Plaintiff Yesenia Melgar, on behalf of herself and the certified class (“Plaintiff”), and 

Defendants Zicam LLC and Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. (collectively “Defendants”), by and through 

their respective attorneys, hereby stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, on May 11, 2016, Plaintiff filed a [Proposed] Order Regarding the Issuance of 

Notice to the Certified Class. Dkt. No. 118. 

WHEREAS, on May 12, 2016, Defendants requested leave to file an opposition to 

Plaintiff’s proposed notice plan. Dkt. No. 119. 

WHEREAS, on May 17, 2016, the Court granted Defendants’ request for leave to file an 

opposition to Plaintiff’s proposed notice plan, and set May 27, 2016 as the deadline for 

Defendants’ opposition, and June 3, 2016 as the deadline for Plaintiff’s reply. The Court set the 

hearing for Defendants’ opposition to Plaintiff’s proposed notice plan on June 16, 2016. Dkt. No. 

121. 

WHEREAS, on October 20, 2015, the Court set May 26, 2016 as the deadline to file 

evidentiary or procedural motions, as well as the deadline to file a Joint Final Pretrial Statement. 

The Court set the Final Pretrial Conference for June 16, 2016. Dkt. No. 104. 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s counsel has a significant deadline on June 3, 2016, which conflicts 

with Plaintiff’s June 3, 2016 deadline to file a reply in support of her notice plan. 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s counsel and Defendants’ counsel have conferred and have agreed 

that Defendants’ deadline to file its opposition to Plaintiff’s notice plan shall be on May 31, 2016, 

and the deadline for Plaintiff’s reply shall be on June 10, 2016. 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that the hearing on Defendants’ opposition to Plaintiff’s 

proposed notice plan should remain on June 16, 2016 or on such other date that is convenient for 

the Court. 

WHEREAS, the parties have conferred and agree to extend the deadlines to file the Joint 

Final Pretrial Statement and evidentiary or procedural motions so that issues regarding Plaintiff’s 

notice plan can be resolved prior to the pretrial conference.

2. The deadline for Plaintiff to file a reply in support of Plaintiff’s proposed notice plan shall 

be on June 10, 2016.

4. The August 1, 2016, trial and the June 16, 2016, pretrial conference are VACATED. 

5. The deadlines to file the Final Pretrial Conference Statement, evidentiary or procedural 

motions and all trial documents are VACATED. 

6. The parties are directed to participate in a second Settlement Conference before Magistrate 

Judge Kendall J. Newman. Not later than five (5) days following the date this order is 

electronically filed, counsel are directed to contact Judge Newman’s chambers to schedule

Confidential Settlement Conference Statement shall not be disclosed to the trial judge. 

7. The trial and related pretrial dates will be re-set, if necessary, after the Settlement 

Conference and once the issues regarding Plaintiff’s notice plan are resolved. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
