WHEREAS, on February 4, 2015, THERESA DUCKWORTH (“Plaintiff”) commenced 

this individual and class action against KENT’S MEATS & GROCERIES, INC. and KENT W. 

PFRIMMER (“Defendants”) in the United States District Court, Eastern District of CaliforniaSacramento Division. In addition to her individual sexual discrimination, harassment and 

retaliation claims based on violations of the public policy, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 

1964 (“Title VII”), and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”), Plaintiff 

alleged that Defendants are liable to her and other similarly situated current and former nonexempt, hourly employees in California for unpaid wages and other related relief based on 

Defendants’ alleged failures to (1) provide all rest breaks, (2) provide all meal periods, (3) fairly 

compete, (4) indemnify for all expenses, (5) provide accurate wage statements, and (6) timely 

pay final wages upon termination of employment.

WHEREAS, on February 27, 2015, Plaintiff served Defendants with the lawsuit.

WHEREAS, on March 25, 2015, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s wage 

and hour class claims (Claims for Relief 10 through 16). Defendants argued that the Court lacks

supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s state wage and hour claims under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff does not concede to Defendants’ arguments for lack of 

supplemental jurisdiction over the disputed claims. 

GOOD CAUSE APPEARING THEREFOR, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AS 

FOLLOWS:

A. Plaintiff will file an amended complaint (attached as Exhibit A to this 

Stipulation) that omits Claims for Relief 10 through 16.

B. Plaintiff will file the dismissed claims in the Superior Court of California,

County of Shasta.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
