Joint Stipulation and Order to Extend the deadline to file dispositive motions and Plaintiff's motion for class certification

(Sixth Request)

CARL W. HOFFMAN, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff Lee C. Kamimura ("Plaintiff") and Defendant Ditech Financial LLC, fka Green Tree Services LLC ("Defendant" and together with Plaintiff, the "Parties") by and through their counsel of record hereby stipulate to extend the motions deadline in this case as follows:

The current deadline to file dispositive motions is February 28, 2018. ECF No. 44. Since this Court's October 3, 2017 scheduling order, ECF No. 44, this Court granted two additional stipulations by the parties to extend the discovery cutoff. ECF Nos. 46, 48.

Good cause exists to amend the Scheduling Order. The parties took each others' experts depositions on February 8-9, 2018. The parties are still waiting for deposition transcripts to become available. Discovery is closed and the Parties do not seek any additional discovery, other than the discovery dispute raised in Plaintiff's motion to compel discovery. ECF No. 29.

The Parties are also continuing to actively discuss an informal resolution to this matter.

Pursuant to LR 26-4(a), the Parties have propounded written discovery requests on each other, have taken each others' depositions and expert depositions.

Pursuant to LR 26-4(b), the Parties request additional time to receive, read and sign, expert deposition transcripts and file dispositive motions in this case and for Plaintiff to file his class certification motion.

Plaintiff anticipates filing his motion for class certification and a motion for summary judgment on or before March 7, 2018. The parties request a 45-day extension to file their dispositive motions.

Pursuant to LR 26-4(d), the Parties respectfully propose the following briefing schedule:

This is the Parties' sixth request for an extension of these deadlines.
