STIPULATION AND ORDER GRANTING CONTINUANCE OF CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCES, HEARING DATES, AND BRIEFING DEADLINES Proposed 1 ORDER GRANTING CONTINUANCE OF CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCES, HEARING DATES, AND BRIEFING DEADLINES

WILLIAM H. ORRICK, District Judge.

Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7-7(a), it is stipulated between Plaintiffs Judith Janney, Amy McKendrick, Sean Bohac, and Gabriel Rojas ("Plaintiffs") and Defendant General Mills, Inc. ("Defendant"), by their respective attorneys:

1. On July 23, 2013, Defendant filed a Motion to Stay Proceedings ("Motion to Stay") in two of the above-captioned related actions (Doc. 66 in Janney; Doc. 28 in Bohac). The hearings on Defendant's Motions to Stay are currently set for September 4, 2013, at 2:00 p.m.

2. On July 29, 2013, the Court that the Janney, Bohac, and Rojas matters be related. The matters are referred to collectively herein as the "Actions."

3. A fully briefed Motion to Dismiss is pending in Rojas (Doc. No. 27 in Rojas). Pursuant to the Court's July 31, 2013, Order Reassigning Case (Doc. 43 in Rojas), the parties have been ordered to re-notice the hearing date for the Rojas Motion to Dismiss on this Court's calendar.

4. The Case Management Conferences in the Janney and Bohac Actions are currently set for August 20, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.

5. The parties propose to consolidate the Case Management Conferences with the hearings on the Motions to Stay in Janney and Bohac, to consolidate the hearing date of the Motion to Dismiss in Rojas with the Motions to Stay in Janney and Bohac, and to extend briefing deadlines for the Motions to Stay in Janney and Bohac.

6. Good cause exists to extend the date for hearing Defendant's Motions to Stay because both of the undersigned lead counsel for Plaintiffs are on family vacations on September 4, 2013, and unable to attend the hearing on that date. In addition, consolidation of the Case Management Conferences and the Motion hearings will conserve judicial resources because they are currently scheduled just two weeks apart and the schedule set at the Case Management Conferences may be affected by the Court's ruling on the Motion to Stay. There will be further conservation of judicial resources in consolidating the hearings on the Motions to Stay with the hearing on the Motion to Dismiss, as all three motions present similar issues. The parties also propose that the Court permit them additional time to complete briefing on the Motions to Stay.

7. Accordingly, the parties stipulate and request that the Court consolidate and reschedule the Case Management Conferences with the hearings on Defendant's Motion to Stay, and the hearing on Defendant's Motion to Dismiss for October 2, 2013, at 2:00 p.m., and permit Plaintiffs to file their opposition to Defendant's Motion to Stay by August 29, 2013, and Defendant to file its reply in support of its Motion by September 12, 2013.

8. There have been no previous time modifications in the Actions.

9. Other than moving the Case Management Conferences and Motions to Stay hearing dates, the requested extension would have no other effect on any dates set in the Actions.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
