JOINT STIPULATION & [PROPOSED] ORDER 

CASE NO. 2:09-CV-03601-FCD-GGH

Defendant RBC Capital Markets Corporation (“RBC”) and Plaintiff Carl R. Wright 

(“Wright”) (collectively, the “Parties”) submit the following Joint Stipulation and Proposed Order 

extending the time for RBC to file its Answer to Wright’s First Amended Complaint and the time 

for the Parties to file the Joint Pretrial Scheduling Conference Statement by thirty (30) days while 

the Parties attempt to reach an agreement settle this action in its entirety.

 1. Wright filed this putative class and representative action in the Sacramento County 

Superior Court on November 17, 2009, alleging various violations of the California Labor Code. 

The action was removed to this Court on December 29, 2009 pursuant to the Class Action 

Fairness Act of 2005. 

 2. On January 29, 2010, RBC filed its partial motion to dismiss or stay Wright’s First 

Amended Complaint. RBC’s motion was heard on June 4, 2010. On June 24, 2010, this Court 

issued its Memorandum and Order (“Order”) staying Wright’s fourth claim for relief and related 

derivative claims and dismissing Wright’s first claim for relief and derivative claims under the 

first-to-file rule. 

 3. The Order provided that RBC would answer the remaining allegations in the First 

Amended Complaint within twenty (20) days of the Order and that the Parties would file a Joint 

Pretrial Scheduling Conference Statement within thirty (30) days of the Order. 

 4. Based in part on the narrowing of issues and claims following the Court’s Order, 

the Parties are now engaged in settlement discussions and believe that there is a potential to reach 

an agreement to resolve this action in its entirety within the next thirty (30) days. 

 5. In order to avoid unnecessary attorneys’ fees and costs associated with the 

preparation and filing of RBC’s Answer and the Joint Pretrial Scheduling Conference Statement 

and focus on resolving this action in a timely fashion, the Parties agree that the deadlines to file 

RBC’s Answer and the Joint Pretrial Scheduling Conference Statement should be extended by 

thirty (30) days each. 

 6. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the deadline for RBC to file its Answer to 

Wright’s First Amended Complaint should be extended by thirty (30) days. RBC’s Answer to the 

First Amended Complaint will be filed no later than August 13, 2010. The Parties further agree
