Plaintiff, Michael Rodman (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant, Safeway Inc. 

(“Safeway”) submit this Status Report to provide an update on three issues currently 

pending before this Court, which are: the bill of costs; a proposed interim notice to 

Class Members of entry of the judgment; and a briefing schedule for Plaintiff’s 

anticipated motion for discovery sanctions. The parties are filing concurrently 

herewith two stipulations that, subject to Court approval, resolve the issues 

concerning the bill of costs and the proposed interim notice. The parties have also 

agreed to a briefing schedule for Plaintiff’s motion for sanctions, which is set forth 

below. As such, the parties believe the Case Management Conference currently 

scheduled for February 24, 2016 can be taken off calendar. Alternatively, Plaintiff 

will file herewith a request to appear telephonically. 

A. Bill of Costs 

The parties have reached agreement on a stipulated amount of $95,000.00 for 

Plaintiff’s Bill of Costs incurred through the date of the approximately $41.9 million 

judgment. The parties are submitting a stipulation to that effect today. 

B. Notice of Entry of Judgment to Class Members 

The parties have agreed to send a notice to class members to provide them 

with an update on the status of the case, and also reminding Class members that they 

should contact Class counsel in the event that their address or contact information 

changes prior to resolution of the litigation. The parties have agreed on the content 

of the notice and manner of distribution, and are submitting a stipulation and 

proposed order seeking approval today.
