REBECCA ZWICKER,

Plaintiff,

v.

FOOD MANAGEMENT PARTNERS, INC., ET 

AL.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01979-YGR 

ORDER REQUIRING JOINT STATEMENT

Re: Dkt. No. 8

On June 5, 2015, defendants filed a motion to dismiss or stay proceedings based on a firstfiled action they argue is “completely duplicative” of the instant case. (Dkt. No. 8 at 1.) In 

response thereto, plaintiff noted that after she filed this lawsuit, defendant Catalina Restaurant 

Group, Inc. provided her with a signed copy of an arbitration agreement between her and the 

company. (Dkt. No. 14 at 2.) In light of her receipt of this agreement, she stated her present 

intention to “pursue her claims in arbitration.” (Id.) Thus, plaintiff does not oppose defendants’ 

motion to stay this case, and in fact independently requested imposition of a stay “pending 

Plaintiff’s request to arbitrate the matter pursuant to her arbitration agreement.” (Id.) Defendants 

did not file a reply brief by the deadline. However, on June 22, 2015, after the case was 

reassigned, defendants re-noticed the motion to be heard by the undersigned.1 In light of these 

circumstances, the Court hereby ORDERS the parties to file a joint statement by July 15, 2015, 

advising the Court as to the status of the potential arbitration and, to the extent they agree, 

 

1

The Court notes that defendants improperly re-noticed the motion for a date listed as 

unavailable on the Court’s calendar. Therefore, if the parties do not reach a stipulation disposing 

of the pending motion, defendants shall re-notice it for an available date.
