Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a), Plaintiffs EVERETT CASTILLO, 

LINDA CASTILLO, WENDY TRAN, and NICHOLAS DATTOMA (“Plaintiffs”), on behalf of 

themselves and all others similarly situated, and Defendant Seagate Technology LLC 

(“Seagate”), through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, two related putative class actions involving allegations related to Seagate’s 

security practices and a phishing incident are currently pending before this Court, involve the 

same issues of fact and law, and therefore should be consolidated for all purposes; 

WHEREAS, the first action, Castillo et al. v. Seagate Technology LLC, No. 3:16-cv01958-RS, was filed on April 14, 2016; 

WHEREAS, the second action, Dattoma v. Seagate Technology LLC, No. C5:16-cv02136-RS, was filed on April 21, 2016; 

WHEREAS, on May 16, 2016, the Court issued an order relating the above-captioned 

cases, and both are assigned to Judge Richard Seeborg (Castillo Dkt. No. 11; Dattoma Dkt. No. 

10);

WHEREAS, Seagate’s responses to the Castillo and Dattoma complaints are currently 

due on June 15, 2016; 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that judicial efficiency would best be served by 

consolidating the above captioned cases and by Plaintiffs filing a Consolidated Complaint, as it 

would be duplicative and wasteful of the Court’s resources for Seagate to respond to and the 

parties to separately litigate the individual complaints; 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that Defendant is no longer required to respond to the 

separate complaints on June 15 given Plaintiffs’ agreement to file a Consolidated Complaint; 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that Plaintiffs will file the Consolidated Complaint within 

14 days of the Court’s order approving consolidation, and Seagate will have thirty days from the 

date of the filing of the Consolidated Complaint to respond; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the parties, through their counsel, 

subject to the approval of the Court, that the Castillo and Dattoma actions should be 

consolidated. Seagate’s June 15 response date is vacated. Plaintiffs will file a Consolidated 

Case 3:16-cv-01958-RS Document 19 Filed 06/15/16 Page 2 of 5
