STIPULATION AND ORDER RE DISMISSAL 

U.S.D.C., N.D. Cal., No. CV-05-1671-JF 

STIPULATION 

Plaintiffs Herbert Cevallos, Javier Castaneda, and Carolina Zavala and defendant Sodexho, Inc., 

acting through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows: 

1. This action, Cevallos v. Sodexho, Inc., U.S.D.C., N.D. Cal., No. C-05-1671-JF 

(“Cevallos”), and a related action, Herrera v. Sodexho, Inc., U.S.D.C., N.D. Cal., No. C-05-1247-JF 

(“Herrera”), both are currently pending before this Court. A status conference in both actions is 

scheduled for Friday, January 12, 2007. 

2. In December 2005, the parties settled both the Cevallos and the Herrera actions. In order 

to avoid disputes over this Court’s authority to approve the class action settlement (the parties disputed 

this Court’s subject matter jurisdiction), the parties requested that this Court delay further proceedings 

so that the plaintiffs in both actions could file a settlement action in Alameda County Superior Court, 

which they did (Cevallos, et al., v. Sodexho, Inc., Case No. RG06268867 (the “State Court Action”)). 

3. On October 19, 2006, the Alameda County Superior Court granted final approval to the 

class action settlement in the State Court Action, thereby resolving all claims herein. A copy of the final 

approval order is attached as Exhibit A for the Court’s reference. 

4. Pursuant to the settlement and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1), the parties 

hereby stipulate by and through their designated counsel of record that the above-captioned action be 

and hereby is dismissed with prejudice, with each side to bear its own fees and costs. 

5. The parties further believe there is good cause, and on that basis request, that the January 

12, 2007 Status Conference be vacated.
