STIPULATION TO CONTINUE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE TO SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER

Winston & Strawn LLP 

101 California Street 

San Francisco, CA 94111 

WHEREAS, on June 3, 2016, the Court entered a Settlement Conference Order (the “Order”) 

scheduling a Settlement Conference in the above captioned matter for July 22, 2016; 

WHEREAS, counsel for Plaintiffs Fazilat Kazeminezhad, et al., and counsel for Defendants 

AGA Service Company, et al., (Plaintiffs and Defendants, together, referenced herein as the 

“Parties”) thereafter held an initial meet and confer to discuss the status of the case and the potential 

for settlement of this putative multi-state class action; 

WHEREAS, the Parties agreed that the Settlement Conference would be more productive at a 

later date, that a continuance would allow the Parties adequate time to fully explore all aspects of the 

claims necessary to be considered by them to potentially reach agreement regarding some or all of 

claims in advance of the Settlement Conference, and therefore sought (Doc. 42 & 43) and were 

granted on June 20, 2016 a Continuance of the Settlement Conference to September 8, 2016; 

WHEREAS, between the date of that Continuance and the present, counsel for Plaintiff and 

Defendants have been in constant contact and diligently working on developing targeted discovery 

requests and methods for Defendants to respond to those requests because the information sought is 

not maintained in the normal course of Defendants’ business, thereby requiring specialized data 

queries that had to be developed, vetted for accuracies and then further refined by Defendants before 

production of such data to Plaintiffs; 

WHEREAS, a significant portion of the responsive data has just been able to be furnished to 

Plaintiffs in a series of data productions beginning August 15, 2016 notwithstanding Defendants’ 

good faith diligence in doing all of the above and the Parties’ ongoing discussions to expedite the 

exchange process without compromising the accuracy of the queried data sets; 

WHEREAS, there still remains additional data to be be culled, analyzed and furnished by 

Defendants in response to Plaintiffs’ discovery requests in order to allow both sides to fully evaluate 

potential approaches to settlement, which has been an on-going process between counsel for the 

Parties; 

WHEREAS, subject to the Court’s approval, the Parties agree on a continuance of the 

Settlement Conference from September 8, 2016 to November 17, 2016 to allow for these additional 

data points to be compiled and analyzed in combination with the current data results and then for the
