IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANNE MARIE LYON,

Plaintiff,

 v.

W. W. GRAINGER, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 10-00884 WHA

ORDER REGARDING

STIPULATION FOR DISMISSAL

The parties have stipulated to dismissal of this action. As this purports to be a class

action, however, any stipulated form of dismissal must be reviewed by the Court.

There is a discrepancy between the clause in the stipulation for dismissal that states,

“WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that each side shall bear its own costs in this matter and

that no consideration has or will be provided to Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s counsel as any part of the

dismissal;” and the clause in the proposed notice to potential class members that states,

“Plaintiff has not and will not receive any monetary or other compensation of any kind

dismissing the action [sic].” Counsel for both sides must file a definitive statement under oath

specifying that no compensation has or will be provided in any form in connection with this

case. They must disavow any side payments or compensation of any type. A hearing may be

required in which case the Court may possibly require counsel to testify under oath. The parties

shall clarify who shall bear the cost of the notice and whether any reimbursement for the cost of

the notice is contemplated. Counsel shall provide the Court with all agreements between the

parties related to this case. These responses are due on JANUARY 10, 2011, AT NOON.
