STIPULATION FOR LEAVE TO FILE SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT, EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO SECOND AMENDED

COMPLAINT, AND LEAVE TO FILE THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT – CASE NO. 4:16-CV-02089-JSW 

Gibson, Dunn & 

Crutcher LLP 

Pursuant to Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Local Rule 7-7, and Local 

Rule 6-1, the undersigned counsel of record for Plaintiffs Christopher McQueen, James O’Neal and 

Donnie Cummings (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and Defendants Chevron Corporation and Chevron 

U.S.A. Inc. (“Defendants”) jointly file this Stipulation and agree as follows: 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint on June 9, 2016; 

WHEREAS Defendants responded to Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint with a Motion to 

Dismiss and Motion to Strike Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint (“Motion to Dismiss”), (ECF No. 

31), which is currently noticed for hearing on August 12, 2016; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint on July 11, 2016, (ECF No. 38); 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs’ deadline to respond to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss is July 14, 

2016; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs assert that they have initiated exhaustion of their administrative 

remedies under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), Cal. Lab. Code § 2699, et seq.; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs intend to file a Third Amended Complaint after their PAGA exhaustion 

period runs, which they have stated will be on or after September 12, 2016; 

WHEREAS the parties have agreed that, in the interest of efficiency for the parties and the 

Court, Defendants: (a) shall withdraw their motion to dismiss, preserving all rights to respond to the 

Second Amended Complaint or Third Amended Complaint through a motion to dismiss; (b) shall not 

be required to respond to the Second Amended Complaint unless Plaintiffs state that a Third 

Amended Complaint will not be filed, in which case Defendants will respond to the Second Amended 

Complaint within 14 days of notification that a Third Amended Complaint will not be filed; and (c) 

shall respond to Plaintiffs’ Third Amended Complaint within 14 days of its filing; 

WHEREAS the Case Management Conference in this matter is set for July 29, 2016, and the 

parties have agreed not to request a continuance of the Case Management Conference; and 

WHEREAS the parties have reached no agreement as to whether the litigation should be 

stayed pending Defendants’ motion to dismiss, and all parties therefore retain all rights and 

arguments in that regard. 

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED THAT:
