SUSAN ILLSTON, Magistrate Judge.
The undersigned counsel, on behalf of Plaintiffs Charles Ridgeway, Jaime Famoso, Joshua Harold, Richard Byers, Dan Thatcher, Nino Pagtama, Willie Franklin, Tim Opitz, Farris Day, Karl Merhoff, and Micheal Krohn ("Plaintiffs") and Defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. ("Wal-Mart," and collectively, with Plaintiffs, the "Parties"), hereby stipulate as follows:
WHEREAS the Court has set pre-trial deadlines in its Second Pretrial Preparation Order (Dkt. No. 213) and had previously set deadlines in its Pretrial Preparation Order (Dkt. No. 174);
WHEREAS the parties have worked diligently to resolve discovery and deposition issues in the timing provided by that Order;
WHEREAS Plaintiffs' counsel are currently in the midst of a three month class action trial in another lawsuit that will affect the parties' ability to complete agreed upon discovery and depositions as scheduled, particularly given the time constraints of the coming retail blackout holiday period where many Wal-Mart employees will be unavailable because of business constraints; and
WHEREAS the parties believe they have identified the remaining discovery to be completed and believe the new deadlines will allow an orderly completion of the same.
Accordingly, the parties now jointly stipulate and respectfully request that this Court order the following changes to the existing schedule:
Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a), the declarations of Daniel M. Kopfman and Jesse A. Cripps in support of this stipulation are filed herewith.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
Pursuant to the above stipulation, the Stipulation and Order regarding the case management schedule is approved.
