WHEREAS, Defendants Service Employees International Union and Service 

Employees International Union, Local 1000 (hereinafter “Defendants”) filed a Motion to 

Dismiss for Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction and for Judgment on the Pleadings on 

Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint, Docket No. 42-1, on January 24, 2020;

WHEREAS, Defendants’ pending motion was noticed for hearing on March 9, 

2020;

WHEREAS, under the current briefing schedule, Plaintiffs’ opposition to 

Defendants’ motion is due on February 24, and Defendants’ reply is due on March 2;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ counsel has prior litigation commitments that will prevent 

them from filing their opposition to the pending motion under the current briefing 

schedule; and

WHEREAS, the undersigned parties agree that oral argument on the pending 

motion is unnecessary, unless it is desired by the Court;

THEREFORE, the undersigned parties hereby stipulate and agree as follows, 

subject to the Court’s approval:

1. The current briefing schedule on the motion, and the hearing date of March 

9, should be vacated;

2. The briefing schedule should be re-set so that Plaintiffs’ opposition shall be 

due on May 11, 2020, and Defendants’ reply shall be due on June 8, 2020;

3. No hearing should be scheduled on the motion, which should be submitted 

on the papers, unless the Court wishes to hear oral argument; and

4. Plaintiff shall not commence discovery in advance of the motion being 

resolved but reserve their right to argue in opposing the motion that the motion should be 

denied and they should be permitted to take discovery on the issues raised by 

Defendants’ good faith defense.

The foregoing is so stipulated and agreed.
