Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 143 of the United States District Court for the 

Eastern District of California, the Parties to the above entitled action, TIMOTHY 

MORGRET (“Plaintiff” or “Morgret”) and VALLEY INDUSTRIAL X-RAY AND 

INSPECTION SERVICES, INC. (“Defendant” or “Valley”) (collectively referred 

to as the “Parties”), by and through their undersigned counsel, enter into the 

following Stipulation:

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed the original Complaint on November 6, 2013;

WHEREAS, Defendant Valley filed an Answer to the Complaint on 

December 2, 2013;

WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred and agree that Plaintiff may 

file a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”), a true and correct copy of which is 

attached hereto as “Exhibit A.” The proposed FAC contains three substantive 

changes from the initial Complaint: (1) Defendant APPLUS TECHNOLOGIES, 

INC. was dismissed by the Court on November 22, 2013; (2) Plaintiff Morgret now 

seeks to add an additional cause of action pursuant to the California Private 

Attorney General Act (“PAGA”); and, (3) Defendant Valley employed Plaintiff as 

both a “Technician” and “Assistant Technician;” therefore, Plaintiff seeks to 

narrowly define the class definitions between each of these two job classifications;

and

WHEREAS, the Parties have further agreed that Plaintiff shall file and serve 

the proposed FAC within five (5) days of the entrance of the [Proposed] Order filed 

concurrently herewith and that Defendant shall have fifteen (15) days from the 

service of the FAC to file an answer to the FAC.

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties stipulate that, by order of this Court:

1. Plaintiff shall be permitted to file the attached FAC:

2. Plaintiff shall file and serve the FAC within five (5) days of the 

entrance of the [proposed] Order filed concurrently herewith; and
