UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JUSTIN LOPEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

AMERICOLD LOGISTICS, LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00308-NONE-EPG

ORDER RE: JOINT STIPULATION TO 

CONTINUE SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

(ECF No. 6)

The parties have filed a stipulation to continue the scheduling conference and all other 

deadlines (ECF No. 6) pending a ruling in Contreras v. Americold Logistics, LLC, case no. 5:19-

cv-00641-GW (SHK), a proposed class action pending in the United States District Court for the 

Central District of California. 

According to the parties, a settlement has been reached in the Contreras class action, and 

a motion for preliminary approval of the Contreras class action settlement is pending and has 

been taken under submission by the presiding district court judge. The Contreras class action

settlement, if approved, appears to cover all claims asserted in the present action, and Plaintiff 

Lopez is a putative class member in the Contreras class action. At this time, Lopez does not know 

whether he will opt out of, object to, or participate in the Contreras class action settlement. The
