Plaintiffs and defendants, through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate as follows: 

1. In this wage and hour class action, plaintiffs seek to represent all employees hired 

over last four years at the various stores doing business under the name of Arteaga’s Starlite 

Supermarket. 

2, On June 1, 2006, plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint, adding four new 

defendants, Engelberto Arteaga, Jose Arteaga, Amador Arteaga and Alfonso Quintana. 

3. By July 25, 2006, defendants Engelberto Arteaga, Jose Arteaga, Amador Arteaga 

have filed their answers. 

4. Defendant Alfonso Quintana, the only defendant who has not appeared, was 

served on July 11, 2006. Based on an earlier conversation between Alfonso Quintana’s attorney 

Dominic Libonati and plaintiffs’ counsel, on August 22, 2006, Mr. Libonati sent plaintiffs’ 

counsel certain documents, requesting that his client be dismissed from this case. Plaintiffs’ 

counsel agreed to grant an extension for defendant Quintana to file an answer while plaintiffs 

consider his dismissal request. Despite the extension to file an answer, Mr. Libonati agreed that 

his client Alfonso Quintana would participate in the mediation in this case. 

5. However, during the course of preparing the Joint Case Management Statement 

and discussion of mediation, Maureen E. McFadden, the counsel for defendants Jose Arteaga and 

Amador Arteaga, first learned of Mr. Libonati’s intended representation of defendant Quintana, 

and raised a potential conflict of interest issue. Mr. Libonati elected to withdraw from this case 

on September 5, 2006. 

6. On July 7, 2006, the Court referred this case to the Court’s ADR program for 

mediation, setting the deadline for completion of ADR on September 6, 2006. On July 27, 2006, 

Teresa V. Carey was appointed as mediator. 

6. Given the withdrawal of defendant Quintana’s counsel, it is not practical to 

complete the mediation by the current deadline. As such, parties respectfully request that the 

deadline to complete ADR be continued until November 30, 2006.
