Plaintiff Michael Rodman on behalf of himself and the certified Class (“Plaintiff”) and 

Defendant, Safeway Inc. (“Safeway”) stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, the Court entered final judgment on November 30, 2015; 

WHEREAS, the Court has set a case management conference for January 20, 2016 to 

discuss post-judgment proceedings in the case; 

WHEREAS, Defendant intends to seek a stay of execution of the judgment and bill of 

costs, and to appeal from the judgment; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff intends to file a Bill of Costs, a Motion for an Award of Attorneys’ 

Fees, and a Motion for Discovery Sanctions, as well as other potential post-judgment motions; 

WHEREAS, the parties are required to meet and confer prior to any Motions for Sanctions 

and Plaintiff believes that having additional time to do so will facilitate those discussions; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff believes that compliance with the requirement of Local Rule 37-4 

pertaining to motion for sanctions, which requires that Plaintiff itemize with particularity the 

otherwise unnecessary expenses, including attorney fees, directly caused by the alleged violation 

or breach, will require substantial investment of time due to the nature of the sanctions he intends 

to seek; 

WHEREAS, due to the fact that Safeway intends to file a notice of appeal, Plaintiff 

believes it would be premature to file a Motion for an Award of Attorneys’ Fees at this time; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff believes that, given the necessity to meet and confer concerning any 

objections to Plaintiff’s bill of costs under Local Rule 54-2, as well as the potential overlap with 

issues pertinent to Plaintiff’s anticipated Motion for Sanctions, it would be efficient to allow an 

extension of the deadline to file the bill of costs; 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that, due to the above issues as well as the intervening 

holidays before the January 20, 2016 case management conference, it will be beneficial and 

efficient to defer post-judgment deadlines until a further schedule is set at the January 20, 2016 

case management conference;

WHEREAS, the parties are continuing to discuss issues attendant to staying execution of 

the judgment during appeal and any associated motion practice; 

WHEREAS, the parties do not believe an extension of these deadlines will have any 

impact on ultimate resolution of the case; 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to the above-captioned action hereby stipulate and agree 

to the following: 

 The deadlines to file any Motion for Sanctions, Motion for Attorneys’ Fees, Bill of Costs, 

and any other post-judgment motions shall be held in abeyance until the case management 

conference scheduled for January 20, 2016; provided, however, that nothing in this Stipulation and 

Proposed Order shall be construed as modifying or affecting the deadline for Safeway to file a 

notice of appeal from the judgment pursuant to FRAP 4. The parties are continuing to discuss 

issues attendant to staying execution of the judgment during appeal and any associated motion 

practice, and anticipate that they may submit a further stipulation concerning those issues. The 

parties shall set out the tasks that remain to be completed in the case and a schedule for their 

completion (or competing proposed schedules) in their January 13, 2016 joint case management 

statement. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
