As the Court is aware, this case is one of over thirty related lawsuits sitting before this
Court. Recognizing the complexity of litigating these lawsuits simultaneously, the parties agreed

7
8

to divide the cases into five groups and stagger deadlines in order to streamline the litigation
process and avoid overlapping dispositive motion deadlines. On February 10, 2017, the parties

10

agreed to a comprehensive briefing schedule for dispositive motions in the remaining groups of

Unilaterally and without notice to defense counsel, on the day before oppositions were due,

15

Plaintiffs filed a request for an extension to file oppositions to the Motions for Summary Judgment

16

on March 28, 2017, in the foregoing cases: Barnes v. Eldorado Resorts Corp., Case No.: 2:15-cv-

22

(ECF No. 66), seeking to extend the current filing date of March 29, 2017, to April 12, 2017. This
request remains pending before the Court. Due to this delay, the entire comprehensive briefing

24

make it difficult to comply with the current briefing schedules for the remaining matters.

25
26

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to adjust the briefing schedule in the manner
presented below in an effort to allow the parties to comply with the briefing schedule in a

27
reasonable manner as follows:
