Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, et al., S.D.N.Y. Case 1:20-cv-07114-JGK Dear Judge Koeltl: On behalf of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) in the above-referenced matter, we respectfully move to stay class discovery, for good cause and with the consent of Plaintiff, pending the Court’s ruling on Deloitte’s Motion to Strike Plaintiff's Class Allegations (“Motion”), Dkt. No. 16.! Whether good cause exists for such a stay turns on (1) whether “there is a strong showing that the plaintiff's claim is unmeritorious;” (2) “the burden of responding to [discovery], and (3) “the risk of unfair prejudice to the party opposing the stay.” 7rs. of NYC Dist. Council of Carpenters Pension Fund v. Showtime on Piers LLC,

, at *1—-2 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 19, 2019). Based on these factors, class discovery should be stayed pending resolution of the Motion. Deloitte has made the strong showing required, see, e.g.,

(“strong showing” possible where motion “‘is potentially dispositive, and appears to be not unfounded in the law”), class discovery would be burdensome and expensive, involving many of Deloitte’s employees and nationwide practices, and Plaintiff does not argue that she would be prejudiced. Therefore, Deloitte respectfully moves to stay class discovery pending resolution of its Motion. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Jit £. Rosenberg Jill L.
