follows:

WHEREAS, on March 6, 2019, CarMax filed its Motion to Compel Arbitration, Dismiss 

Class Claims, and Stay PAGA Claim Pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 3), or, in 

the Alternative, to Dismiss Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) (the 

“Motion to Compel”), setting the Motion to Compel for hearing on April 16, 2019;

to Compel to be heard in this Court on May 8, 2019, at 2:00 p.m.;

hearing in this Court on May 15, 2019, at 2:00 p.m.;
