NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JEFFRY LEVIN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CAVIAR, INC., 

Defendant. 

Case No. 15-cv-01285-EDL 

NOTICE OF INTENT TO DISMISS 

Re: Dkt. No. 50 

 This is a putative wage and hour class action brought by restaurant delivery drivers against 

Caviar, Inc. This Court previously granted a motion to compel arbitration of Plaintiff’s individual 

claims, held that the class action waiver was enforceable but the California Private Attorneys 

General Act of 2004, Cal. Lab.Code, § 2698 et seq. (“PAGA”) waiver was not, and ultimately 

ordered the parties to arbitrate the issue of the arbitrability of the PAGA claims. Dkt. Nos. 43. 

The Court stayed the case pending the arbitrator’s decision on the question of whether Plaintiff’s 

PAGA claim is arbitrable. Dkt. No. 49. 

 On March 24, 2016, the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice of Plaintiff’s 

PAGA claims because they have agreed that another Caviar courier will pursue these claims in 

arbitration. Dkt. No. 50. However, the parties did not ask the Court to either stay or dismiss the 

remainder of the case. This Court has the discretion to stay the case under 9 U.S.C. § 3 or dismiss 

the litigation entirely. See Sparling v. Hoffman Constr. Co., 864 F.2d 635, 638 (9th Cir.1988). 

The Court is inclined to dismiss the entire case with prejudice at this time. If any party objects to
