JOINT STIPULATION TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT DEADLINES AND ORDER
HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR., District Judge.
The parties jointly stipulate to continue the case management deadlines currently set in this case in order to coordinate discovery with the related case, Pallagrosi v. Gap, Inc. et al., Case No. 4:17-cv-05905-HSG. On January 23, 2018, counsel for Plaintiff and the Gap Defendants appeared before this Court for the Initial Case Management Conference in Pallagrosi. At the conference, counsel proposed a new case management schedule so that the schedule in this case would coordinate with discovery in Pallagrosi. While Munning and Pallagrosi are on behalf of two different classes of purchasers, both cases involve the Gap Defendants' alleged sales practices in the marketing of its merchandise. The parties filed a proposed scheduling order in Pallagrosi on January 30, 2018. See Pallagrosi Dkt. 30. As the parties explained at the conference, many of the documents produced in the two cases by both parties will overlap. In addition, the majority of witnesses to be deposed probably will overlap as well. For this reason, the parties proposed to this Court the intention to have the two cases be coordinated so discovery may track consistently. This will permit the parties to be more efficient and cost effective in the two cases.
The parties propose the same schedule as requested in Pallagrosi:
• Fact discovery cutoff
o The parties propose that all fact discovery will be completed by June 29, 2018.
• Expert disclosures
o The parties shall provide initial expert disclosures on July 27, 2018 and rebuttal expert disclosures on August 24, 2018. Expert discovery shall be completed by September 7, 2018, including expert depositions.
• L/D to file motion to class certification
• Plaintiff shall move for class certification in Munning on or before October 5, 2018. Defendants shall have 30 days to file their brief in opposition to class certification and Plaintiff shall have 15 days to file her reply brief in support of class certification. The Class Certification hearing shall be on or after December 6, 2018.
• Plaintiffs shall move for class certification in Pallagrosi on or before December 28, 2018. Defendants shall have 30 days to file their brief in opposition to class certification and Plaintiff shall have 15 days to file her reply brief in support of class certification. The Class Certification hearing shall be on or after February 28, 2019.
SO STIPULATED.
