Defendants. 

Case No. 16-cv-02155-YGR 

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING 

IN PART STIPULATION TO DISMISS CERTAIN 

CLAIMS AND STAY ACTION PENDING 

MEDIATION

Re: Dkt. No. 28 

On September 19, 2016, the parties filed a joint stipulation dismissing certain claims and 

requesting that the Court stay the action until February 3, 2016 pending mediation. Additionally, 

the parties have requested that the Court continue the Case Management Conference currently set 

for October 3, 2016 to a date after the expiration of the stay. Having carefully considered the 

parties’ request, the Court ORDERS as follows: The Court DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE 

plaintiff’s class claims and plaintiff’s claims against defendant Amazon.com, Inc. The Court 

DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the parties’ request to stay the action until February 3, 2016 and the 

parties’ request to continue the Case Management Conference. 

Given the changed nature of this case, the Court hereby sets a trial date in the fall of 2017 

as set forth below:
