STIPULATION AND ORDER RE PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATIONS
CLAUDIA WILKEN, District Judge.
Plaintiff Michael Dragovich, et al., and the federal defendants United States Department of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner, United States Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, and Douglas Shulman, and defendants Board of Administration of California Public Employees' Retirement System and Anne Stausboll, through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate that, subject to the Court's approval and availability, the hearing on plaintiffs' motion for class certification be held on Thursday, June 9, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. The parties further stipulate, subject to the Court's approval, that the briefing schedule is:
April 14, 2011: Deadline for Plaintiffs to file motion for class certification
May 12, 2011 Deadline for Defendants' opposition(s)
May 26, 2011 Deadline for Plaintiffs' reply
The reason for the request to change the dates is that the federal defendants' motion to dismiss had been pending with the Court until January 18, 2011. Until the opinion issued, the status of the case and the scope of any class was unclear. Additionally, plaintiffs have drafted and circulated to counsel for defendants a first amended complaint adding two plaintiffs who are registered domestic partners (and are not married). The proceedings will be organized in a more efficient and rational manner if the plaintiffs file their first amended complaint (via motion or stipulation) prior to filing their motion for class certification. So stipulated,
ORDER
It is so ordered.
