 2. Plaintiff’s employment at Defendants’ market ended in early October 2007. 

 3. Plaintiff subsequently filed a complaint in this Court alleging that Defendants 

failed to pay Plaintiff overtime wages owed to Plaintiff by Defendants. Plaintiff’s complaint 

seeks payment of overtime wages owed under applicable state and federal laws, along with 

associated penalties, interest, fees and costs. 

 4. Defendants deny that Defendants owe Plaintiff any overtime wages, alleging that 

Plaintiff was a salaried employee and thus exempt under applicable state and federal laws from 

payment of overtime wages. 

 5. Counsel for Plaintiff and counsel for Defendants have met and conferred 

regarding possible ADR procedures. On behalf of their clients, they have agreed, subject to the 

Court’s approval, to (a) submit this dispute to private mediation before the Hon. Laurence D. Kay 

(Ret.) of ADR Services, Inc., in San Francisco, California, on or before May 16, 2008, and (b) 

postpone to Friday, May 23, 2008 the Initial Case Management Conference in this matter that is 

currently scheduled for March 28, 2008. 

 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff and Defendants respectfully request that the Court -- 

 1. Postpone to Friday, May 23, 2008, the Initial Case Management Conference in 

this matter that is currently scheduled for March 28, 2008. 

 2. Order the parties to submit this dispute to private mediation before the Hon. 

Laurence D. Kay (Ret.) of ADR Services, Inc., in San Francisco, California, on or before May 

16, 2008. 

 3. Make such further orders that it deems proper.
