Case No. 2:16-cv-2978-JAD-NJK
STIPULATION TO STAY RULING ON
MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND AND
OTHER MATTERS
[FIRST REQUEST]
ECF Nos. 24, 28
COMES NOW Plaintiff John Ashcraft (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Experian Information
Solutions, Inc. (“Experian”), by and through their undersigned counsel of record, hereby
Case 2:16-cv-02978-JAD-NJK Document 28 Filed 06/22/17 Page 2 of 3
1
stipulate and agree as follows:
2
1.
On May 3, 2017, Plaintiff took the 30(b)(6) deposition of Experian.
3
2.
On May 9, 2017, and based in large part on Experian’s 30(b)(6) testimony,
4
Plaintiff moved for leave to amend his Complaint to add class allegations against
5
Experian under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., and NRS
6
598C. ECF Dkt. 24.
7
3.
On May 23, 2017, Experian filed its response to the motion. ECF Dkt. 25.
8
4.
On May 30, 2017, Plaintiff filed his reply in support of the motion. ECF Dkt. 26.
9
5.
On June 14, 2017, Experian submitted a list of proposed changes to the deposition
10
testimony, as well as a list of confidential designations to the transcript itself. See
11
Exhibit 1. In that letter, Experian stated that because the revisions to the 30(b)(6)
12
testimony obviated a fact relied on in support of Plaintiff’s motion, Experian
13
invited Plaintiff to withdraw the pending motion to dismiss and offered
14
Experian’s witness for re-deposition, as well as to extend all relevant case
15
deadlines.1
16
6.
On June 17, 2017, Plaintiff submitted a letter to Experian’s counsel, outlining
17
concerns with the revisions to Experian’s 30(b)(6) testimony, the confidential
18
designations made to the transcript, and other discovery-related matters. Exhibit
19
2. Therein, among other things, Plaintiff’s counsel indicated that he might be
20
moving to strike many of the revisions to the deposition testimony. Id.
21
7.
22
23
The parties have agreed to meet and confer on several of the issues outlined in his
June 17, 2017 letter on Monday, June 26, 2017.
8.
In the interim, the parties agree that until they are able to meet and confer on
24
matters related to Experian’s June 14, 2017 discovery letter and either agree to
25
resolve them among themselves or or seek judicial guidance on the same, they do
26
27
1
Plaintiff believes that the revisions implicate his proposed class claim under the FCRA,
but not his proposed class claim under NRS 598C.

1
not wish to burden the Court’s resources with adjudication of the motion for leave
2
to amend.
3
9.
Therefore, the parties request that a ruling on the motion, as well as all relevant
4
case deadlines, be stayed until such time as the instant dispute regarding the
5
revised deposition testimony is reached.
6
10.
If the parties are able to reach a resolution regarding these matters without Court
7
involvement, the parties will submit a stipulation informing the Court to that
8
effect and proposing a timetable for remaining case deadlines.
9
11.
Good cause exists to grant the stay, because judicial economy is served by staying
10
the motion and conserving judicial resources while the parties attempt to resolve
11
this issue among themselves prior to asking the Court to adjudicate the motion.
