STIPULATION TO CONSOLIDATE 

CASES 

C06-07912 JL 

 C07-06444 WHA 

 

Parties in the relevant cases, through their respective counsel, stipulate to consolidate this 

action and the subsequently filed case Cai v. CCL Group Inc. (C07-06444 WHA) as follows: 

1. The plaintiff in this action is claiming unpaid overtime wages, liquidated damages, 

meal period premiums, and “waiting time penalties” under California, Labor Code § 203, 

attorneys' fees and costs arising out of his employment with Defendant CCL Group Inc. doing 

business as Yataka Sushi Bar & Grill as a sushi chef. 

2. The later filed action Cai v. CCL Group Inc. (C07-06444 WHA) alleges identical causes 

of action on identical legal theories as result of Defendant’s uniform payroll practice. 

Specifically, both actions alleges against the same defendants for failure to pay overtime in

STIPULATION TO CONSOLIDATE 

Tang v. CCL Group Inc., et al Case No. C07-5243 JF Page2 

violation of Fair Labor Standards Act, willful violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, failure to 

pay overtime as required by California laws, civil penalties under California Labor Code § 558, 

and “waiting time penalties” under California Labor Code § 203. Moreover, parties in both actions 

are represented by the same counsel. 

3. Given the identical causes of actions alleged in both cases, if the cases are 

conducted before different judges, parties will be burdened with the duplicate of discoveries and 

the parties and the Court are likely to engage in duplicate set of proceedings in fact finding and 

motion practices on the identical or substantially identical factual and legal issues. The results of 

the cases are also likely to be conflicting against each other. 

4. Furthermore, at the last Case Management Conference in this case, Defendants 

counsel stipulated to consolidate two cases and conduct the trial before this Court. 

5. As such, parties through their respective counsel hereby formally stipulate to 

consolidate this case Tang v. CCL Group Inc. (C06-7912 JL) and the case Cai v. CCL Group Inc. 

(C07-06444 WHA), and conduct the consolidated cases before this Court.
