brief. Instead, the parties filed separate status reports.

19

After reviewing those status reports, the Court finds that Chavez’s request is

20

reasonable, that defendant initially agreed to the request, and that defendant will not be

21

prejudiced by an extension of the deadlines.

22

Thus, the Court extends the deadline to file Chavez’s reply brief to August 15 and

23

moves the class certification hearing to September 7. Plaintiff may depose up to the five

24

declarants by July 29, 2016. The Court expects the parties to meet and confer in good faith

25

as to the logistics and scope of the depositions.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
