Plaintiffs Sean Leonard and Mel Mendieta (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendant FEDEX FREIGHT, INC. 

(“Defendant”) (collectively, the “Parties”), by and through their respective attorneys, pursuant to Eastern 

District Local Rules 143 and 144, stipulate and agree that good cause exists to continue the Parties’ 

original scheduling dates set by this Court, to dates following an order on Defendant’s Second Motion for 

Partial Judgment On The Pleadings (Doc. 21) and Motion To Stay (Doc. 26):

WHEREAS, on January 7, 2019, this Court issued an Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order (Doc. 7), 

setting initial scheduling dates in this case, e.g., service, Rule 26(f) conference, discovery cut-off, etc.; 

WHEREAS, following this order on July 15, 2019, Plaintiff served written discovery, including 

inspection demands, requests for admissions, and interrogatories, and the Parties met and conferred 

regarding the same through October 2019, but were unable to reach an agreement;

WHEREAS, on September 30, 2019, the Court granted Defendant’s motion for judgment on the 

pleadings and issued an order dismissing Plaintiffs’ Fifth Cause of Action in its entirety and the Sixth 

Cause of action to the extent it was based on a union retaliation theory (Doc. 18 at 6:11-13);

WHEREAS, on October 10, 2019, Plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint (Doc. 19); 

WHEREAS, on October 17, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a Motion to Compel Discovery (Doc. 20), which 

has been fully briefed by the Parties, and was scheduled to be heard by the Honorable Magistrate Judge 

Kendall J. Newman on November 14, 2019;

WHEREAS, on October 24, 2019, Defendant filed its Second Motion for Partial Judgment On the 

Pleadings Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) and (c) (Doc. 21), which has been fully briefed by the 

Parties;

WHEREAS, on October 28, 2019, the Honorable Morrison C. England, Jr. issued a minute order 

(Doc. 23), vacating the hearing date on Defendant’s Second Motion for Partial Judgment on the Pleadings

and stating the Court would rule on the matter without oral argument, in accordance with Local Rule 

230(g);

WHEREAS, on November 5, 2019, Defendant filed its Motion to Stay Case Pending Settlement 

Proceedings in Related Action (Doc. 26), which has been fully briefed by the Parties;

WHEREAS, on November 7, 2019, the Honorable Morrison C. England, Jr. issued a minute order 

(Doc. 30), vacating the hearing date on Defendant’s Motion to Stay and stating the Court would rule on 

the matter without oral argument, in accordance with Local Rule 230(g);

WHEREAS, on November 13, 2019, the Honorable Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman vacated 

the hearing date on Plaintiffs’ motion to compel and denied the motion to compel without prejudice, 

stating, “After Judge England has issued the order resolving Defendant’s 12(c) motion and its motion to 

stay (ECF Nos. 21, 26), Plaintiffs may refile their motion to compel discovery, appropriately altering it to 

conform to the law of the case as dictated by Judge England’s orders”;

WHEREAS, the Court’s ruling on Defendant’s Second Motion For Partial Judgment On The 

Pleadings Pursuant To Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) and (c) (Doc. 21), and Motion To Stay Case Pending 

Settlement Proceedings in Related Action (Doc. 26) may impact the claims at issue in the litigation, the 

scope of discovery, and scheduling of discovery and motions;

WHEREAS, in order to preserve time and resources, the Parties believe that all previously set case 

deadlines and dates by the Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order should be deferred until after the Court’s ruling 

on the pending Second Motion For Partial Judgment On The Pleadings Pursuant To Fed. R. Civ. P. 

12(b)(1) and (c) (Doc. 21), and Motion To Stay Case Pending Settlement Proceedings in Related Action

(Doc. 26);

WHEREAS, the Parties stipulate and agree to present suggested new dates in a Joint Scheduling 

Report within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the Court’s Order ruling on the pending Motions.

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
