On March 8, 2016, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit granted 

Defendant’s petition to appeal the district court’s December 22, 2015 order granting class 

certification. Appellant CSK Auto, Inc. filed its opening brief on July 13, 2016. Appellee Osmin 

Melgar filed their answering brief of September 15, 2016. The court granted Appellant’s request 

for an extension to file a reply brief by October 17, 2016. 

 Additionally, Plaintiffs’ counsel’s office is closed from October 17, 2016 through 

October 25, 2016 for the Jewish holiday of Sukkos. 

In light of the appeal before the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and 

Plaintiffs’ counsel’s unavailability, the Parties respectfully request that this Court continue the 

October 18, 2016 Status Conference to November 10, 2016 at 10:30am, and that the Parties be 

allowed to appear telephonically. Plaintiffs’ counsel may be reached at 310-203-3362, and 

Defendant’s counsel may be reached at 619-236-1551.
