STIPULATION WITH PROPOSED ORDER STIPULATION TO AMEND CASE SCHEDULE… — Brooks v. Thomson Reuters Corporation (Dkt. 77)

Summary

In Document 77, filed 02/28/22 in Case No. 3:21-cv-1418-EMC before Hon. Edward M. Chen, Plaintiffs Cat Brooks and Rasheed Shabazz and Defendant Thomson Reuters Corporation stipulate to amend the case schedule, with a proposed order. The parties say an approximately 60-day extension is appropriate, noting that Plaintiffs' lead counsel Andre M. Mura is serving as a juror in a California Superior Court trial expected to run from February 28 to approximately March 25, and that this is the first request to modify the schedule. A table moves disclosure of primary class certification experts from March 1, 2022 to May 2, 2022 and the class certification hearing from December 8, 2022 to March 16, 2023, or another date the Court deems appropriate. It also moves the close of fact discovery from February 8, 2023 to May 15, 2023.
