OHS West:260262516.1 1 STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

DISMISSING THIRD CLAIM FOR RELIEF

 C 06-02069 SBA 

STIPULATION

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ First Amended Consolidated Complaint sets forth, among 

other claims for relief on behalf of the putative class members, a claim for unpaid overtime in the 

third claim for relief. 

WHEREAS on May 29, 2007, the Court issued an Order granting in part and 

denying in part Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Strike the First Amended 

Consolidated Complaint; 

WHEREAS, in opposing Defendant’s Motions with respect to the third claim for 

relief, Plaintiffs informed the Court that another case entitled Newland v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is 

pending in the California Superior Court, County of Alameda, Case No. RG05193921; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs have determined that the claims relating to alleged unpaid 

overtime in this action are substantially identical to the claims for unpaid overtime in the Newland

action; 

WHEREAS the Newland action was commenced on January 14, 2005, over a year 

before the commencement of this action; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs have determined that the Newland matter, which previously 

was stayed, is now moving forward and said stay has been lifted; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs have determined that continuing to litigate the third claim 

for relief for overtime in this action may lead to unnecessary expense and waste of judicial 

resources; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs in this matter wish to dismiss the entire third claim for relief 

and strike all allegations that relate solely to that claim; 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby stipulate and agree and ask that the Court 

to approve this Stipulation as an Order of the Court: 

1. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a), to DISMISS the third 

claim for relief in its entirety; 

2. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(f), to STRIKE the 

following language from the First Amended Consolidated Complaint, which by virtue of the
