STIPULATED MOTION ESTABLISHING BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR LEAD PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER REGARDING SUBPOENAS TO ABSENT CLASS MEMBERS; ORDER
Noted for Consideration: April 12, 2011
MARSHA J. PECHMAN, District Judge.
I. STIPULATED MOTION
Defendants in this litigation have issued several subpoenas to absent members of the proposed class. Lead Plaintiffs believe that, in the circumstances of this case, such subpoenas are impermissible and should be quashed. Defendants disagree. The parties met and conferred telephonically on this issue on April 11, 2011, but were unable to resolve their differences. Lead Plaintiffs advised Defendants of their intention to seek a protective order which would provide that the requested discovery not be had.
The parties do, however, agree that this issue is important and that the Court should be afforded the opportunity to resolve it expeditiously. Therefore they have agreed on the following expedited briefing schedule, subject to the Court's approval:
• Plaintiffs shall file their motion for a protective order by no later than Wednesday, April 13, 2011.
• Defendants shall file their opposition to this motion by no later than Tuesday April 19, 2011.
• Plaintiffs shall file their reply by no later than Friday, April 22, 2011.
The matter will then be deemed to have been submitted to the Court, with an in-person or telephonic hearing to be held at the convenience of the Court only if the Court believes that such a hearing would facilitate its ability to decide this issue.
Should the Court grant the parties' stipulated motion, no other deadlines set in this case will be affected.
For the reasons provided above, the parties respectfully request that the Court enter an order establishing the proposed briefing schedule.
Respectfully submitted,
II. ORDER
The Court has reviewed the stipulated proposed order and GRANTS the relief requested. The Court also recommends the parties consider using the unified format rule set out in Local Rule CR 37 to submit this and other issues to the Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
