BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR FEE MOTION
CASE NOS. 3:14-CV-02346-JCS, 3:14-CV-05337-JCS
Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-1(b), 6-2, and 7-12, the parties in the above-captioned
consolidated actions (the “Action”), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby
stipulate as follows:
WHEREAS, on March 11, 2026, the Court approved the parties’ Stipulation and entered a
schedule for briefing on Plaintiffs’ forthcoming Motion for Attorneys’ Fees, Expenses, and Costs
(the “Motion”), see ECF No. 699 at 4;
WHEREAS, according to the current schedule, Plaintiffs’ Motion is due on May 1, 2026;
UBH’s Opposition to the Motion is due on May 29, 2026; and Plaintiffs’ Reply in support of the
Motion is due on June 26, 2026;
WHEREAS, UBH’s counsel proposed to extend the deadline for UBH’s Opposition
because counsel anticipates requiring more time than provided in the existing schedule to complete
UBH’s Opposition;
WHEREAS, due to unforeseen increases in Plaintiffs’ counsel’s workload because of
recently-imposed deadlines in other matters, Plaintiffs’ counsel also requires additional time to
complete the Motion and supporting materials;
WHEREAS, having met and conferred on the schedule, the parties agree that a brief
extension of the deadlines for Plaintiffs’ Motion, UBH’s Opposition, and Plaintiffs’ Reply is
warranted, as presented below;
WHEREAS, the modestly-extended schedule below will not affect any other deadlines in
the Action;
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that, subject to the approval of the Court,
the following schedule shall apply to briefing on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Attorneys’ Fees, Expenses,
and Costs:
