STIPULATION

2

The parties, by and through their counsel, have agreed and stipulate as follows:

3

1.

The Court entered the parties’ stipulated motion and proposed order for a 30-day

4

interim extension of the existing class certification schedules, while the parties discussed a

5

potentially longer extension. The parties have since met and conferred and agree that good cause

6

justifies a further one-month extension of the Court’s current class certification briefing schedule

7

in the De Coster and Frame-Wilson cases.

8

2.

After Amazon filed its opposition to class certification in De Coster, the parties

9

met and conferred concerning an extension of time that Plaintiffs requested in order to address

10

the arguments and materials in that opposition brief and accompanying expert report. Based on

11

that meet and confer, the parties agreed to a further 30-day extension of the existing class

12

certification schedules, as follows:
