WHEREAS, on September 30, 2014, Plaintiffs JOSEPH TERRAS, and 

BOBBY TYLER (collectively “Plaintiffs”), as individual California residents, on 

behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, filed a Complaint asserting a 

hybrid putative class and collective action against Defendant TRINITY RIVER 

LUMBER COMPANY (“Defendant”), a California corporation. 

WHEREAS, on December 15, 2014, Defendant filed its Motion to Dismiss, 

For A More Definite Statement and to Strike the Complaint.

WHEREAS, on February 5, 2015, Plaintiffs and Defendant (the “Parties”)

filed A Stipulation and Order for Plaintiffs To File Their First Amended 

Complaint. 

WHEREAS, on February 11, 2015, Plaintiffs filed their First Amended 

Complaint. 

WHEREAS, on February 23, 2015, Defendant filed its Motion to Dismiss, 

For A More Definite Statement and to Strike the First Amended Complaint.

WHEREAS, on March 16, 2015 Plaintiffs files a Second Amended 

Complaint without leave of court instead of opposing Defendant’s Motion to 

Dismiss the First Amended Complaint. 

WHEREAS, on March 27, 2015 the Court issued a minute order striking 

Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint is 

currently the operative complaint. 

WHEREAS, although the Parties have been working together in a good faith 

attempt to resolve the issues raised by Defendant’s Motions and Plaintiffs have 

prepared a draft of their Second Amended Complaint, Defendant contends that the 

Second Amended Complaint still has many of the fatal deficiencies raised in its 

Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint, including the failure to allege 

facts required for Plaintiffs’ claims and allegations. The Parties are still working 

towards resolving those disputed issues prior to the filing of the Second Amended 

Complaint.
