The parties, through their respective counsel, hereby make the following stipulations and 

request. 

WHEREAS, on December 11, 2014 this Court entered a Case Management Minute Order 

in which the parties were ordered to complete mediation by April 30, 2015 and Plaintiffs were 

allowed to take three depositions and Defendant ESA Management (“ESA”) were allowed to take 

seven depositions prior to mediation. 

WHEREAS, the parties have worked diligently to complete a first round of written 

discovery in preparation for the pre-mediation depositions; 

WHEREAS ESA has completed three of the seven depositions permitted prior to the 

mediation and have scheduled the remaining four to take place by the end of March 2015. 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs are anticipating deposing two defense witnesses in April 2015, after 

they receive further production of documents from ESA. 

WHEREAS, the parties have had difficulties scheduling a mediation to take place on or 

before April 30, 2015 due to a variety of circumstances, including mediator availability, counsel 

travel plans, arrangements to have one plaintiff return from out-of-state to sit for his deposition in 

San Francisco, and coordinating the availability of the parties (including all seven plaintiffs, six of 

whom are former employees of ESA and one who is expecting a baby in mid-April). 

WHEREAS, after seeking appropriate dates from three different mediators, the parties have 

now scheduled mediation with David Rotman on May 12, 2015. 

Based upon these stipulations, the parties respectfully request the Court modify its previous 

Case Management Minute Order to allow the parties until May 26, 2015 to complete mediation in 

this matter. 

The parties also respectfully request that the Court reschedule the Further Case 

Management Conference, currently on calendar for May 14, 2015, to a date after the scheduled 

mediation.
