The Parties to the above-entitled action jointly submit this Stipulation and [Proposed] 

Order regarding the alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") process, pursuant to this Court's order 

(issued on July 23, 2010 [see Doc. 27, filed 7/26/2010]) regarding the same.

Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE). The Parties agree to complete the ENE process 

provided by the Northern District no later than 120 days from the date this Order is entered by the 

Court or November 30, 2010, whichever is sooner. The Parties respectfully request that any ENE 

evaluator appointed by the Court should be well-versed in issues related to the overtime 

requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act and, specifically, with respect to the exemption to the 

same requirements provided by the Motor Carrier Act. See 29 U.S.C. § 213(b)(1), 49 U.S.C. § 

35102. 

Early In-Person Meeting. The Parties further agree that all reasonable efforts shall be 

made to hold an in-person settlement conference between counsel in this case, no later than 60 days 

after the entry of this Order or October 1, 2010, whichever is sooner. The Parties will make all 

reasonable efforts to exchange information (formally or informally) prior to that in-person meeting, 

so that productive settlement discussions may be had. The Parties also agree to meet and confer in 

good faith at such meeting, in an attempt to fully and finally resolve the issues in this action. The 

Parties agree that all briefing and other materials submitted at or in connection with this in-person 

meeting (which are created for the purpose of such meeting) shall be considered to be privileged 

settlement material (see Fed. Rule. Evid. 408). 

Thus, the Parties, through their undersigned counsel, respectfully request that the 

Court enter this Stipulation as an Order.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

Each of the undersigned certify that the content of the foregoing document is 

acceptable to all persons required to sign the document and authorization to electronically sign this 

document has been obtained.
