STIPULATION & ORDER TO VACATE OR CONTINUE HEARING ON 

PLAINTIFF’S DISCOVERY MOTIONS CERTIFICATION

2

The Parties to the above-entitled action, through their respective 

counsel of record, submit this Stipulation and Proposed Order to vacate the 

hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Further Responses to 

Interrogatories (ECF No. 24) and Motion to Compel Production of 

Documents (ECF No. 23) or, in the alternative, to continue said hearing to a 

later date pursuant to Local Rule 230(f). 

Plaintiff filed the above discovery motions in order to resolve disputes 

that concern the disclosure of contact information for putative class 

members, and the production of time and payroll records of putative class 

members. In a continued effort to narrow the issues and avoid unnecessary 

expenditure of party and judicial resources, the Parties have agreed to take 

the pending discovery motions off calendar without prejudice to Plaintiff’s 

right to have them heard at a future date if, despite the efforts of the 

Parties, the disputes surrounding Plaintiff’s discovery motions cannot be 

resolved without court intervention.

The Parties are meeting and conferring on a notice and opt-out 

procedure (“Belaire Notice”) that will inform putative class members of this 

action and provide them an opportunity to opt out of disclosing their contact 

information. The Parties intend to provide a Belaire Notice for court 

approval in the coming days. Plaintiff has also agreed to address certain 

issues concerning the pleadings and is considering these issues as well the 

available options to address them. Plaintiff intends to meet and confer with 

Defendants in an attempt to resolve any pleading issues prior to seeking 

court intervention.

Based on the foregoing, the Parties agree that Plaintiff’s discovery 

motions (ECF Nos. 23, 24) should be taken off calendar at this time or 

continued to a date that is acceptable to the Court not later than August 31, 

2016. The Parties respectfully request that the Court adopt the
