STIPULATED MOTION
19
Plaintiffs and Defendants (together, the “parties”), hereby stipulate to modifying the court-
20 ordered deadline for the end of fact discovery and subsequent case deadlines.
21
On November 17, 2021, Plaintiffs filed the Amended Consolidated Class Action
22 Complaint against Defendants.
23
On February 18, 2022, the Court issued an Order Setting Discovery And Pretrial Dates that
24 set the close of fact discovery on December 16, 2022. ECF No. 72.
25
The parties have engaged in discovery, including document requests, interrogatories, and
26 discovery conferences, as well as discovery-related motion practice.
27
The Court recently resolved outstanding disputes between the parties. ECF Nos. 123, 136,
28 138, 139.

CASE NO.: 2:21-CV-00750-RSL

1191 SECOND AVENUE, 10TH FLOOR
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101
In view of the Court’s recent orders on discovery, the parties have met and conferred in
1
2 good faith to discuss the need for an extension of the fact discovery deadline given the significant
3 volume of discovery to be completed. The parties agree that there is good cause to extend that
4 deadline to August 16, 2023 in order to complete fact discovery, including the discovery addressed
5 in the Court’s October 3 and 31 orders (ECF Nos. 123, 136), and depositions of both parties.
The parties agree and respectfully request that the Court extend fact discovery cutoff and
6
7 subsequent deadlines by approximately eight-and-a-half months as follows:
8
August 16, 2023 - Fact discovery cutoff
9
October 10, 2023 - Last day to file motion for class certification (including expert
report in support of class certification)
10
11
December 8, 2023 - Last day to file opposition to class certification (including
expert report in opposition to class certification)
12
13
January 11, 2024 - Last day to file reply in support of class certification (including
14
reply class certification expert report limited to any new subjects introduced in
15
opposition report)
The Parties further agree to continue discussing in good faith interim deadlines related to
16
17 fact discovery but may need further assistance from the Court if they are unable to come to a
18 resolution. These interim deadlines will include, inter alia, deadlines for Defendants’ substantial
19 completion of document production and production of privilege logs. Defendants are in the
20 process of collecting the ESI necessary to comply with the Court’s order, and are assessing the
21 time and resources necessary to complete their production. Defendants currently anticipate that
22 their production will be substantially complete at least four months before the close of discovery,
23 but if additional time is required, the parties agree jointly to request a further extension of the fact
24 discovery cutoff to ensure that plaintiffs have four months to review Defendants’ document
25 production and complete fact witness depositions.
