WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a) of the Civil Local Rules for the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, the parties "may file a stipulation, conforming to Civil L.R. 7-12, requesting an order changing time that would affect the date of an event or deadline already fixed by Court order;"

WHEREAS, document discovery, including documents obtained from third parties, has taken longer than expected given the breadth of discovery pertinent to this action and the extended negotiations between the parties over the scope of production;1

WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred and agree that it is now in their mutual interest and in the interest of judicial efficiency to extend the discovery cutoff deadlines previously ordered by the Court;

WHEREAS, this requested extension will not affect the date for oral argument on Lead Plaintiffs' motion for class certification;
