Plaintiffs, WILLIE HOLSTON and ANGELA HOLSTON, and Defendants,

SOLANO CAROLINA PARTNERS, L.P. and JOHN STEWART COMPANY,

submit the following Joint Stipulation and request that the Court continue the hearing 

date on Defendants’ motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint (the “Motion”).

WHEREAS, on February 7, 2020, Plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint 

(“FAC”) for disability discrimination, damages and injunctive relief against

Defendants, SOLANO CAROLINA PARTNERS, L.P. and JOHN STEWART 

COMPANY.

WHEREAS on or about February 7, 2020 the parties stipulated to refer this 

matter to the Court’s Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program (“VDRP”) pursuant to 

Local Rule 271 and filed a stipulation with the Court accordingly. 

WHEREAS on February 20, 2020, the Court ordered this matter referred to 

VDRP. 

WHEREAS on or about March 12, 2020 the parties stipulated to utilize the 

services of Carolyn Burnette to serve as mediator in this matter. 

WHEREAS on March 31, 2020, the clerk of the Court notified Ms. Burnette 

that the parties had selected her to serve as mediator in this matter. 

WHEREAS on April 2, 2020, the clerk notified the parties that Ms. Burnette’s 

office was not conducting in person mediations due to the COVID-19 pandemic but 

that a mediation may be had telephonically. 

WHEREAS counsel have agreed to hold negotiations telephonically with Ms. 

Burnette serving as mediator, however, a date for the mediation has not yet been 

selected. The parties anticipate a mediation taking place sometime in May or June 

2020.

WHEREAS the parties would like to participate in a mediation prior to 

Plaintiffs’ opposition papers coming due and leave sufficient time for Plaintiff to file 

an opposition to the motion to dismiss the FAC if the matter does not settle at the 

time of the mediation.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties through their
