STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING STATUS CONFERENCE AND 

CORRESPONDING DEADLINES

Case No. 2:16-CV-00158-WBS-AC

Plaintiff SHASTA LINEN SUPPLY, INC. (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants APPLIED 

UNDERWRITERS INC., APPLIED UNDERWRITERS CAPTIVE RISK ASSURANCE, INC.,

CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMPANY, INC., and APPLIED RISK SERVICES, INC.,

(“Defendants”) (collectively “the Parties”), through their counsel stipulate as follows:

RECITALS

1. Plaintiff filed the Class Action Complaint initiating this action on or about January 

26, 2016. Plaintiff did not serve Defendants with the original Class Action Complaint.

2. Plaintiff filed its First Amended Class Action Complaint (“FAC”) on or about April 

8, 2016.

3. Defendants were served with a summons and the FAC on April 12, 2016.

4. Pursuant to the Court’s January 26, 2016 Order Re: Status (Pretrial Scheduling) 

Conference, a Status Conference was originally scheduled for May 9, 2016.

5. Pursuant to stipulation, the Court continued the initial status conference to June 6, 

2016. Dkt. No. 15. 

6. On May 13, 2016, by minute order, Court continued that status conference to July 18, 

2016. Dkt. No. 20.

7. On June 7, 2016, the Court entered a Related Case Order, relating this action with 

another putative class action involving the same potential class members and same defendants, 

entitled Pet Food Express Ltd. v. Applied Underwriters, Inc., No. 2:16-cv-01211 WBS AC. 

8. The Court has scheduled the initial status conference in the Pet Food case for 

September 26, 2016 at 1:30 PM. 

9. Given the fact that the two putative class actions involve similar parties and claims, 

the Parties agree that it would be beneficial to continue the initial status conference in this case to 

coincide with that in Pet Food. That way, the parties in both actions can coordinate case 

management and scheduling issues. 

10. This is the Parties’ second request for a continuance of the Status Conference and 

corresponding deadlines. The continuation will not affect any other scheduled dates or deadlines.
