Plaintiffs JOSEPH VIERRA and KEVIN WOODRUFF and Defendant TIMEC 

COMPANY, INC. d/b/a TRANSFIELD SERVICES, LTD., through their undersigned counsel 

hereby stipulate as follows, and request that the time for completing private mediation be extended 

by one week to September 22, 2015. 

WHEREAS, this is a putative wage hour class action involving in excess of a 

thousand putative class members; and 

WHEREAS, this case was filed on September 10, 2014, and the FAC was filed on 

December 2, 2014; and 

WHEREAS, at the first case management conference held on January 22, 2015 the 

Court referred the matter to private mediation, which was to be completed by September 15, 2015 

(ECF No. 29 , Minute Order); and 

WHEREAS, the parties acted promptly after the case management conference to 

select a mediator experienced in wage hour class action settlements, Jeffrey A. Ross Employment 

Mediation in Oakland , California; and 

WHEREAS, the parties attempted to secure a mediation date prior to September 15 

from the mediator, but he was setting mediation dates many months in advance, and the earliest date 

he was available that worked for the parties and their counsel was September 22, 2015; and 

WHEREAS, on April 7, 2015 the mediator set the mediation date for September 22, 

2015; and 

WHEREAS, the parties had hoped that a cancellation in the mediator’s schedule 

might allow them to mediate earlier, if necessary preparation for the mediation was completed, but 

this has not occurred, and the mediation is still scheduled for September 22, 2015; and 

WHEREAS, preparation for the mediation has required the retention of an expert by 

Defendant to analyze its payroll records and provide detailed summaries and calculations which the 

parties believe are necessary for a meaningful mediation, which have, to the extent necessary for a 

meaningful mediation, been shared with Plaintiffs’ counsel on a confidential mediation privileged 

basis, but which was time consuming and costly to prepare, and Defendant and Plaintiffs are still 

diligently working with their respective experts to prepare for the mediation; and
