STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER REGARDING JOINT
DISCOVERY LETTER BRIEF
Judge: Hon. Edward M. Chen
STIPULATION
This Stipulation and [Proposed] Order is entered into by and between Plaintiffs' Interim Co-Lead Counsel and Defendants' counsel (collectively, the "Parties") as follows:
WHEREAS, on February 14, 2013, the Parties filed a Further Joint Status Report stating that the Parties anticipate filing discovery motions in the form of joint letter briefs no later than March 18, 2013 (Dkt. No. 147);
WHEREAS, on March 11, 2013, counsel for the undersigned parties met-and-conferred regarding Plaintiffs' discovery requests, Defendants' responses and objections to Plaintiffs' discovery requests, and the permissible scope of arbitration-related discovery. Counsel from the West Coast met and conferred in person in San Francisco, and counsel located in Chicago and the Washington, D.C. area participated telephonically;
WHEREAS, the Parties anticipate that they will be unable to reach agreement as to Plaintiffs' requests for arbitration-related discovery, but are continuing to meet and confer in an attempt to reach a resolution and narrow the issues in dispute;
WHEREAS, in compliance with the Court's Civil Standing Order on Discovery, the Parties anticipate filing a Joint Letter Brief seeking the Court's assistance with resolving their disputes on March 21, 2013;
WHEREAS, the Parties propose filing a single consolidated Joint Letter Brief on behalf of all Parties, rather than filing separate letter briefs concerning the discovery requests issued to each Defendant;
WHEREAS, the Parties propose that the page limit for the consolidated Joint Letter Brief be expanded from three (3) pages to no more than ten (10) pages, exclusive of the Parties' signature blocks, to accommodate the discovery disputes between Plaintiffs and each of the seven Defendants;
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties, by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate, subject to Court approval, as follows:
1. The Parties shall file one consolidated Joint Letter Brief on behalf of all Parties on March 21, 2013; and
2. The page limit for the Joint Letter Brief is expanded from three (3) to no more than ten (10) pages, exclusive of the Parties' signature blocks.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
