UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TERRILL JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

Q.E.D. ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS 

INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-01454-WHO 

ORDER CONTINUING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Re: Dkt. No. 24

The Case Management Conference set for May 11, 2016 is continued to the earlier of the 

hearing on any motion to dismiss the anticipated amended complaint or August 9, 2016. 

For the guidance of the parties, I do not bifurcate discovery between class and merits 

issues, but discovery must be proportional. Given the failure of plaintiff to meet his minimum 

pleading standard, prior to the next Case Management Conference discovery is limited to any 

matters directly relevant to the plaintiff (his employment and termination, the terms and conditions 

of his employment, and defenses to his individual claims), as opposed to the class, and relevant 

written wage and hour policies of the defendant. Defendant should also serve objections to the 

rest of the propounded discovery as appropriate on the assumption that the amended complaint is 

allowed to proceed. The parties should meet and confer over the objections prior to the Case 

Management Conference so that the case management schedule is not delayed. The parties need 

not file a new Joint Case Management Statement a week before the CMC unless they wish to 

update me on developments since May 4, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 10, 2016
