2

Plaintiff ROXANNE KINNEY (“Plaintiff”), on behalf of herself and all others similarly 

situated, and Defendant NATIONAL EXPRESS TRANSIT SERVICES CORPORATION 

(“National Express” or “Defendant”) hereby stipulate and request as follows:

WHEREAS, on December 17, 2014 the Court issued a pretrial scheduling order (the 

“Order,” Dckt #9), which Order set deadlines for pre-certification discovery, expert witness 

disclosure, and any motion for class certification.

WHEREAS, following the exchange of formal and informal discovery the Parties have

agreed to attend a private mediation in San Francisco, CA overseen by Michael Dickstein. Mr. 

Dickstein is a nationally-recognized mediator of wage and hour class action lawsuits who has 

mediated hundreds of class actions across North America

WHEREAS, Mr. Dickstein’s schedule is booked far in advance, and the Parties’ have 

been unable to schedule a full-day mediation with Mr. Dickstein before November 3, 2015.

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that it would be most efficient for the Parties and the 

Court, if the deadlines in the Order were all continued approximately 120 days so as to allow the 

Parties to prepare for and pursue a mutually amenable resolution to their dispute prior to incurring 

additional fees and costs associated with litigation. 

THEREFORE, the Parties request that the Court:

1. Extend the Parties’ deadline to complete pre-certification discovery by 120 days, 

from September 17, 2015 to January 15, 2016;

2. Extend the Parties’ deadline to complete pre-certification expert witness disclosure 

by 120 days, from October 15, 2015 to February 12, 2016; and
