1 	Case No. 4:16-cv-05544-HSG
Stipulation to Revise Briefing and Hearing Schedule on
Defendants’ Motion to Amend Scheduling Order to Reopen Discovery
STIPULATION TO REVISE BRIEFING AND HEARING SCHEDULE
ON DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO AMEND SCHEDULING ORDER
TO REOPEN DISCOVERY
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 Amend Scheduling
Order to Reopen Discovery (ECF 226):
- 	Plaintiffs’ Opposition to the Motion to Amend Scheduling Order to Reopen Discovery
shall be due March 10, 2026;
- 	Defendants’ Reply shall be due March 20, 2026;
- 	The hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Amend Scheduling Order to Reopen Discovery
shall be set for April 16, 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 February 10, 2026, Defendants filed a Motion to Amend Scheduling Order to Reopen
Discovery and noticed it for hearing on April 2, 2016. ECF 226. Under the default schedule for
noticed motions, Plaintiffs’ opposition would be due on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. ECF 226; LR
7-3(a). On February 11, 2026, the clerk of court issued a notice vacating the hearing date, stating
that April 2 was not the Court’s next available hearing date when the motion was filed, and
directing counsel to re-notice the motion to an available hearing date. ECF 227. The notice stated
that the briefing schedule remains in effect. Id.
Subject to the Court’s approval, the parties have agreed to set the hearing on Defendants’
Motion to Amend Scheduling Order to Reopen Discovery for April 16, 2026. That date is the next
available hearing date now currently listed in the Court’s online scheduling notes. Counsel arguing
the motion are available to attend in person.
Plaintiffs’ counsel have pre-scheduled travel and time out of the office during much of the
coming two weeks. They also have many other pressing deadlines in this and other cases in the
coming weeks. These travel plans and other deadlines together made it infeasible for counsel to
prepare and file an opposition to the motion within the default two-week deadline. Plaintiffs and

2 	Case No. 4:16-cv-05544-HSG
Stipulation to Revise Briefing and Hearing Schedule on
Defendants’ Motion to Amend Scheduling Order to Reopen Discovery
Defendants have agreed that, to accommodate these scheduling restrictions, they request the Court
extend Plaintiffs’ deadline to file an opposition to the motion to March 10, 2026, and Defendants’
deadline to file a reply to March 20, 2026. This revised briefing schedule will not delay the hearing
on the motion.
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, 219, 220. There have been no
prior modifications of the briefing schedule for Defendants’ Motion to Amend Scheduling Order
to Reopen Discovery.
The stipulated revision to the briefing and hearing schedule will not otherwise affect the
schedule in this case, as the revised briefing schedule will allow briefing to be complete well
before the re-set April 16, 2026 hearing date, and that date is the first available hearing date on the
Court’s schedule.
