Joint Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to Continue

Deadline for Joint Motion to Transfer and CMC

Case No. 14-CV-05563-EMC

STIPULATION

WHEREAS, on March 9, 2016, the parties filed a Notice of Settlement and Request to

Vacate all Dates on Calendar (ECF No. 124), informing the Court that they have reached an

agreement in principle to resolve the claims of the Plaintiffs and the putative class as part of a

settlement of the following other cases: Devries v. Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, No. 12 Civ.

81223 (S.D. Fla); Hix v. Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, No. 15 Civ. 1157 (D. Md.); and Johnson v.

Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, No. 15 Civ. 4856 (S.D.N.Y.) (“Notice of Settlement”);

WHEREAS, the Notice of Settlement informed that Court that the terms of the settlement,

agreed to by the parties, call for the settlement to be memorialized in a comprehensive settlement

stipulation and for the parties to move to transfer this case (as well as the Hix and Johnson

actions) to the Southern District of Florida to be joined with Devries before Judge Marra for

purposes of seeking approval of the settlement;

WHEREAS, the Notice of Settlement stated that the parties would finalize a formal

settlement stipulation and submit a joint motion to transfer no later than April 11, 2016;

WHEREAS, on March 15, 2016, the Court stamped the last page of the Notice of

Settlement, “it is so ordered as modified” and inserted the following language: “IT IS SO

ORDERED that the further CMC is reset from 3/23/16 to 5/5/16 at 10:30 a.m. An updated joint

CMC statement shall be filed by 4/28/16.” (ECF No. 125);

WHEREAS, the parties have diligently been working to prepare the settlement stipulation

and other required submissions, including the joint motion to transfer in this matter as well as in

the Hix and Johnson matters; and

WHEREAS, given the ongoing efforts to negotiate the settlement stipulation in these

matters, the parties require additional time to submit a joint motion to transfer.

ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE to continue the

deadline to file a joint motion to transfer to May 11, 2016 to continue the CMC currently

scheduled for Thursday, May 5, 2016 to Thursday, June 30, 2016. The Parties agree to submit an

updated Joint Case Management Statement seven days before the rescheduled CMC date.
