WHEREAS, Plaintiff also wishes to add two additional causes of action that derive from the 

core factual allegations in this matter; namely, Defendant Pier 1 Imports (U.S.), Inc.’s “Call-In,” or 

“Flex Shift” scheduling policy; 

WHEREAS, because Defendants have filed an answer in this matter, Plaintiff may no 

longer amend her complaint as a matter of right; and

WHEREAS, the parties agree that placing all potential claims relating to Defendant Pier 1 

Imports (U.S.), Inc.’s “Call-In” or “Flex Shift” scheduling policy at issue at this time would result 

in the most efficient use of the Court’s and parties’ resources, and would maintain judicial 

efficiency.

THEREFORE, the parties, through their respective counsel of record, stipulate that:

(a) Plaintiff will file the First Amended Complaint, attached hereto as Exhibit A, within 

seven (7) days of an order granting this Stipulation; and

(b) Defendants will have twenty-eight (28) days from the date Plaintiff files her First 

Amended Complaint to file their responsive pleading. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
