CASE NO: 2:12-CV-01114-JAM-EFB 1. 

On April 16, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., this matter was before the court for hearing on 

the Plaintiffs’ motion to compel responses to discovery. ECF No. 46-1. For the 

reasons stated on the record, plaintiffs’ motion to compel is granted. At the hearing, 

the parties agreed to a procedure to be used by defendant to respond to Plaintiffs’ 

Interrogatory 14, and Plaintiffs’ Request for Production Number 11, Set Four, which 

this order hereby adopts. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant 

shall respond to Plaintiffs’ Interrogatory 14, by serving a supplemental response 

which states the total number of putative class members and Request for Production 

Number 11, Set Four, by producing contact information for the putative class 

members, as defined therein, to a Third Party Administrator, in accordance with the 

following: 

1. Plaintiffs have selected Gilardi & Co., LLC as a Third Party 

Administrator for use in this matter. 

2. Within ten (10) days of entry of this Order, Defendant shall produce to 

the Third Party Administrator the names, last-known address, last-known telephone 

number, and last-known personal email address, if any, of the putative class members. 

3. Within three (3) days of receipt of the putative class member contact 

information, the Third Party Administrator shall mail to each member the parties’ 

agreed-upon “Belaire West” disclosure opt-out notice, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, 

along with a postcard for return by putative class members who do not wish to have 

their names and contact information provided to Plaintiffs’ counsel, at the sole cost of 

Plaintiffs. 

4. Each putative class member shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of 

mailing of the “Belaire West” disclosure opt-out notice to return the postcard opting 

out of the disclosure of the member’s name and contact information. The postmark on 

the correspondence sent by the putative class member shall be considered the return 

date for this opt-out period.

5. Within seven (7) days after the 15-day opt-out period has concluded, the 

Third Party Administrator shall compile a list of putative class members who did not 

opt out of the disclosure, and provide that list to Plaintiffs’ counsel. 

6. The putative class member names and contact information produced in 

accordance with this Order shall be used only for the purpose of class discovery in this 

lawsuit, and shall not be used for any other purpose and shall not be disseminated to 

any third party, other than the Third Party Administrator, under any circumstances. 

7. To the extent Plaintiffs’ counsel makes contact with any putative class 

member following the production of information provided according to this Order, 

Plaintiffs’ counsel shall advise the putative class member that he or she has the right 

not to talk to counsel and that if that right is exercised, counsel will immediately 

terminate the contact and not re-contact the individual. 

8. Defendant will serve a supplemental response to Interrogatory No. 14 

stating the total number of employees working as exempt Branch Managers during the 

periods of (a) February 6, 2008 until the present and (b) February 6, 2011 to the 

present for Defendant by May 9, 2014. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: April 28, 2014.

EXHIBIT #1 

Case 2:12-cv-01114-JAM-EFB Document 50 Filed 04/29/14 Page 4 of 5
NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL CONTACT INFORMATION 

Bueche v. Fidelity National Management Services, LLC, Case No. 2:12-cv-01114-JAM-EFB 

 To: CURRENT AND FORMER BRANCH MANAGERS EMPLOYED BY 

FIDELITY NATIONAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES, LLC BETWEEN FEBRUARY 

6, 2008 AND THE PRESENT

Plaintiffs Laurie Bueche and Kelly Collier (“Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit against 

Fidelity National Management Services, LLC (“Defendant”), alleging claims for unpaid 

overtime and inaccurate wage statements. Defendant denies Plaintiffs’ claims and believes 

that it has fully complied with its legal obligations. This is not a lawsuit against you, and 

you are not being sued. 

Plaintiffs filed their lawsuit as a class action, and thereby claim to represent the 

interests of all current and former branch managers who worked in California at any time 

from February 8, 2008 to the present. The Court has not yet rendered any opinion as to 

the merits of the lawsuit, and has not determined whether or not the lawsuit should 

proceed as a class action. 

You may be a member of the proposed class. Plaintiffs’ attorneys would like to have 

your name and contact information, including address, telephone number, and email address, 

so that they can contact you to obtain information about the nature of the work you do (or 

used to do) while employed by Defendant. 

You may elect to keep your contact information private so that it is not provided 

to Plaintiffs’ attorneys. If you DO NOT want your name and contact information 

provided to Plaintiffs’ attorneys, YOU MUST SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED 

POSTCARD. The postcard must be postmarked NO LATER THAN [15 days from the 

date of mailing]. 

Regardless of how you respond to this notice, you are not under any obligation to 

provide any information about your employment or discuss any of the issues involved in the 

lawsuit with any of the attorneys in this matter. 

You have the right to contact the Plaintiff’s attorneys or the Defendant’s attorney directly:
