STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
AMEND DISCOVERY PLAN AND
SCHEDULING ORDER
SoFi Bank N.A., et al.,
(Third Request)
Defendants.
15
16
Defendant SoFi Bank, N.A. (“SoFi”)1 and Plaintiff Angela Bangert (jointly, the
17
“Parties”), by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and agree to
18
amend the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (ECF No. 37) by extending the
19
outstanding discovery deadlines for a period of sixty (60) days. This is the third request
20
for an extension to the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order in this matter, and it is
21
sought in good faith and not for purposes of delay.
22
I.
Discovery Completed
23
Plaintiff has served written discovery, including requests for production of
24
documents, requests for admission, and interrogatories, to SoFi, and SoFi has
25
responded. SoFi has served written discovery, including requests for production of
26
documents and interrogatories, to Plaintiff, and Plaintiff has responded. Plaintiff has

taken the deposition of SoFi’s 30(b)(6) representative, and SoFi has taken Plaintiff’s
2
deposition.
3
II.
Discovery That Remains to Be Completed
4
Plaintiff has served additional notices of 30(b)(1) depositions of SoFi employees,
5
which have not yet occurred. The Parties additionally still need to potentially serve
6
additional written discovery, serve third-party subpoenas, conduct third-party
7
depositions, and conduct expert discovery.
8
III.
Good Cause Exists for the Requested Extension
9
The Parties initially stayed discovery pending settlement discussions.
10
Following the stay, this Court granted an additional 30-day extension of the discovery
11
plan. Although the Parties have cooperated in good faith during that time toward
12
meeting their discovery obligations, as the facts in this case have continued to develop,
13
and disagreements as to certain facts and discovery have arisen, it has become clear
14
that the Parties require additional time to complete discovery, have effective
15
conversations, and resolve specific discovery disagreements.
16
The additional time will allow the Parties to attempt to resolve the discovery
17
issues between themselves, conduct additional fact discovery, and adequately
18
determine whether expert discovery will be needed in this matter. Further, no party
19
will be prejudiced by the Court granted this Stipulation, as all Parties jointly seek an
20
extension of these deadlines. Moreover, the Parties believe that allowing the extension
21
will serve the ends of judicial economy.
22
As further good cause, Plaintiff contends discovery yielded documents that were
23
not timely produced as well as witnesses who were not disclosed until recently –
24
Defendant disputes these contentions. In lieu of a Motion to Compel such information,
25
the Parties are working together to amicably resolve the discovery dispute without the
26
need for Court intervention.
