UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EMILY KOZLOW, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

HANGTIME, INC., 

Defendant. 

Case No. 14-cv-02249-YGR 

ORDER IN ADVANCE OF CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Having reviewed the parties’ Joint Case Management Conference Statement (Dkt. No. 34), 

and time being of the essence as non-expert discovery closes on February 13, 2015, the Court 

hereby issues the following orders and responses to an informal request set forth therein: 

1. Class Certification: The Court declines to entertain an oral motion as to the adequacy 

of a class certification motion and declines to find that the class allegations should be 

stricken for failure of the plaintiff to bring a class certification motion last fall. The 

parties jointly advised the Court that they believed this case would be resolved as part 

of a multi-district litigation (Dkt. No. 29), which apparently did not happen (Dkt. No. 

34). Given that the Court did not impose a hard deadline for the motion in its 

scheduling order (Dkt. No. 32), the defendant could have sought the Court’s assistance 

last fall and did not. 

2. Settlement Conference: The parties are hereby REFERRED to Magistrate Judge 

Joseph Spero for a mandatory settlement conference to be held on March 19, 2015. 

Magistrate Judge Spero will contact the parties directly. 

3. Order to Show Cause: An Order to Show Cause hereby issues as to why each party 

should not be sanctioned for failing to comply with this Court’s Case Management and
