TO THE HONORABLE COURT AND THE CLERK OF THE COURT: 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiffs Julian Mena, Todd Schreiber, Nate Coolidge, Ernesto 

Mejia, and Byron McKnight (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and Defendants Uber Technologies, Inc. and 

Rasier, LLC (collectively “Defendants”) (collectively with Plaintiffs, the “Parties”) respectfully request 

that this Court extend the deadlines set forth in the April 25, 2017 Scheduling Order by one week to 

allow the Parties to complete their updates and revisions to the settlement documents. 

The Parties have agreed to a new class definition, a new method of allocating the settlement 

between class members, and a new process for class members to receive their share of the settlement, 

each of which requires careful revision to the settlement documents. In addition, the Parties have 

reached a new agreement with a settlement administrator that will reduce administrative and distribution 

costs to the class by several hundred thousand dollars, but need to update the settlement documents to 

reflect that new process. Plaintiffs also need additional time to map the damages analysis in their 

preliminary approval motion to the new class size and the revised calculations based on the settlement 

structure and administrative cost changes. The Parties thus seek one additional week to ensure that they 

can fully implement the agreed upon changes in the settlement documents. 

By and through their respective counsel of record, the Parties hereby stipulate and request that 

the Court enter an Order as follows: 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs commenced this action on January 6, 2015 [Dkt. 1]; 

WHEREAS, on February 11, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class 

Action Settlement (herein the “Motion”) [Dkt. 75-4]; 

WHEREAS, on August 30, 2016, the Court issued its Order Denying Motion For Preliminary 

Approval Of Class Action Settlement (herein the “Denial Order”) [Dkt. 98]; 

WHEREAS, since the date of the Denial Order, the Parties have engaged in multiple mediation 

and settlement sessions; 

WHEREAS, the Parties attended a settlement conference before the Honorable Chief Magistrate 

Judge Joseph C. Spero on March 7, 2017; 

WHEREAS, the Court entered a Scheduling Order on April 25, 2017 that set a May 25, 2017 

deadline for Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of settlement, a June 8, 2017 deadline for

Defendants’ memorandum in support of preliminary approval, and a June 29, 2017 date for the 

preliminary approval hearing [Dkt. 121]; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to, inter alia, a new class definition and a new method of 

allocating settlement payments among class members, both of which change the structure of the 

settlement and require extensive revisions to the settlement documents; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have negotiated a new process for class members to receive their share 

of the settlement, and have reached an agreement with a settlement administrator that will reduce 

administrative and distribution costs to the class by several hundred thousand dollars, but need to update 

the settlement documents to reflect that new process; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs need additional time to map the damages analysis in their preliminary 

approval motion to the new class size and the revised calculations based on the settlement structure and 

administrative cost changes; 

WHEREAS, the Parties would greatly benefit from an additional week to fully implement the 

above revisions in the settlement documents; and 

WHEREAS, no trial date has been set for this case; 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Parties, by and through their 

undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate, agree subject to Court approval, and request that the Court enter 

an Order extending the deadlines in the April 25, 2017 Scheduling Order by one week, as set forth in the 

accompanying Proposed Order.
