ORDER

Having read and considered the Joint Stipulation to File Second Amended Complaint entered 

into and submitted by Plaintiff Viet Bui (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Sprint/United Management 

Company and Sprint Communications Company L.P. (“Defendants”) (collectively “the Parties”) on 

May 18, 2015, and finding good cause therefor, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that:

1. Plaintiff may file a Second Amended Complaint in the form attached as Exhibit 1 to 

the Parties’ Joint Stipulation to allege claims against Defendants for the failure to reimburse the Class 

Members for necessary business expenses as required by California Labor Code Section 2802 and the 

failure to properly compensate Class Members for overtime hours due to miscalculations of the Class 

Members’ regular rate of pay, and to add Christina Avalos-Reyes as an additional named Plaintiff and 

class representative. 

2. Defendants shall not be required to file a responsive pleading to the Second Amended 

Complaint. Immediately upon this Order entering the Second Amended Complaint, the allegations 

contained therein shall be deemed denied by Defendants and subject to all defenses asserted in 

Defendants’ Answer to Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint.

3. The Second Amended Complaint shall be deemed served on Defendants on the date the 

Second Amended Complaint is electronically filed with the Court. 

4. Pursuant to the Parties’ Joint Stipulation and Settlement Agreement, if the Court 

declines to grant final approval of the Parties’ settlement or if an appellate court invalidates the 

Parties’ settlement, the Second Amended Complaint shall be rendered null and void and the First 

Amended Complaint shall be deemed the operative Complaint in this Action. In such event, neither 

the fact that Defendants did not oppose the filing of the Second Amended Complaint, the terms of the 

Parties’ Stipulation, nor the allegations in the Second Amended Complaint shall be used or cited 

thereafter by any person or entity in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, any 

contested proceeding relating to the certification of any class contemplated by the Second Amended 

Complaint.
