Stipulation and Order to Modify the December 15, 2014 Scheduling Order Complaint Filed: October 25, 2013
Trial Date: None Set
Pursuant to Local Rules 6 and 7, Plaintiffs and Defendants Tempur-Sealy International, Inc. and Tempur-pedic North America, LLC (collectively, "Defendants", and, together with Plaintiffs, the "Parties"), hereby stipulate and agree to the following modification of the December 15, 2014 Scheduling Order:
I. BACKGROUND
1. Plaintiffs filed the original Complaint on October 25, 2013. Plaintiffs filed the First Amended Complaint on November 7, 2013 and the Second Amended Complaint on August 29, 2014. (Doc. 63). Adams Dec. ¶ 3.
2. On October 17 and December 15, 2014, the Parties filed a Joint Motion and Stipulation to Modify the Scheduling Order, and pursuant thereto, the Parties stipulated and agreed to certain modified deadlines.
3. Document production from third parties is more voluminous than anticipated. Both parties recognize that their expert witnesses need additional time to review and analyze third party produced documents before the class certification motion, expert declaration and/or reports, and expert depositions occur. Adams Dec. ¶ 4.
4. Both parties agree to extend certain deadlines contained in the December 15, 2014 Scheduling Order, for a period of up to thirty (30) days. Adams Dec. ¶ 8.
5. Counsel for the Plaintiffs and Defendants have stipulated and agreed, subject to the Court's approval, of the following modified deadlines that will, at most, extend the current outstanding deadlines by a period of thirty (30) days, but in the event that counsel for the Plaintiffs does not need the full thirty (30) days, would largely keep this matter on the current schedule set by this Court.
6. The modification of the December 15, 2014 Scheduling Order will benefit all Parties because it will enable the Parties and their experts to thoroughly develop and complete the underlying discovery necessary to prepare and respond to Plaintiffs' motion for class certification. Adams Dec. ¶ 6.
7. This is the third request for modification of the Scheduling Order. Adams Dec. ¶ 7.
