JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

Case Nos. 13-cv-3440, 13-cv-05295, 13-cv-05296, and 14-cv-01347 

ACTIVE 205031793v.1

Plaintiffs in the Hansell and Gandhi cases, Plaintiff in the Browning and Blaqmoor cases, 

and Defendants TracFone Wireless, Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (collectively, the “Parties”) 

respectfully submit this Joint Stipulation in connection with the Unopposed Motion for Preliminary 

Approval of Class Action Settlement that is currently scheduled to be heard on February 12, 2015, at 

1:30 PM. 

On February 2, 2015, the Court’s clerk contacted counsel for the Parties and informed them 

that if the Parties were able to file the proposed settlement agreement and motion for preliminary 

approval by noon, Friday, February 6, 2015, then the Court would be able to keep on calendar the 

status conference and hearing currently scheduled for February 12, 2015, but that if the Parties were 

to later file preliminary approval papers, then it would be re-scheduled a week later, that is, at 1:30 

p.m., February 19, 2015. 

The Parties have reached agreement on the terms of the settlement and are awaiting final 

signatures from one of the defendants, which is expected by the end of the week. Additionally, the 

Parties are scheduled to confer with the proposed class administrator (Analytics) and the proposed 

class notice administrator (HF Media) this Friday afternoon, who likely will be submitting 

declarations in support of the Unopposed Motion for Settlement Preliminary Approval of Class 

Action Settlement. 

Accordingly, the Parties respectfully submit that the Court should continue the CMC and 

hearing currently scheduled for 1:30 p.m., February 12, 2015, until the next week. Given the travel 

schedules of Defendants’ lead counsel, the Browning plaintiff’s counsel, both of whom are located 

out of state, they respectfully request that the hearing be put on the Court’s calendar for the morning 

of February 20, 2015. If the Court is unavailable at that time, then all counsel will make themselves 

available for the date and time previously indicated by the Court, 1:30 p.m., February 19, 2015.
