Civil No.06cv2533 BEN(AJB)

ORDER FOLLOWING SETTLEMENT

STATUS CONFERENCE

On June 29, 2007, the Court convened a Settlement Status Conference in the above entitled

action. Appearing were Dan Padova, Esq. and Rene Barge, Esq. on behalf of plaintiffs; Aaron Buckley,

Esq., Fred Plevin, Esq. and Paul Van Hoomissen, Esq. on behalf of defendant.

The state court settlement relating to the California plaintiffs in this case is going to a preliminary approval hearing in the Los Angeles Superior Court in July 10, 2007. Plaintiffs in this case were

surprised to learn that settlement would include a waiver of any FLSA claims. That would have a direct

effect on the class related to this case. Until those issues are sorted out, it is not time to set the

Mandatory Settlement Conference in this case.

Defense counsel also raises the concern that the motion for class certification set for July 30,

2007 may be premature in light of proceedings in Los Angeles. The matter is now on Judge Benitez'

calendar, plaintiffs object to any change in the current date, and the degree to which the matter is to be

continued, delayed, or otherwise changed will need to be brought to Judge Benitez by motion.

The Court sets another telephonic Case Management Conference for August 30, 2007 at 9:30

a.m. Plaintiff's counsel to initiate the call. At that time, the Court will evaluate the pending proceedings

and set a settlement conference date as appropriate.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 29, 2007
