STIPULATION AND ORDER
CONFIRMING SCHEDULE AND
RELATED MATTERS FOR
RESPONSES AND REPLIES WITH
RESPECT TO JOINT MOTION
FOR JUDGMENT ON THE
PLEADINGS
20
1.
On February 19, 2020, a Status Conference was held in this matter before the
21
Honorable William G. Cobb, U.S. Magistrate Judge, concerning the Proposed Scheduling
22
23
24
Order and Discovery Plan (ECF 2598).
2.
As a result of that Status Conference, the parties agreed to revise the Proposed
25
Scheduling Order and Discovery Plan pursuant to the discussion with and instructions from the
26
Court. See Minutes of Proceedings, ECF 2605.
27
3.
The parties have been directed to file a revised Proposed Scheduling Order and
28
Discovery Plan by March 13, 2020.

2
4.
On February 20, 2020, Plaintiffs filed a Joint Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings (ECF 2606) (the “Joint Motion”).
3
5.
During the Status Conference, Plaintiffs stated that they would be filing the Joint
4
Motion, and it was agreed that the schedule for responses and replies to the Joint Motion would
5
6
be as the parties had agreed in the not yet final Proposed Scheduling Order and Discovery Plan.
6.
7
In addition, the parties were in substantial agreement on the provisions to be
8
included in the Proposed Scheduling Order and Discovery Plan concerning coordination, to the
9
extent feasible, with respect to the filing of motions, the grounds for motions, briefs supporting
10
motions, and page limits with respect to briefs concerning motions.
11
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
12
1.
The party groups (i.e., Plaintiffs and Principal Defendants) will coordinate their
13
14
15
respective responsive and reply briefs with respect to the Joint Motion, and will do their best to
file joint responses or replies.
2.
16
Plaintiffs and Principal Defendants potentially have common issues to brief. To
17
the extent feasible, the party groups (i.e., Plaintiffs and Principal Defendants) shall separately
18
work as a group to file a single brief on a common issue. No page limit will be imposed on a
19
response or reply to the extent that multiple common issues are incorporated into a single brief.
20
3.
If a response or reply is filed by individual parties rather than as a group, the
21
22
Local Rules of the Court concerning page limitations shall apply.
