Stipulation for an Order granting Plaintiff leave to file a Third Amended Complaint and to continue 

the status conference scheduled for February 1, 2024 pending completion of mediation, with reference 

to the following facts: 

WHEREAS, on September 10, 2021, Plaintiff filed a putative class action complaint against 

Defendants for violation of the Business & Professions Code Section 17200;

Complaint to add an additional class representative, David Garcia, as well as five additional claims 

(causes of action two to six of the proposed Third Amended Complaint (“TAC”)) (“Motion”). [Dkt. 

Nos. 71 and 71-2]. For the Court’s reference, a redlined copy of the TAC is attached at Dkt. No. 71-

currently set for February 1, 2024 at 1:30 p.m.;

Plaintiff to file a motion for class certification no later than May 31, 2024 (“Class Cert. Order”) [Dkt.

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to engage in private mediation in this case and have 

scheduled mediation for April 30, 2024 with Justice James Lambden (Ret.), who is an experienced 

wage-and-hour mediator; 

WHEREAS, in light of the Parties’ agreement to engage in private mediation and in order to conserve 

resources and to avoid unnecessary judicial intervention and law and motion practice, the Parties agree that 

in entering this stipulation, Defendant does not waive any of its rights and challenges in this case or any 

defenses or challenges it has or may have to the pleading and/or claims alleged therein based on the
