UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

BRIAN BUCHANAN, ET AL., 

Plaintiffs, 

vs. 

TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES, LTD, 

Defendant.

CASE NO. 15-cv-01696-YGR 

ORDER RE: CORRECTIVE NOTICE

Pursuant to the Court’s request at the July 17, 2018 hearing, defendant Tata Consulting 

Services, Ltd. (“TCS”) has filed a supplemental declaration in support of its opposition to 

plaintiffs’ motion to invalidate releases.1 (Dkt. No. 424.) Plaintiffs’ request to file a response 

(Dkt. No. 426) is GRANTED. 

At this juncture, the Court is not inclined to order as expansive a corrective notice as 

plaintiffs have requested, i.e. the Court will not invalidate the releases. However, a corrective 

notice is still required. In light of TCS’s filing and the uncertainties which remain regarding the 

underlying process, TCS SHALL make Mr. Sharma available for deposition by plaintiffs, upon 

prompt request, by no later than August 13, 2018. 

 In the meantime, the parties SHALL meet and confer regarding a proposed form of 

corrective notice to those who have signed releases which advises them of the impending trial, the 

option to join the class notwithstanding the release, and the fact that the Court is still in the process 

of determining what, if anything, should occur with respect to payments already made and 

received. The form of corrective notice SHALL BE SUBMITTED to the Court no later than 12 noon 

on Monday, August 6, 2018.

 In connection with this filing, TCS has filed an administrative motion to seal attachments 

to the declaration. (Dkt. No. 425.) TCS’s motion is GRANTED.
