JOINT STIPULATION

 Plaintiffs Octavio Alvarado, Pablo Martinez, Omar Gomez, Daniel Gomez and 

Jose de Jesus Garcia (“Plaintiffs”), and Defendants Rex and Sheri Nederend (“Defendants”), by 

and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 

 1. On September 1, 2009, this Court granted a stipulation, and ordered that 

this action be stayed for 120 days for purposes of completing mediation; that Defendants shall 

make best efforts to produce, at least 30 days before mediation, a database in native form 

containing time and payroll information of putative class members; that the database shall be 

subject to the Protective Order in place in this case; and that the time for Plaintiffs to file an 

amended complaint was extended until 20 days after the stay expired. A true and correct copy 

of the September 1, 2009, Stipulation Stay Pending Mediation and Order ("Stipulation") is 

attached hereto as Exhibit "A". 

2. Due to events beyond the parties control, mediation has not been 

completed, nor have Defendants provided the payroll information pursuant to the Stipulation. 

3. On January 19, 2010, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint. 

4. The parties to the action still desire to mediate the matter, and stay the 

action in accordance to the September 1, 2009, Stipulation. 

5. As such, the parties to the action will mediate the case and agree to stay 

the case pending mediation for 90 calendar days from the date the Order is signed, except as 

described below. 

6. In the interest of avoiding unnecessary attorney time and expense 

associated with the review of voluminous paper documents, and pursuant to the Federal rules 

requiring production of information in electronic form, Defendants shall make best efforts to 

produce, at least 30 days before mediation, a database in native form containing time and payroll 

information of putative class members to aid the parties in preparing and conducting mediation. 

To the extent that this time and payroll data contains confidential information of putative class 

members, such information shall be governed by the Protective Order in place in this case and 

may be redacted in conformance with said Protective Order.
