STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER PURSUANT TO LCR 7(d)(1) TO ALTER CLASS CERTIFICATION SCHEDULE

JAMES L. ROBART, District Judge.

Pursuant to LCR 7(d)(1), Plaintiff Veridian Credit Union ("Veridian") and Defendant Eddie Bauer LLC ("Eddie Bauer"), respectfully move this Honorable Court to alter the class certification schedule.

Pursuant to LCR 23, Veridian is required to file its motion for class certification within 180-days after filing its class action complaint "unless otherwise ordered by the Court." As such, the current deadline for Veridian's class certification motion is September 3, 2017.

Under the current class certification deadline, the parties will have an extremely limited opportunity to conduct discovery prior to Veridian's motion for class certification. Indeed, Eddie Bauer has requested the Court to stay discovery pending the resolution of its motion to dismiss.

The parties discussed the challenges this timeline creates during the scheduling conference with the Court on July 13, 2017. Following the conference, the Court directed the parties "to confer and provide the court with a reasonable class certification schedule. Absent a motion from the parties in the next seven days, the court will enter its Scheduling Order Regarding Class Certification Motion setting a deadline of August 7, 2017, for discovery on class certification, and a deadline of September 7, 2017, to file the motion for class certification." (Dkt. 47).

Pursuant to the Court's July 13, 2017 Minute Entry, the parties have conferred and jointly move the Court to set a deadline of November 30, 2017 for Veridian to file its motion for class certification.

IT IS SO ORDERED. The deadline for plaintiff to file their class certification motion is November 30, 2017. The deadline to complete discovery on class certification is October 30, 2017. This deadline should not be construed as a bifurcation of discovery.
