Plaintiffs, vs. Uber Technologies, Inc.; Rasier, LLC; and Rasier-CA, LLC, ) Defendants. ) ) Plaintiffs have requested a slight modification of the Consolidated Joint Case Management Schedule, to which Defendants have agreed subject to Court approval. Specifically, this Stipulation seeks modification of the Consolidated Joint Case Management Schedule to extend the deadline for Plaintiffs to take the deposition of Defendants’ Rule 30(b)(6) corporate designee on Uber’s financial statements, and to exchange opening and rebuttal expert reports on causation and damages, with depositions of these experts to follow the exchange. No other discovery deadlines are affected by this Stipulation (including the expert discovery deadlines for all other experts), nor is the trial date or pretrial conference date affected by this Stipulation. The parties submit this Stipulation pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-12 and Federal Rule of Civil 16(b)(4). The parties stipulate as follows:

WHEREAS, on March 18, 2015, Plaintiffs commenced this action. (Dkt. No 1). WHEREAS, on January 25, 2016, the Court consolidated this matter with Rosen v. Uber
Technologies, Inc ., 3:15-cv-03866-JST (“ Rosen ”) for purposes of discovery. (Dkt. No. 74). WHEREAS, on February 8, 2016, this Court entered a Consolidated Joint Case Management Schedule (Dkt. No. 79), which sets forth the following deadlines pertinent to this Stipulation: (1) the fact discovery cut-off is November 11, 2016; (2) designation and opening reports of experts are due November 18, 2016; (3) the designation and reports of rebuttal experts are due January 13, 2017; (4) and the expert discovery cut-off is February 10, 2017. Trial in the matter is scheduled to commence on July 24, 2017.
WHEREAS, on November 7, 2016, the parties filed a letter brief with Magistrate Judge Ryu regarding a dispute over the production of Uber’s financial information. (Dkt. 100) (“Joint Letter Brief”).
WHEREAS a Magistrate Judge Ryu has not yet rendered a decision on the parties’ Joint Letter Brief. WHEREAS twenty five depositions have been taken in this matter, including the deposition of Uber’s 30(b)(6) witness on all topics other than Defendants’ financial statements. WHEREAS Plaintiffs maintain that a modification of the Scheduling Order is necessary so that Plaintiffs may take a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of Defendants’ corporate designee on Defendants’ financial statements after the Court rules on the parties’ Joint Letter Brief. A further modification is necessary to allow Plaintiffs to submit their expert report on damages, which will be based in part on Defendants’ financial information, after the deadline to exchange expert reports and to give Defendants time to respond to this report accordingly.
WHEREAS the following stipulation applies only to the present matter only and does not affect the calendar or the Court’s order regarding scheduling in Rosen . WHEREAS, for the reasons stated in this Stipulation, good cause exists to modify the Joint Case Management Schedule. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, by and through their respective attorneys, stipulate and agree that, subject to Court approval, the Consolidated Joint Case Management Schedule should be modified as follows:
If Magistrate Judge Ryu rules in favor of Plaintiffs with respect to the Joint Letter Brief, the following schedule will apply: (a) Within five court days of Defendants’ production of financial information pursuant to Magistrate Judge Ryu’s order, Plaintiffs will take the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of Defendants’ corporate designee regarding Uber’s financial statements, or, if the designee is not available within those five court days, the first date available thereafter. (b) Within fourteen calendar days of the deposition, Plaintiffs will submit their expert report on causation and damages. (c) Defendants will then have eight weeks from the date of receipt of Plaintiffs’ damages report to disclose Defendants’ rebuttal expert(s) and serve expert reports on causation and damages (which is the current period set forth in the Case Management Schedule between the date of service of opening reports and the date of service of rebuttal reports). Plaintiffs agree that no causation or damages expert report is necessary from Defendants other than a rebuttal report.
If Magistrate Judge Ryu rules in favor of Defendants with respect to the Joint Letter Brief, the following schedule will apply: (a) Within five court days of Magistrate Judge Ryu’s ruling, Plaintiffs will take the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of Defendants’ corporate designee regarding Uber’s financial statements, or, if the designee is not available within those five court days, the first date available thereafter. (b) Within fourteen calendar days of the deposition, Plaintiffs will submit their expert report on causation and damages. (c) Defendants will then have eight weeks from the date of receipt of Plaintiffs’ damages report to disclose Defendants’ rebuttal expert(s) and serve expert reports on causation and damages (which is the current period set forth in the Case Management Schedule between the date of service of opening reports and the date of service of rebuttal reports). Plaintiffs agree that no causation or damages expert report is necessary from Defendants other than a rebuttal report.
This Stipulation does not affect the deadline to designate and exchange reports of any other experts. If any of the modifications above require an additional modification of the February 10, 2017 expert discovery cut-off (such as the depositions of the causation and damages experts), the parties will meet and confer and propose a reasonable extension subject to Court approval. No other dates in the Consolidated Joint Case Management Schedule (Dkt. No. 79) are affected by this Stipulation.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
