WHEREAS, on January 13, 2010, this Court entered an order approving the Joint Stipulation 

and Proposed Order Selecting ADR Process (Dkt. #16), in which the parties agreed to engage in 

private mediation by July 12, 2010; 

WHEREAS, on March 22, 2010, this Court scheduled a telephonic Case Management 

Conference for one week after the ADR deadline, to be held at 1:30 p.m. on July 19, 2010 (Dkt. 

# 20); 

WHEREAS, given the schedule of the mediator selected by the parties and the schedule of 

others who will be involved in the mediation, the Court previously rescheduled the ADR completion 

date to July 26, 2010 and the telephonic status conference to August 2, 2010, at 1:30 p.m.; 

WHEREAS, on June 29, 2010, plaintiff’s counsel disclosed to defendant’s counsel that 

plaintiff intends to seek leave to amend the complaint to add two new additional named plaintiffs to 

the litigation; 

WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred about this development, including 

defendant’s request for fact-finding and discovery (including depositions) with respect to these two 

proposed new plaintiffs prior to mediation, and have agreed as a result of the meet and confer process 

to reschedule the July 26, 2010 mediation to allow for such fact-finding and discovery; 

WHEREAS, after discussing alternative dates for the mediation, the parties have determined 

based on the schedule of the mediator and the schedule of those who will be involved in the 

mediation, that October 6, 2010 is the earliest practicable date that the mediation can occur; 

WHEREAS, to allow for fact-finding and discovery as to the two proposed new plaintiffs, to 

accommodate the schedules of those involved in the mediation, and to allow the parties to proceed 

with their mediator of choice, the parties hereby stipulate and agree as follows, subject to the Court’s 

approval: 

(i) The deadline for the parties to hold a private ADR session is continued to October 6, 

2010;
