1. As the Court’s records will reflect, this action was filed by Plaintiffs on January 27, 

2015 [Dkt. No. 1] to compel Defendants’ compliance with its obligations to pay monthly 

employee contributions to Plaintiffs, along with payment of amounts found due in an audit 

inspection of Defendants’ payroll records, pursuant to Defendants’ Collective Bargaining 

Agreement. 

2. Defendants filed an Answer to the Complaint on February 25, 2015 [Dkt. No. 14]. 

3. On May 15, 2015, Defendants served their first set of Requests for Production of 

Documents (the “Requests”) on Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs are currently in the process of gathering any 

documents responsive to Defendants’ Requests, and counsel for the parties have agreed on a 

production date of no later than June 19, 2015. 

4. In addition, on June 3, 2015, counsel for the parties participated in an ADR Phone 

Conference with Howard Herman, Director of the Court’s ADR Program. During the 

aforementioned ADR Conference, counsel for the parties agreed to mediate this matter by 

September 1, 2015. This allows Defendants ample time to receive and review the documents 

produced by Plaintiffs in response to Defendants’ Requests, and allows the parties to further their 

discussions towards resolution of the matter outside of litigation. 

5. Thus, the parties jointly request a continuance of the Case Management Conference 

so as to allow the parties to facilitate the production of documents, and to further facilitate

settlement of this matter, either informally or through mediation by the September 1, 2015 

deadline. Both parties desire to resolve this matter without the need for further and unnecessary 

litigation.

6. There are no issues that need to be addressed by the parties at the currently 

scheduled Case Management Conference. In the interest of conserving costs, as well as the 

Court’s time and resources, Plaintiffs and Defendants jointly and respectfully request that the Case 

Management Conference, currently scheduled for June 16, 2015, be continued for approximately 

ninety (90) days, to allow sufficient time for the parties to continue their attempts to resolve this 

matter outside of litigation. 

SO STIPULATED.
