[ORDER 

Plaintiff Joshua Wright ("Plaintiff') and Defendants Frontier Management LLC, Frontie 

Senior Living, LLC, and GH Senior Living, LLC dba Greenhaven Estates Assisted Living 

(collectively, "Defendants") (Plaintiff and Defendants are collectively referred to as the "Parties"), 

have stipulated to conditionally certify as a FLSA collective action, pursuant to 29 U.S.C. §§ 201 e 

seq., the following Collective: 

All current and former hourly, non-exempt employees of Frontier 

Management LLC, Frontier Senior Living, LLC, and GH Senior Living, 

LLC dba Greenhaven Estates Assisted Living, in the United States after 

[DA TE (three years prior to date of filing of stipulated motion for 

conditional certification)]. 

Plaintiff alleges that Defendants violated the FLSA with respect to Plaintiff and the putative 

Collective by, inter alia, failing to compensate Plaintiff and the Collective for all hours worked and, 

with respect to such hours, failing to pay the legally mandated overtime premium for such wor 

and/or minimum wage. 

Having considered the Parties' Stipulation, the allegations in Plaintifrs Complaint, and give 

the low threshold for conditional certification under Section 2 l 6(b) of the FLSA, see Ramirez v. 

Ghilotti Bros. Inc., 941 F. Supp. 2d 1197, 1203 (N.D. Cal. 2013), Plaintiff has met the lenien 

standard at this stage for conditional certification and for this Court to facilitate notice to proposed 

Collective members pursuant to the FLSA. 

The decision by Defendants not to oppose conditional certification does not constitute a 

admission that the named Plaintiff meets the conditions necessary for certification of a FLS 

collective action. Defendants retain the right to move to decertify the Collective action, oppose any 

request by Plaintiff for final certification of this Collective action, or otherwise oppose the claims 

presented. However, at this time, the Court has determined Plaintiff's allegations are sufficient to 

provide Defendants' other non-exempt employees notice of the litigation and an opportunity to optin to the action to pursue their FLSA claims. 

Therefore, Stipulation for Conditional Certification and to Facilitate Notice under 29 U.S.C. 

§ 216(b) is GRANTED as follows:
