JOINT CASE MANGEMENT STATEMENT 

FIRMWIDE:137212273.4 052001.1047 2. (No. 3:14-cv-04105-EMC) 

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f), the parties to the above-entitled action have met and 

conferred and jointly submit this THIRD JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT pursuant 

to the Standing Order for All Judges of the Northern District of California dated July 1, 2011 and 

Civil Local Rule 16-9. 

1. DEVELOPMENTS SINCE THE INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

Pursuant to this Court’s January 23, 2015 Minute Order (Dkt. No. 29), the parties met and 

conferred regarding a Belaire notice. Following the agreed-upon Belaire disclosure opt-out process, 

a third-party notice administrator provided Plaintiffs with the class list on or about June 18, 2015. 

Further, pursuant to this Court’s January 23, 2015 Minute Order (Dkt. No. 29), and the 

September 11, 2015 Order Extending Date to Complete Private Mediation by One Week (Dkt. No. 

33), the parties engaged in the mediation of this matter before an experienced wage and hour 

mediator, Jeffrey Ross, on September 22, 2015. While the parties did not reach a resolution at that 

mediation, they did clarify issues that affect their positions and identified additional information and 

documents to enable them to move forward. They agreed to continue their efforts to resolve this 

matter. To that end, in an agreement and process facilitated by Mr. Ross, Defendant provided 

additional documents requested by Plaintiffs related to an agreed-upon sample group of the putative 

class members. The parties will continue to use the mediator to try to narrow their differences and 

exchange information helpful to the settlement process while they prepare for another mediation 

session. After further review of documents and direct discussions, the parties have scheduled 

another mediation session with Mr. Ross on March 2, 2016, his first available date. 

On November 10, 2015, the Court granted the parties’ Stipulation, and continued the date for 

hearing Motion(s) for Class Certification to April 21, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. (ECF No. 37, p. 4). The 

Court ordered the Motion to be heard on the normal 35 day schedule, unless the parties stipulate 

otherwise (subject to Court approval) (ECF No. 37, p. 4). The parties request that in light of Mr. 

Ross’s unavailability for mediation until March, and the need for further discovery, that the Court 

continue the class certification hearing date to June 9, 2016.

2. FURTHER CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND SCHEDULING 

The Parties respectfully suggest that the Court schedule a further Case Management 

Conference in early April after the next mediation, at which time the parties will be able to apprise 

the Court of the outcome of their continued settlement efforts.
