`
`
`
`Plaintiffs Gary Yaghyazarian and Elena Thormahlen and Defendants
`
`Progressive Direct Insurance Company and Progressive Northern Insurance Company
`
`jointly move to modify the Amended Case Management Order entered by this Court
`
`on June 16, 2023 [D.E. 62], and state as follows:
`
`1.
`
`District courts have inherent power to control their own dockets.
`
`Hamilton Copper & Stell Corp. v. Primary Steel, Inc., 898 F.2d 1428, 1429 (9th Cir.
`
`1990).
`
`2.
`
`This case is one of 35 related class actions Progressive and its affiliates
`
`challenging the calculation of the Projected Sold Adjustment (“PSA”) in valuing
`
`total-loss claims (the “PSA Cases”). King & Spalding LLP represents the defendants
`
`in all the PSA Cases, and Shamis & Gentile P.A., Edelsberg Law P.A., Normand
`
`PLLC, and Carney Bates & Pulliam represent nearly all plaintiffs in the PSA Cases.
`
`3.
`
`On June 16, 2023, this Court granted the Parties’ Motion to Amend the
`
`Case Management Order to allow sufficient time for the voluminous and time-
`
`intensive document production of a sample of 150 claim files Plaintiffs requested
`
`from Defendants and to conduct depositions. The Amended Case Management Order
`
`extended, inter alia, the deadline for Plaintiffs’ to file their Motion for Class
`
`Certification and serve their Expert Disclosures to December 7, 2023. Id.
`
`4.
`
`The Parties have been diligently working to meet the deadlines
`
`transcribed in the Amended Case Management Order, however, Plaintiffs’ require

`
`
`
`additional time to review and analyze the 150 sample claim files Defendants
`
`produced, confer with experts, and to file their Motion for Class Certification.
`
`5.
`
`By this Motion, the Parties respectfully seek a 55-day extension of the
`
`deadline for Plaintiffs’ to file their Motion for Class Certification and serve their
`
`Expert Disclosures.
`
`6.
`
`Accordingly, to allow the same amount of time as the Case Management
`
`order allotted, the Parties also respectfully request a 55-day extension to the other
`
`deadlines below.
`
`7.
`
`Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b) permits a court to grant an
`
`extension of time for good cause and, “like all the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
`
`‘[is] to be liberally construed to effectuate the general purpose of seeing that cases
`
`are tried on the merits.” Ahanchian v. Xenon Pictures, Inc., 624 F.3d 1254, 1258-59
`
`(9th Cir. 2010) (quoting Rodgers v. Watt, 722 F.2d 456, 459 (9th Cir.1983)).
`
`Consequently, requests for extensions of time made before the applicable deadline
`
`has passed should ‘normally … be granted in the absence of bad faith on the part of
`
`the party seeking relief or prejudice to the adverse party.” Id. (quoting 4B Charles
`
`Alan Wright & Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 1165 (3d ed.
`
`2004)).
`
`8.
`
`Further, “Plaintiff[s’] request for an extension of less than two months
`
`…is
`
`reasonable.” Godinez
`
`v.
`
`L. Offs.
`
`of Clark Garen, No.

`
`
`SACV1600828CJCDFMX, 2016 WL 4527512, at *2 (C.D. Cal. Aug. 30, 2016)
`
`9.
`
`Thus, the Parties request that the Court amend the case management
`
`order to set new deadlines for expert reports and class certification briefing.
`
`10.
`
` The Parties have worked diligently to meet all deadlines set by the
`
`scheduling order, and have made significant strides, including the completion of fact
`
`discovery and depositions. However, due to the demands of the other PSA Cases,
`
`accounting for the travel schedules of Counsel and Plaintiffs’ experts during the
`
`holiday season, and the multitude of discovery that still needs to be reviewed, the
`
`Parties respectfully request a slight modification to the Amended Case Management
`
`Order.
`
`11. For the reasons discussed above, good cause exists for modifying the
`
`Amended Case Management Order.
`
`12. This Motion is made in good faith, not for delay or any dilatory tactic,
`
`and no party will be unduly prejudiced or harmed by the grant of this Motion.
`
` WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs and Defendants respectfully request the following
`
`modifications detailed below:
