TO THE HONORABLE COURT AND THE CLERK OF THE COURT: 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiffs Julian Mena, Todd Schreiber, Nate Coolidge and 

Ernesto Mejia (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendants Uber Technologies, Inc. and Rasier, LLC (“Defendants”) 

(collectively with Plaintiffs, the “Parties”) provide this update to inform the Court that they have reached 

a settlement in principle in this case. The Parties are working on a Stipulation of Settlement with the 

goal of filing it along with a motion for preliminary approval before the end of 2015. As a result, the 

Parties respectfully request this Court to vacate Defendants’ Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending 

Arbitration (Dkt. #25), currently scheduled to be heard on December 17, 2015. 

By and through their respective counsel of record, the Parties hereby stipulate and request that 

the Court enter an Order as follows: 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs commenced this action on December 23, 2014 [Dkt. #1]; 

WHEREAS, on March 20, 2015, Defendants filed a Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending 

Arbitration [Dkt. #25]; 

WHEREAS, this Court granted the Parties’ Joint Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Updating the 

Court on Settlement Discussions and Requesting Extension of Temporary Stay on November 16, 2015 

[Dkt. 61]; 

WHEREAS, the hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending Arbitration is 

currently scheduled for December 17, 2015; 

WHEREAS, a Combined Case Management Conference is currently scheduled for January 25, 

2016 [Dkt. # 62]; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have reached a settlement in principle in this matter and are drafting a 

Stipulation of Settlement, with the goal of filing said Stipulation along with a motion for preliminary 

approval by the end of 2015; 

WHEREAS, no scheduling order has been entered and no trial date has been set for this case and 

the parties believe that the granting of the herein requested continuances will not have any effect on the 

schedule for the case;
