Case Assigned to the Honorable Andrew Y.S. Cheng,

“Fe
STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDERYA WF WN HY

.

WHEREAS, the Court has set a September 11, 2023 trial date for the second bellwether case in
this coordinated proceeding;

WHEREAS, the Court ordered that the parties submit “a proposed stipulation and order
regarding all key dates based on the September 11, 2023 trial date”;

WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred regarding pre-trial deadlines; and

WHEREAS, the parties stipulated to and the Court continued the parties’ deadline to submit that
stipulation and proposed order to January 6, 2023 to permit them an opportunity to complete their meet-
and-confer discussions.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AS FOLLOWS:

The parties request that the Court enter an order setting forth the following pretrial deadlines:

Event : . ___ Proposed Date

Beginning Date for Plaintiff-Specific Fact Depositions! May 31, 2023

Beginning Date for Depositions of Plaintiff-Specific Experts in

Second Bellwether Case June 21, 2023

Deadline to File Motion for Summary Judgment in Second

Bellwether Case July 10, 2023

Beginning Date for Depositions of Company-Related Experts July 17, 2023

Deadline to File Opposition to Summary-Judgment Motion in

Second Bellwether Case July 31, 2023

Deadline for Completion of Plaintiff-Specific Fact Depositions

and, thus, Close of all Plaintiff-Specific Fact Discovery August 4, 2023

Deadline to File Summary-Judgment Reply in Second

Bellwether Case August 16, 2023

| The parties agree that should the case currently set for the first bellwether trial be resolved
before the trial date, they will need to revisit the schedule set forth here. The parties also agree that they
may want to take one or more fact depositions specific to the second bellwether case before the
beginning date for plaintiff-specific fact depositions, and they agree to discuss in good faith—but in
recognition of the demands caused by the first bellwether trial—whether and when the deposition can
occur. For the avoidance of doubt, neither party is waiving its right to argue that a particular deposition
should occur before May 31, 2023, and the parties will submit any dispute regarding depositions to the
Discovery Referee.
