Exhibit A — In re Plaid Inc. Privacy Litigation (Dkt. 55-2, N.D. Cal. No. 4:20-cv-03056)

Summary

Exhibit A, Document 55-2 in Case 4:20-cv-03056-DMR, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (filed July 28, 2020): an email chain between Shawn Kennedy and Ethan Dettmer dated July 24 to July 27, 2020. Kennedy proposes a new joint administrative motion or stipulation in light of the impending deadline for the joint Rule 26(f) report and the Evans plaintiffs' joinder, asking the Court to continue the CMC until approximately 30 days after ruling on the stipulation. Dettmer replies that, absent word from the Court, Plaid will agree to a further stipulation on consolidation and scheduling that includes the Evans plaintiffs. Dettmer disagrees with the CMC scheduling proposal and favors moving the CMC until after the ruling on the motion to dismiss.

RE: Cottle - Joint Admin Motion / Stipulation
Dear Shawn – thanks for your email. If we don’t hear from the Court today, we will agree to a further filing – a further 
stipulation regarding consolidation and scheduling that tracks the earlier one and includes the Evans
plaintiffs. However, as you know from our earlier conversations, we believe that efficiency will be much better served 
for the parties and the Court if the CMC is pushed back to after the ruling on the motion to dismiss, so we don’t agree 
with your proposal regarding CMC scheduling. If we are going to agree to a further filing, it will need to make that 
clear. Please let me know if you’d like to discuss.
Thanks,
Ethan

Ethan,
Please let me know what you decide on this - we will need to get something on file today one way or the 
other. Also, in the event Judge Ryu wants the CMC to go forward on its current date, what times may work for 
you tomorrow for a call to discuss the topics that need to be included in our Rule 26(f) report?

Hi Ethan,
In light of the impending deadline for the parties to file their joint Rule 26(f) report and related items, and now 
that the plaintiffs in the Evans case have filed a joinder in our stipulation consolidating the actions, we think it 
would be wise to file a new joint administrative motion or stipulation where we lay out the current procedural
status and demonstrate that the only things left for Judge Ryu to do are (1) grant the parties' stipulation and 
(2) set a new CMC for the consolidated actions. On the latter point, we suggest requesting that she continue 
the CMC until approximately 30 days after ruling on our stipulation, or as soon thereafter as the court's 
schedule allows.
Please let me know if Plaid will join in such a motion/stipulation.
Thanks, Shawn
