1. On August 7, 2007 this Court ordered that:

“Plaintiff anticipates amending the complaint to assert additional claims under California Labor

Code §2698. Plaintiffs shall have until September 7, 2007 to file a stipulation or noticed motion for an

order granting leave to amend the complaint to add such claims. If Plaintiffsfile an amended complaint,

and as a result thereof, either or both parties desire an extension of time regarding the motion to dismiss,

they may seek an extension either by stipulation or ex parte application showing good cause for the

extension.”

2. Plaintiffs now wish to amend their complaint in conformance with this Court’s order to add

claims under California Labor Code §2698. Defendants do not oppose the filing of this Complaint but

reserve arguments that may be made in a future motion to dismiss with regards to this cause of action

and this complaint. 

3. As such, the parties stipulate to the amendment of the operative complaint. A copy of the

proposed First Amended Complaint is attached to this Stipulation and Proposed OrderThere is currently

a motion to dismiss regarding the operative Complaint scheduled for hearing on September 21, 2007 at

9:00 a.m.. The Parties request this court to take the motion to dismiss currently scheduled for September

21, 2007 off calendar so that Defendants may file, if they decide to do so, a motion to dismiss to this

First Amended Complaint.There is good cause to permit the resetting of the motion to dismiss, as it will

permit the court and the parties to resolve all of the motion to dismiss issues in one, rather than two,

motions, and will save the court and the parties time and expenses. 

September 6, 2007.
