TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

Plaintiff James Richardson (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant THD AtHome Services, Inc., (“Defendant”) (collectively, the “Parties”), by and through 

their counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

WHEREAS, Plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to amend that is set 

for hearing on January 30, 2015; if the motion is granted, the amended complaint 

would add one (and perhaps two) additional defendants and an additional class 

claim for waiting time penalties under California Labor Code section 203;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff has filed a motion to amend the preliminary 

scheduling order which is set for hearing on January 30, 2015;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Defendant have discussed the time 

necessary to serve new parties, conduct mediation, and complete discovery in 

advance of a motion for class certification, as well as how the addition of new 

named defendant(s) might affect the present schedule;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Defendant have scheduled a mediation

session with Mr. David Rotman, which is set for March 10, 2015. This was the 

first available date on Mr. Rudy and the Parties’ schedules;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Defendant would like to extend the 

preliminary scheduling order to accommodate the time necessary to complete 

discovery for certification and attend mediation in advance of Plaintiff’s filing for 

certification;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff is unsure of the time he will need, if leave to 

amend is granted, to serve Measurecomp, LLC with a summons and complaint, 

and conduct necessary discovery as to Measurecomp;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Defendant believe the present schedule 

does not provide sufficient time to serve Measurecomp, LLC, conduct discovery 

as to Measurecomp, and attend mediation prior to class certification briefing, and
