Plaintiffs Tamara Lohr and Ravikiran Sindogi and Defendant Nissan North America, Inc.
19 respectfully request that the Court extend the briefing deadlines for Nissan’s motions to
20 exclude as set forth below and re‐note Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, Dkt. No. 109,
21 so all four motions are considered and heard together. The deadline for Plaintiffs to file their
22 reply in support of class certification, which is currently set for August 2, 2021, would remain
23 unchanged.
24
There is good cause to grant the parties’ motion. On June 14, 2021, Defendant filed its
25 opposition to Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification together with its expert disclosures and
26 reports. Dkt. Nos. 123, 123‐2, 123‐6, 123‐12, 123‐18. Contemporaneously with those filings,
27 Defendant filed three separate motions to exclude Plaintiffs’ experts, each of which relies, in

part, on the opinions of its own experts. See Dkt. Nos. 124, 125, and 126. Plaintiffs’ deadline to
respond to the motions to exclude is July 5, 2021 and Defendants deadline to reply is July 9,
2021. See Dkt. No. 127.
To fully respond to Defendant’s motions, Plaintiffs will need to depose Defendant’s
four experts. The parties have worked together to coordinate these depositions, and they are
tentatively scheduled for July 9, July 13, July 14, and July 16, 2021. Once the depositions are
complete, Plaintiffs will need time to obtain and analyze the transcripts and integrate the
testimony into their responses. The parties are also coordinating deadlines with a companion
case filed in the Northern District of California, Johnson et al. v. Nissan North America, Inc.,
No. 3:17‐cv‐00517‐WHO. The Plaintiffs in Johnson are seeking a similar extension of the
briefing schedule on Defendant’s motions to exclude, which will allow both cases to remain on
parallel tracks. The extended briefing schedule proposed below will not meaningfully delay
the resolution of this case and will allow the parties to better address the complex and highly
technical subject matter involved in Defendant’s motions.
Accordingly, amending the briefing schedule to allow Plaintiffs to depose Defendant’s
experts, with a commensurate extension of the deadline for Defendant to file its replies, will
serve the interests of the parties and judicial efficiency. The parties therefore stipulate and
move the Court for an order extending the briefing schedule on Defendant’s motions to
exclude and re‐noting Plaintiff’s motion as follows:
