The following is hereby stipulated and agreed, by and among the parties, Plaintiff Joseph 

L. Schofield (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”) (collectively, the 

“Parties”). 

WHEREAS, on October 17, 2017, Plaintiff filed this action against Delta in the Superior 

Court of California, County of San Francisco, alleging claims for relief under the federal Fair 

Credit Reporting Act on behalf of a putative nationwide class and related California state law 

claims on behalf of putative California classes; 

WHEREAS, on December 18, 2017, Delta was served with the Summons and Complaint; 

WHEREAS, on January 16, 2018, Delta filed its Answer to the Complaint; 

WHEREAS, on January 17, 2018, Delta removed the case to this Court on the basis of 

federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and supplemental jurisdiction under 28 

U.S.C. § 1367; 

WHEREAS, the Parties are exploring potential early resolution of this case and on April 

18, 2018, submitted a stipulation requesting continuance of the Initial Case Management 

Conference from April 24, 2018 to June 19, 2018 (ECF No. 11); 

WHEREAS, on April 19, 2018, the Court granted the Parties’ stipulation as modified by 

its order and continued the Initial Case Management Conference to June 21, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. 

(ECF No. 14); 

WHEREAS, on that same day, the Court amended its order and continued the Initial Case 

Management Conference to June 21, 2018 at 9:30 a.m., ordered private mediation to be

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to private mediation with mediator Steven J.

WHEREAS, to facilitate a productive mediation, the Parties have agreed to the following 

limited discovery: 

o Plaintiff agrees to appear for his deposition on July 17, 2018. The Parties agree to 

produce documents relevant to their claims and defenses in advance of Plaintiff’s 

scheduled deposition by July 10, 2018; and 

o Two days in advance of Plaintiff’s deposition, Delta agrees to provide Plaintiff 

with the following documents and information: exemplars of the Fair Credit 

Reporting Act disclosure and consent forms Delta has presented to putative class 

members since October 17, 2012, the approximate time periods when Delta has 

used each form(s) since October 17, 2012, and the total number of putative class 

members applicable to each form since October 17, 2012; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff agrees that the time for Delta to respond to the discovery requests 

Plaintiff has propounded in this case, absent some other agreement by the Parties, will continue to 

be suspended through and including thirty (30) calendar days after the date the Parties complete 

private mediation with Mr. Rottman; 

WHEREAS, Delta intends to file a motion to transfer venue under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) 

from this Court to the United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, on the grounds 

that litigating this action in the Northern District of Georgia is more convenient for the parties and 

the witnesses and furthers the interest of justice, a request which Plaintiff opposes; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff represents and agrees that by participating in an early mediation of 

the case Delta is not waiving or abandoning any arguments it has that the case should be 

transferred to the USDC, Northern District of Georgia, and Plaintiff further represents and agrees 

that he will not use Delta’s participation in an early mediation against it if it later files its motion to 

transfer venue; 

WHEREAS, to conserve the Parties’ and the Court’s resources, the Parties agree that the 

Court should continue the initial case management conference from June 21, 2018, to August 30, 

2018, which is two weeks after the date the Parties will be participating in private mediation;
