STIPULATION REGARDING SETTLEMENT

Case no. 3:13-cv-5016 JST

2

Plaintiffs Michael Deatrick, the Opt-in Plaintiffs, and Defendant Securitas Security Services 

USA, Inc. (“Securitas USA”) hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 

WHEREAS, the parties participated in a private mediation on April 22, 2015;

WHEREAS, although the parties were unable to resolve the case at mediation, settlement 

discussions continued with the mediator’s assistance; 

WHEREAS, the parties have now reached agreement on general terms to settle this matter on 

behalf of all opt-in plaintiffs nationwide and a conditionally-certified California Rule 23 class or classes;

WHEREAS, the parties require sufficient time to finalize and document terms of settlement and 

prepare and file a motion for conditional certification and preliminary approval;

WHEREAS, the proposed settlement would include a schedule for Securitas USA to make 

changes to its vacation-pay policies nationwide and Securitas USA requires time to implement such 

changes;

WHEREAS, Securitas USA has filed (1) a Motion to Enforce Collective Action Waiver of 

Covered Plaintiffs Pursuant to Dispute Resolution Agreements [ECF 135], and (2) a Motion for Partial

Summary Judgment as to Employees Subject to Collective Bargaining Agreements [ECF 136], both 

currently set for hearing on July 16, 2015.

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that Securitas USA may withdraw its pending motions 

without prejudice to re-filing, and that agreement to settlement and to conditional Rule 23 certification 

shall not act as a waiver of any argument or issue in the motions if the anticipated settlement does not 

become final. 

The Parties THEREFORE STIPULATE, AGREE AND REQUEST AS FOLLOWS:

1. That Securitas USA withdraws its pending motions and the Court vacates the hearing 

date of July 16, 2015, on the (1) Motion to Enforce Collective Action Waiver of Covered 

Plaintiffs Pursuant to Dispute Resolution Agreements [ECF 135] and (2) Motion for 

Partial Summary Judgment as to Employees Subject to Collective Bargaining 

Agreements filed by Securitas USA [ECF 136].

2. That Securitas USA may re-file said motions without prejudice in the event the 

anticipated settlement in this matter does not become final.
