WHEREAS, on August 26, 2015, Plaintiffs Linda Cheslow and Mike Xavier (“Plaintiffs”) 

filed a Class Action Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief against Mars, Inc. and Mars 

Chocolate North America, LLC (“Mars”) in the Superior Court of California, San Francisco County 

for violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, and Consumer Legal 

Remedies Act; 

 WHEREAS, on September 28, 2015, Mars removed Plaintiffs’ action to the United States 

District Court for the Northern District of California; 

 WHEREAS, on October 5, 2015, Mars answered Plaintiffs’ Complaint asserting ten 

affirmative defenses to Plaintiffs’ claims; 

 WHEREAS, the parties have resolved Plaintiffs’ claims; 

 WHEREAS, the parties agree to the herein Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice Pursuant 

to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) with each party bearing its own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses; 

and 

 WHEREAS, there has been no class certified in this action and this Stipulation only 

dismisses Plaintiffs’ individual claims with prejudice, so Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(e) is not implicated by 

dismissal of Plaintiffs’ action as no absent putative class members will be bound by this dismissal. 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that all claims in Plaintiffs’ Complaint 

be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
