Plaintiff,

vs.

WELLS FARGO & COMPANY and 

WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.,

Defendants.

Case No.: C-05-3403-CRB

STIPULATION REGARDING 

MEDIATION AND CASE 

SCHEDULING; AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER 

Complaint Filed: August 22, 2005

Trial Date: Not set

Plaintiff has brought this case as a putative nationwide class action alleging violations of 

the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

The parties have been engaging in discovery including written interrogatories, document 

production, and the deposition of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage’s corporate representative.

The parties have had preliminary settlement discussions and have agreed to go to 

mediation within 60 days, and intend to seek as a mediator a retired judge affiliated with JAMS. 

The parties believe that judicial efficiency would be served by staying this action for 

approximately sixty days while they engage in mediation in an effort to reach an early resolution. 

In the event that progress is made at the mediation, and the parties agree that additional efforts at 

resolution would be beneficial, the parties may seek an extension of the stay. Accordingly, the 

parties, through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows.
