WHEREAS, on September 4, 2024, the Court ordered pursuant to the Parties’ Stipulation

2

that Plaintiffs must amend their respective operative Complaints by no later than October 8, 2024

3

(the “Operative Complaint Deadline”). Yip, ECF No. 63.

4

WHEREAS on September 10, 2024, the Court entered an Order stating that the Parties

5

must, no later than September 24, 2024, file a discovery plan and scheduling order, or a

6

stipulation to temporarily stay discovery. Yip, ECF No. 64.

7

WHEREAS, on September 19, 2024, counsel for the Hamilton Plaintiffs and counsel for

8

BANA met and conferred on discovery and agreed to continue the deadline for BANA to submit

9

its proposed Discovery Plan until after the Operative Complaint Deadline, so the Parties could

10

meaningfully meet and confer on the remaining claims and remaining Plaintiffs.

11

WHEREAS, on September 24, 2024, counsel for the Individual Plaintiffs advised BANA

12

that they intended to file a Motion to Stay Discovery and Motion to Stay Case on September 24,

13

2024, and stipulated to a stay of discovery until after the Operative Complaint Deadline.

14

In order to ensure counsel for BANA has sufficient time to review the forthcoming

15

amended complaint(s) to determine which Plaintiffs and claims remain in the litigation and the

16

scope of the Individual Plaintiffs’ proposed stay, the Parties have agreed that BANA’s deadline to

17

its discovery plan be continued twenty-eight (28) days until October 22, 2024.
