STIP TO EXTEND CMO 

DEADLINES 1. Case No. 3:12-cv-05790-JST

THIS STIPULATION is hereby entered into by and between Plaintiffs PHILLIP FLORES 

and DARAH DOUNG (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendants VELOCITY EXPRESS, LLC, TRANSFORCE, 

INC. and DYNAMEX OPERATIONS EAST, LLC, (“Defendants”, collectively the “Parties”)

1

through their authorized counsel, with respect to the following:

WHEREAS, the Parties previously worked to develop a case management plan to cover the 

litigation of the approximate 365 Plaintiffs in this action, which plan was memorialized in a 

Proposed Case Management Order #4 (“CMO 4”). See Dkt. No. 297;

WHEREAS, this Court adopted CMO 4 with modification. See Dkt. No. 300.

WHEREAS, following further progress in the litigation, the Parties submitted a revised CMO 

#4 that included specific deadlines for periods of Tranche 1 discovery and litigation. See Dkt. No. 

304 at pg. 6.

WHEREAS, per the revised CMO #4, discovery for Tranche 1 closes on November 12, 2018 

and the Parties have been working to schedule numerous Tranche 1 depositions. The Parties 

recognize and agree that these depositions will require the investment of significant time and 

resources by all Parties. 

WHEREAS, the Parties have also continued to negotiate regarding a potential resolution of 

this action and Boconvi v. TFI International Inc. et al. (Case No.: 3:17-cv-02623-JST), which is 

currently on appeal.

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to return to mediation and, indeed, scheduled a 

mediation on September 18, 2018 with Mark Rudy, a noted class action mediator who previously 

mediated between the parties.

WHEREAS, all Parties recognize that the substantial costs associated with dozens of further 

depositions are likely to reduce the prospects of a successful mediation and, further, that the logistics 

related to scheduling a significant number of further depositions will limit the Parties’ abilities to 

simultaneously commit sufficient resources to mediating the case.

 

1 On August 10, 2018 the Parties filed a stipulation to amend the case caption to account for a number of corporate 

renaming and conversion processes that occurred with Defendants. See DKT No. 317. Pending the Court’s approval of 

that stipulation, Defendants submit this stipulation under the names of the current case caption.
