STIPULATION

CASE NO. 14-CV-00173-SC

WHEREAS, the Third Amended Complaint filed on June 1, 2015, among other things, 

lists 11 additional plaintiffs whom plaintiffs’ counsel contend were “drawn from the existing 

plaintiffs in this case;”

WHEREAS, plaintiffs’ counsel offered that they would treat the Discovery as if it were 

served on those 11 persons on June 1, 2015, without the need for defendant to re-serve the 

Discovery, and defendant accepted that offer without prejudice to its response to the Third 

Amended Complaint and without conceding its propriety, 

Now, therefore, the parties hereby stipulate as follows:

1. The Discovery identified above shall be deemed served as of June 1, 2015, on the 11 

individuals referred to above.

2. This is without prejudice to defendant’s rights and remedies with respect to filing of 

the Third Amended Complaint and without prejudice to plaintiffs’ position that the 11 plaintiffs 

were named pursuant to stipulation dated March 15, 2015. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 5-1(i)(3), I, Robert A. Mittelstaedt, attest that concurrence in filing 

this document has been obtained from the other signatory.
