1 	Case No. 4:16-cv-05544-HSG
Stipulation to Revise Briefing and Hearing Schedule on Defendants’ Motion to Decertify the Class
STIPULATION TO REVISE BRIEFING AND HEARING SCHEDULE
ON DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DECERTIFY CLASS
The parties hereby stipulate and jointly ask the Court to order the following revised
schedule for briefing and hearing on Defendants’ recently filed Motion to Decertify Class (ECF
218):
- 	Plaintiffs’ Opposition to the Motion to Decertify the Class shall be due December 19,
2025;
- 	Defendants’ Reply shall be due January 9, 2026;
- 	The hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Decertify the Class shall be reset to January 22,
2026. Counsel arguing the motion shall appear in person, while other counsel may
appear remotely.
Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, in support of this stipulated change in deadlines, the parties
state as follows:
On November 13, 2025, Defendants filed a Motion to Decertify Class and noticed it for the
next available hearing date on the Court’s calendar, December 18, 2025. ECF 218. Under the
default schedule for noticed motions, Plaintiffs’ opposition would be due on Friday, November 28,
2025, the day after Thanksgiving. ECF 218; LR 7-3(a).
Plaintiffs’ counsel have pre-scheduled travel and time out of the office the full week of
Thanksgiving. They also have many other pressing deadlines in this and other cases in the coming
weeks, including a December 8, 2025 deadline to respond to Defendants’ petition for writ of
certiorari to the Supreme Court in this case. These holiday plans and other deadlines together made
it infeasible for counsel to prepare and file an opposition to the motion to decertify by the day after
Thanksgiving, and Plaintiffs’ counsel therefore reached out to counsel for Defendants to propose a
stipulation to extend their opposition deadline by three weeks, to December 19, 2025, to allow
adequate time to prepare a response.
Defendants agreed to Plaintiffs’ request and requested in turn that, given the winter
holidays, their reply deadline be extended to January 9, 2026. Plaintiffs have agreed.
To account for this revised briefing schedule, and subject to the Court’s approval, the
parties have agreed to reset the hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Decertify to January 22, 2026.

Stipulation to Revise Briefing and Hearing Schedule on Defendants’ Motion to Decertify the Class
Counsel arguing the motion are available to attend in person. At least one counsel from Defendants
who will not be arguing the motion requests permission to attend remotely, given scheduling and
travel constraints.
The parties have previously stipulated and filed unopposed motions to modify various
briefing schedules in this case. ECF 20, 21, 36, 37, 78, 79, 141, 142. There have been no prior
modifications of the briefing schedule for Defendants’ Motion to Decertify.
The stipulated revision to the briefing and hearing schedule will not otherwise affect the
schedule in this case, as the trial has not yet been set.
