Case No.: C-05-3403-CRB

NOTICE OF AND STIPULATION

REGARDING SETTLEMENT AND 

CASE SCHEDULING FOR MOTION 

FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF 

CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT; AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER

Complaint Filed: August 22, 2006

Trial Date: Not Set

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

the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

On or about October 5, 2006 the parties began a mediation before retired District Court 

Judge Fern Smith from JAMS. On or about January 3, 2007, the parties reached an agreement in 

principle for the Settlement of the nationwide class action filed by Plaintiff against Wells Fargo & 

Co. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) for the class alleged in the Amended Class 

Action Complaint in this action. The parties need additional time to complete the paperwork 

necessary for the filing of a Motion for Preliminary Approval of the Class Action settlement in 

accordance with Rule 23. Accordingly, the parties believe that a stay of all pending pretrial 

deadlines is warranted and anticipate that Plaintiff will be able to file his Motion for Preliminary 

Approval of the Class Action Settlement by no later than February 28, 2007. This stay of pretrial

proceedings and establishment of a schedule to begin the Court’s review of the parties settlement 

would be in the interests of judicial efficiency. The parties, through their respective counsel, 

therefore stipulate as follows.

1. All current deadlines, including but not limited to discovery deadlines and motion 

filing deadlines shall be stayed indefinitely or until further Order of the Court;

2. The hearing for Wells Fargo’s motion for a protective order, currently set for 

January 5, 2007, and the hearing on Plaintiff’s motion for class certification, 

currently set for February 23, 2007, shall be taken off calendar;

3. A hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Approval of the Class Action 

Settlement shall be set on March 16, 2007 or such other date as set by the Court;

4. The parties reserve the right to request an earlier date for hearing on the Motion 

for Preliminary Approval of the Class Action Settlement, so long as Plaintiff’s 

motion is filed no less than 14 days prior to the hearing date set forth in the 

motion.
