2 JOINT [PROPOSED] CASE
MANAGEMENT DEADLINES
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1) and Civil Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiffs City of
Richmond and Richmond Joint Powers Financing Authority (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and Defendants
Royal Bank of Canada and Public Resources Advisory Group (collectively, “Defendants,”1 and,
together with Plaintiffs, “the Parties”), by and through their counsel, hereby stipulate as follows:
WHEREAS, on June 23, 2025, the Court entered the Parties’ Joint Stipulation to Extend
Current Case Deadlines (ECF No. 21);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the deadlines established by ECF No. 21, on July 9, 2025, Plaintiffs
filed an amended complaint in this Action (the “Unjust Enrichment Action”) (ECF No. 22); on July 30,
2025, the Parties met and conferred regarding initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR process
selection, and discovery plan; and on July 30, 2025, the Parties filed ADR Certifications (ECF Nos.
23-25);
WHEREAS, on August 12, 2025, the Court entered a stipulation staying the remaining case
deadlines established by ECF No. 21 because the City Attorney for the City of Richmond, the
prosecuting authority for Plaintiffs (“Plaintiffs’ Prosecuting Authority”), filed a California False
Claims Act case against Royal Bank of Canada and JPMC based on allegations related to this action
that remained under seal (the “CA FCA Action”), and the parties to the Unjust Enrichment Action
agreed that, once the CA FCA Action was unsealed, they would seek relation of the two actions (ECF
No. 27);
WHEREAS, on September 30, 2025, the parties to the Unjust Enrichment Action moved to
relate the CA FCA Action to this case (ECF No. 28);
WHEREAS, on October 1, 2025, the Court entered an order relating the CA FCA Action to this
case (ECF No. 30);
WHEREAS, the parties to the two actions met and conferred and determined that, since
Plaintiffs’ Prosecuting Authority intended to amend the complaint in the CA FCA Action, the parties
1 Though named as a defendant in the caption above, the Amended Complaint, ECF No. 22, no longer
asserts any claims against JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“JPMC”), which is no longer a party to this
Action. Further, despite numerous attempts, Plaintiffs have not yet been able to effectuate service on
defendant The Majors Group.

should wait to set further deadlines until after the amendment is filed so that they can confer regarding
whether they will stipulate to consolidate the actions and, if so, for what purposes;

Plaintiffs’ Prosecuting Authority to file an amended complaint in the CA FCA Action and a deadline
of 14 days after the amended CA FCA Action complaint is filed for the parties to jointly propose new
case management deadlines to replace the deadlines in ECF No. 21 that this Court stayed in ECF No.
27 (ECF No. 34);
WHEREAS Plaintiffs’ Prosecuting Authority filed an amended complaint in the CA FCA
Action on December 5, 2025, the parties conferred regarding new case management deadlines and
coordination with the CA FCA action, and the parties stipulated to extend their time to propose new
