Sonal,

Attached, our revisions in Track Changes to the two Stipulations,
[Proposed] Order, and your declaration. You have our consent to file these
pleadings only as revised.

I look forward to working with you, too. In normal times, it would still be
difficult to file jointly the same day if we receive the drafts at or after the
close of business eastern time where Children's Health Defense and its
general counsel are located. And, these are not normal times. I'm in
Mendocino County right now.

We will not agree to continue the November 20, 2020 case management
conference at this time. In particular, we have concerns about ESI retention
and protocols in this case for which the Local Rules contemplate a specific

meet and confer, and stipulation.

We also believe that such stipulation should commit your clients not to
apply amended Section 3.2 of Facebook's Terms of Service (effective October
1, 2020) to Children's Health Defense during the pendency of this litigation,
for reasons we can discuss at the ESI-meet and confer.

I look forward to discussing this matter with you at 11:30am today.

best,
Roger Teich

Roger,

Attached, please find the stipulations we discussed last Friday, extending the deadline responses to
the complaint to October 23, and setting a further briefing schedule including a deadline of January
7, 2021, for defendants’ replies. (The local rules treat motions for extensions of time to respond to a
complaint differently from other extensions, so we have to file two separate stipulations). We would
like to get these on file today and appreciate your confirmation that we have permission to sign for
you.

Also, given that the motion(s) to dismiss won’t be fully briefed until January 2021, we have proposed
including a stipulation continuing the November 20 case management conference for the time
being.

We can join a call for 30 minutes at 11:30 am PT tomorrow. Speak with you then.

Best,

Hi All,

This will memorialize our phone call just now in which we agreed to a
schedule in which (1) your client defendants will file responses to the
Complaint by Friday, October 23, 2020; and (2) plaintiff will file its
opposition to any motion to dismiss by Monday, December 7, 2020, subject
to plaintiff's good cause for any further extension.

For our part, this agreement assumes that Sonal will also be representing
Mark Zuckerberg individually, and that his response and plaintiff's
responsive pleading (if any) will be governed by the stipulation. Please
confirm at your early convenience.

We think it would be useful to hold another conference call next week to
discuss a few early case management issues which are likely to arise. There
is also a separate issue concerning Facebook only which we wish to take up
with Sonal , perhaps at the end of the call.

How is Wednesday, September 9, at 11:30am PT/ 2:30 pm ET for a (no more
than) 30-minute discussion?

Here is dial-in we can use --

 1           Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2(a), Defendants Facebook, Inc., Mark Zuckerberg, The

 2   Poynter Institute for Media Studies, Inc., and PolitiFact (“Defendants”) and Plaintiff Children’s Health

 3   Defense (“Plaintiff”), by and through their respective counsel, have consented to the following

 4   enlargement of time to file Plaintiff’s Opposition to any Rule 12 motion or other response to the

 5   Complaint:

 6           1.      Plaintiff’s Opposition to any Rule 12 motions or other responses filed by Defendants

 7                   shall be due December 21, 2020.

 8           2.      Defendants’ Replies to Plaintiff’s Opposition shall be due January 21, 2021.

 9           Plaintiff filed the Complaint on August 17, 2020. (Dkt. 1). Plaintiff served the Complaint on

10   Defendant Facebook, Inc. on August 19, 2020 (Dkt. 16), and attempted service on Defendants The

11   Poynter Institute for Media Studies, Inc., and PolitiFact on August 19, 2020 and August 27, 2020,

12   respectively. A summons issued to Defendant Mark Zuckerberg on August 19, 2020. (Dkt. 7).

13   Defendants’ deadline to respond to the Complaint has been enlarged once by currently-filed stipulation

14   to October 23, 2020. 1

15           Good cause exists, and the parties’ stipulated request for an enlargement of time is reasonable
16   in light of the complicated subject matter of this case, the number of issues in dispute, and the need to
17   coordinate among multiple, separately represented defendants. The Complaint includes four counts
18   invoking complex issues of constitutional and statutory law. Moreover, the Thanksgiving holiday falls
19   within the time allotted for Plaintiff to prepare its Opposition, as do the currently-scheduled case
20   management conference and related filings, and the winter holidays fall within the time allotted for
21   Defendants to prepare their replies. This stipulated request is supported by the accompanying
22   Declaration of Sonal N. Mehta.
23           Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2(a), Plaintiff and Defendants hereby request that the Court
24   enter an order allowing the enlargement of time and continuance set forth above.

      Defendants reserve their rights to raise any jurisdictional, service-related, or venue-related
28   challenges in response to the Complaint, and this Stipulation does not waive any such rights.
