UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEITH GUTHRIE,

Plaintiff,

v.

ITS LOGISTICS, LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:21-cv-00729-AWI-EPG

MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL

On May 5, 2021, Defendant removed this action from the Merced County Superior Court, 

with the complaint alleging class action and Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claims 

relating to alleged labor violations. (ECF No. 1). 

On August 6, 2021, the Court issued an order setting a case schedule. (ECF No. 15). On 

December 9, 2021, the parties filed a stipulation and proposed order to vacate the case schedule. 

(ECF No. 16). As grounds, the parties stated that they were scheduled to participate in a 

mediation on March 8, 2022, and vacating the case schedule would allow them to focus on 

settlement efforts “without incurring substantial costs to conduct discovery and prepare briefing 

for class certification.” 

On December 10, 2021, the Court granted the stipulation and directed the parties to file a 

joint status report regarding the results of their mediation. (ECF No. 17). On March 16, 2022, the 

parties filed their joint status report, stating that they have “reached a class and PAGA settlement 

of the claims in this action [and] are currently working to finalize and execute a long-form

(ECF No. 18, p. 2). 

Accordingly, based on the parties’ notice of settlement, IT IS ORDERED that the parties 

shall file their motion for preliminary approval not later than June 15, 2022.
