Procedure 30(b)(6) deposition will take place only two weeks before the current class

certification motion filing deadline which will not “allow sufficient time for Plaintiff to receive

5

and analyze the transcript for use in support of the motion.” Id. at 2. In further support, the

6

parties state that because the parties only recently reached an agreement regarding Defendants’

7

production of a sample of class records, Plaintiff will need additional time to “obtain the records

8

and submit them to an expert for analysis in support of the motion.” Id. at 2-3.
