Case No. 2:21-CV-01633-DJC-AC – 3 – 

JOINT STIPULATION FOR AN ORDER TO DISMISS THE SIXTH CAUSE OF ACTION AND LIMIT THE 

APPLICABLE LIMITATIONS PERIOD AS TO THE FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION; ORDER 

REED SMITH LLP 

A limited liability partnership formed in the State of Delaware 

Plaintiffs Glenn Fite (“plaintiff Fite”) and David Garcia (“Plaintiff Garcia”) (“Plaintiffs”) and 

Defendant Sysco Sacramento, Inc. (“Defendant”) (collectively, the “Parties”), by and through their 

respective counsel, hereby enter into the following stipulation with reference to the following facts: 

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

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

WHEREAS, on January 11, 2023, Plaintiff Fite filed a First Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, on February 13, 2023, Plaintiff Fite filed a Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”); 

WHEREAS, on December 5, 2023, Plaintiff Fite filed a motion for leave to amend the 

Operative 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 

For Leave”) [Dkt. Nos. 71 and 71-2]; 

WHEREAS, on January 24, 2024, Plaintiffs filed the operative Third Amended Complaint 

which alleges the following claims: (1) Violation of Unfair Competition Law, California Business & 

Professions Code Sections 17200, et seq.; (2) Failure to pay minimum wages for all hours worked in 

violation of Labor Code Sections 1194, 1194.2, and 1197; (3) Failure to provide rest periods in 

violation of Labor Code Section 226.7; (4) Failure to provide meal periods in violation of Labor Code 

Sections 226.7 and 512; (5) Failure to timely pay wages due at termination in violation of Labor Code 

Sections 201-203; and (6) Failure to provide accurate wage statements in violation of Labor Code 

Sections 226, 1174, 1175; 

WHEREAS, following meet and confer discussions regarding Defendant’s anticipated Motion 

for Judgment On the Pleadings as to Plaintiffs’ Third Amended Complaint based in part on its 

argument that Plaintiff Garcia’s penalties claims do not relate back and time-barred, Plaintiffs agreed 

to dismiss the sixth cause of action for failure to provide accurate wage statements in violation of 

Labor Code Sections 226, 1174, 1175 (“Wage Statement Claim”) and further agreed to limit the 

liability period for the fifth cause of action for failure to timely pay wages due at termination in 

violation of Labor Code Sections 201-203 (“Waiting Time Penalties Claim”) based on the filing date 

of the Motion For Leave. The Parties were unable to reach an agreement as to Defendant’s position 

that the minimum wage, meal and rest period, and derivative claims are preempted.;
