II. JOINDER OF PARTIES/AMENDMENTS

Within 30 days from the date of this Order, plaintiffs

may amend the Complaint to allege a collective action pursuant to

the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-219. Aside from

this amendment, no further joinder of parties or amendments to

pleadings will be permitted except with leave of court, good

cause having been shown under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

16(b). See Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604

(9th Cir. 1992). 

III. JURISDICTION/VENUE

Jurisdiction is predicated upon federal question

jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. § 1331, based on plaintiff’s claims for

violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Venue is undisputed

and is hereby found to be proper.

IV. DISCOVERY 

The parties have indicated their intention to serve the

initial disclosures required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

26(a)(1) on August 6, 2010. If they have not already done so,

the parties shall serve the disclosures required by Rule 26(a)(1)

no later than August 23, 2010. 

The parties shall disclose experts and produce reports

in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2) by no

later than January 10, 2011. 

Although plaintiffs have indicated that they wish to

conduct discovery in phases, they have not presented the court

with a proposed timeline for these phases or a reason to believe

that phased discovery will serve the interests of convenience of

justice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d)(2). All discovery,

including depositions for preservation of testimony, is left

resolved by appropriate order if necessary and, where discovery

has been ordered, the order has been obeyed. All motions to

compel discovery must be noticed on the magistrate judge’s

restraining orders, or other emergency applications, shall be

against each defendant; and (3) the estimated number of trial

days.

In providing the plain, concise statements of

undisputed facts and disputed factual issues contemplated by

Local Rule 281(b)(3)-(4), the parties shall emphasize the claims

that remain at issue, and any remaining affirmatively pled

defenses thereto. If the case is to be tried to a jury, the

parties shall also prepare a succinct statement of the case,

which is appropriate for the court to read to the jury.

seven calendar days before the Settlement Conference counsel for
