Pursuant to Local Rules 7(d)(1) and 10(g), Lead Plaintiff Jeremy Jaeger, together with
18 Defendants Zillow Group, Inc., Richard Barton, Allen Parker, and Jeremy Wacksman (the
19 “Parties”), respectfully request that this Court alter certain case deadlines set in the Minute Order
20 dated February 19, 2026 (Dkt. 157). As discussed herein, good cause exists to alter the case
21 schedule.
22 The Parties stipulate as follows:
23 On February 6, 2023, the Parties submitted a Joint Status Report and Discovery Plan (Dkt.
24 106), which set forth a proposed schedule in this case.
25 On July 7, 2023, the Court issued a Minute Order setting case deadlines (Dkt. 108), which,
26 among other things, granted the Parties, sua sponte, additional time for several case
27 events/deadlines in comparison to the proposed schedule the Parties submitted to the Court.

1 On December 20, 2023, the Court issued an Order Granting Stipulated Motion to Amend
2 Scheduling Order, granting the Parties’ stipulation to change certain discovery deadlines. Dkt. 112.
3 On June 5, 2024, the Court issued an Order Granting Stipulated Motion to Amend
4 Scheduling Order, granting the Parties’ stipulation to change certain discovery deadlines. Dkt. 120.
5 On September 30, 2024, the Court issued a Minute Order granting the Parties’ Stipulated
Motion to Amend the Scheduling Order by four months to resolve certain production issues.
6
Dkt. 145.
7
On October 24, 2024, the Ninth Circuit granted Zillow’s 23(f) Petition (Dkt. 147) and the
8
Court entered a Minute Order on November 1, 2024, staying the case pending the resolution of
9
Zillow’s Petition (Dkt. 149).
10
On September 26, 2025, the Ninth Circuit entered its opinion affirming the certification of
11
the class. Dkt. 151. Zillow then sought a rehearing and en banc consideration, which was
12
unanimously denied in January 2026. The mandate was returned to the district court on January
13
14, 2026. Dkt. 155.
14
On February 19, 2026, the Court entered a Minute Order setting the current case schedule,
15 Dkt. 157, as reflected in the Parties’ Joint Status Report, Dkt. 156.
16 On June 2, 2026, the Court granted the Parties’ Stipulated Motion on the Approval of Class
17 Notice. Dkt. 159.
18 On June 5, 2026, Zillow filed a petition for writ of certiorari at the Supreme Court of the
19 United States. Plaintiff filed a waiver of the right of respondent to file a response soon thereafter.
20 On June 17, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States distributed Zillow’s petition for
21 writ of certiorari for the September 28, 2026 conference.
22 On June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States requested a response from
23 Plaintiff, with a due date of July 27, 2026.
The Parties agree and jointly contend that they have met all previous case deadlines and
24
have been litigating this case in a diligent and cooperative manner. Plaintiff has already taken
25
eleven depositions, with another five scheduled to take place over the summer. However, due to
26
the recent request for a response from the Supreme Court of the United States, along with some

1 difficulties with scheduling certain Executive Defendant depositions in September and October,
2 the Parties have agreed to extend the case schedule for approximately three months.
3 The Parties have also been diligently working with the notice administrator on class notice
4 and are prepared to distribute the class notice on the July 2, 2026 deadline. However, the Parties
5 agree that postponing class notice until after the petition for writ of certiorari is resolved will
minimize confusion to class members and reduce costs should the notice be amended due to any
6
developments with Zillow’s petition for writ of certiorari.
7
The Parties acknowledge that the proposed schedule continues the pre-trial and trial dates
8
originally set in the July 7, 2023 Minute Order, then amended in the December 20, 2023, June 5,
9
2024, September 30, 2024, and February 19, 2026 Minute Orders. However, as explained more
10
fully above, the Parties jointly contend that there is good cause for adjusting the pre-trial and trial
11
dates and that doing so will likely conserve litigation resources expended both by the Parties and
12
the Court.
13
Accordingly, the Parties, subject to approval of the Court, stipulate and agree that good
14
cause exists to request the following proposed case schedule modifications:
