PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR CLASS 

CERTIFICATION 

CASE NO. 2:15-CV-00081 MCE-CMK 

Plaintiff CHRISTINA CULLEY (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants LINCARE 

INC. and ALPHA RESPIRATORY INC. (“Defendants”), by and through their 

respective counsel, hereby stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed her Motion for Class Certification (“Motion”) on 

May 13, 2016; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s Motion is currently set to be heard on June 16, 2016; 

WHEREAS, counsel for Defendants previously had an arbitration set to 

commence on June 15, 2016 and end on June 16, 2016, and thus has a conflict with 

the hearing date for Plaintiff’s Motion; 

WHEREAS, on May 17, 2016, in conjunction with Plaintiff’s Motion, 

Defendants noticed the depositions of three declarants whom Plaintiff submitted 

declarations in support of her Motion; 

WHEREAS, on May 18, 2016, the Parties held a mediation session with Joel 

Grossman. While the mediation did not result in settlement, the Parties agreed to 

provide additional time to determine whether a class-wide settlement is possible; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have conferred and believe that a continuance of the 

hearing and concurrent briefing deadlines for Plaintiff’s Motion is warranted to 

accommodate Defendants’ counsel’s schedule and to provide a sufficient amount of 

time for Defendants consider whether settlement is possible; 

WHEREAS, this is the first request for a continuance by either Party; 

NOW, THEREFORE, and pursuant to E.D. Cal. Civ. L.R. 230, the Parties 

hereby stipulate and agree, and respectfully request the Court to order that the 

hearing date for Plaintiff’s Motion be continued to June 23, 2016, and that all 

Opposition and Reply briefing deadlines shall be set accordingly based on that 

continued date. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
