 WHEREAS, Plaintiffs Lynn Morris, Caroline Plaza, Veronica Tench, Jacqueline 

Murray, Maidaflor Maybir, Jocelyn Manacmul, Donna Gutierrez, Eleanore de Dios, and Elenita 

Santos-Funai (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed the Complaint in this civil action on October 

21, 2014. 

 WHEREAS, on November 18, 2014, the Plaintiffs and Defendants Daughters of Charity 

Health System, Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent De Paul Province of the West, Daughters of 

Charity Ministry Services Corporation, Robert Issai, Stephanie Battles, and Mike Stuart 

(collectively, the “Defendants”) filed a stipulation extending the time for Defendants to answer 

or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs’ Complaint to December 31, 2014. 

 WHEREAS, on December 26, 2014, the Plaintiffs and the Defendants filed a stipulation 

extending the time for the Defendants to file a Motion to Dismiss, Motion to Stay, Answer or 

otherwise respond to Plaintiffs’ Complaint to January 15, 2015. 

 WHEREAS, the Defendants filed a Motion to Stay on January 15, 2015. 

 WHEREAS, the initial Case Management Conference (“CMC”) in this case is set for 

January 29, 2015, and certain associated deadlines (involving the Joint Case Management 

Statement, the Proposed Case Management Order, and the Rule 26(f) Report) are set for January 

20, 2015. 

 WHEREAS, counsel for the Plaintiffs and counsel for the Defendants have conferred 

and agreed that it is in the best interests of all parties and would promote judicial efficiency to 

vacate the CMC and associated deadlines until the Motion to Stay is resolved and to set a 

schedule for the briefing and hearing of the Motion to Stay, except both parties agree to 

exchange initial disclosures by January 22, 2015. While Plaintiffs reserve the right to move for 

a preliminary injunction and for early discovery, Defendants will oppose injunctive relief and/or 

early discovery for reasons including, but not limited to, those stated in the Motion to Stay and 

under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

 NOW, THEREFORE, the Plaintiffs and the Defendants, by and through their respective 

counsel, hereby stipulate as follows:
