Plaintiffs LaSandra Hillson, Steven Bohler, and Ashley Schmidt, and Defendant Kelly

Services, Inc., by their respective attorneys and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and L.R. 3-2(h),

hereby enter the following stipulation, which requests transfer of this action to the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Detroit Division.

Plaintiffs filed this action on July 18, 2014 in the Northern District of California. The

Parties now jointly stipulate as follows: (1) this case could have been brought in Eastern District

of Michigan, Detroit Division; (2) venue is proper in the Eastern District of Michigan, Detroit

Division; and (3) without Plaintiffs conceding the validity of any such clause or documents,

Defendant has produced documents including a forum selection clause that sets forth that

disputes between the parties must be litigated in the State of Michigan. Thus, the parties

stipulate that, under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) and L.R. 3-2(h), the Eastern District of Michigan,

Detroit Division, is the appropriate venue for this action, and that this action should be

transferred to that venue for the convenience of parties and witnesses and in the interests of

justice. The Case Management Conference currently scheduled for March 10, 2015 should be

taken off-calendar.

Accordingly, the parties have submitted contemporaneously herewith a [Proposed] Order

transferring this action to the Eastern District of Michigan, Detroit Division.

Stipulated and respectfully submitted,
