JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE MEDIATION 

DEADLINE AND CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

3:13-cv-05016-JST

THARPE & HOWELL, LLP

15250 Ventura Boulevard, Ninth Floor

Sherman Oaks, California 91403-3221

I. INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-1, 6-2 and 17-2, the undersigned counsels

hereby jointly request an order changing time for the purpose of conserving the time 

and resources of the Court and the Parties. In particular, the deadline to complete 

mediation in this matter is currently set for April 15, 2015 and the Case Management 

Conference (“CMC”) is currently set for April 22, at 2:00 p.m. The Parties request 

that the deadline to complete mediation be continued to April 22, 2015 and the CMC 

be continued to April 29, 2015, at 2:00 p.m.

II. THE REQUESTED ORDER TO CHANGE TIME IS APPROPRIATE 

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a)(1), Parties filing a stipulation requesting an 

order changing time that would affect the date of an event already fixed by Court 

order must (1) set forth with particularity the reasons for the requested change, (2) 

disclose all previous time modifications in the case, whether by stipulation or Court 

order, and (3) describe the effect that the requested time modification would have on 

the schedule for the case.

A. Reasons for the Requested Relief

The reason for the requested order is to promote efficiency and to conserve the 

time and resources of the Court as well as the Parties. The reason for the requested 

continuance of the deadline to complete mediation, is for the reason that the mediator 

selected by the Parties, Gig Kyriacou, a highly regarded mediator for complex 

employment-related disputes, such as in this case, is not available until April 22, 

2015, and the parties have scheduled a mediation with him on that date. 

Additionally, the Court originally scheduled the next CMC for April 15, 2015 as it 

was originally anticipated that mediation would be completed by then. The Parties

believe that for the sake of efficiency and convenience of the Court, the CMC would 

be more constructive after the mediation has been completed. Therefore, the Parties

request the CMC to be continued to April 29, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. to allow the Parties

to complete mediation prior to the CMC.

Sherman Oaks, California 91403-3221

B. Previous Time Modifications

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a)(2), the Parties disclose that the previous time 

modifications in this case have been: (1) continuing the Initial Case Management 

Conference from January 28, 2014 to February 12, 2014 due to judicial reassignment

[ECF Doc. No. 10]; (2) continuing the Further Case Management Conference from 

September 10, 2014, to September 17, 2014 upon the Court’s own request [ECF 

Doc. No. 34]; (3) continuing the Further Case Management Conference by one day 

from September 17, 2014 to September 18, 2014 pursuant to Stipulation and Order

[ECF Doc. No. 52]; and (4) continuing the deadline of August 22, 2014 to participate 

in mediation to 45 days after the last date for putative class members to opt-in to the 

FLSA collective action pursuant to Ex Parte Application and Order [ECF Doc. No. 

51].

C. Effect on Case Schedule 

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a)(3), the requested time modification would have 

minimal or no effect on the case schedule other than fostering efficiency and 

convenience for the Court and the Parties. No other dates on the case schedule 

would be affected by the requested modification.

III. STIPULATION

Plaintiff MICHAEL DEATRICK and Defendant SECURITAS SECURITY 

SERVICES USA, INC., by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate to 

continue the deadline to complete mediation currently set for April 15, 2015 to April 

22, 2015, for the reason that the mediator, selected by the Parties, is not available 

until April 22, 2015, and the parties have scheduled a mediation with him on that 

date. Also, the Parties hereby stipulate to continue the CMC from April 15, 2015, at 

2:00 p.m. to April 29, 2015, at 2:00 p.m., so that the Parties may complete mediation 

prior to the CMC.
