UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEAN ALEXANDER, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

FEDEX GROUND PACKAGE SYSTEM,

INC.,

Defendant.

___________________________________/

No. C-05-0038 EMC

ORDER RE SUPPLEMENTAL

BRIEFING RE JOINT SUBMISSION;

AND EX PARTE MOTION TO

INTERVENE AND FOR

APPOINTMENT

(Docket Nos. 134-35)

This order addresses two filings that have recently been made in the above-referenced case.

First, regarding the parties’ joint submission filed on August 20, 2015, see Docket No. 134,

the Court hereby orders supplemental briefing. More specifically, the parties shall address why the

meal-and-rest-break claims prior to August 2011 are time barred – particularly as a meal-and-restbreak claim was included as part of the original class action complaint filed in 2004. See, e.g., Am.

Pipe & Constr. Co. v. Utah, 414 U.S. 538, 554 (1974) (stating that “the commencement of a class

action suspends the applicable statute of limitations as to all asserted members of the class who

would have been parties had the suit been permitted to continue as a class action”). The

supplemental brief shall be filed by August 28, 2015, at 9:00 a.m.

Second, regarding the ex parte application filed by Henrik Zohrabians in which he seeks to

intervene and to be appointed as a subclass representative, see Docket No. 135, the Court shall not

issue, at this time, any rulings on the requests for relief. However, the Court shall permit Mr.

Zohrabians to make an appearance at the September 3, 2015, hearing so that the Court may address

how to proceed with the motions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 24, 2015
