WHEREAS, plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint asserts class action allegations on 

behalf of a subclass of “all pharmacists who quit or were otherwise terminated and who were not 

timely tendered a paycheck for all outstanding wages by one or more of the Defendants in 

California during the four years before the filing of the Complaint through the date of the filing 

of a Motion for Class Certification (‘Class C-203’)”; 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that there is an insufficient number of pharmacists 

employed by defendant to satisfy the numerosity requirement of Rule 23(a)(1); 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that Rideout Memorial Hospital is the proper defendant in 

this lawsuit and that Fremont-Rideout Health Group was erroneously named; 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree and stipulate that: 

1. Plaintiff’s class action allegations related to pharmacists, including the subclasses 

referenced as “Class B-226.7” and “Class C-203,” shall be dismissed and stricken from 

plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint; 

2. Plaintiff’s allegations referring to “pharmacists” other than plaintiff, “other 

pharmacists,” or “other pharmacists employees” shall be stricken from the Second Amended 

Complaint; 

3. References to Fremont-Rideout Health Group shall be stricken from the Second 

Amended Complaint and replaced with the proper defendant Rideout Memorial Hospital, each 

side to bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any, with respect to the naming of FremontRideout Health Group as a defendant; and 

 4. Nothing in this stipulation shall be deemed to limit or affect plaintiff’s Eighth 

Cause of Action under The Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (Cal. Lab. C. §§ 

2698, et seq.) or any rights she may have under that statute to pursue claims as an aggrieved 

employee on behalf of herself and other current and former employees.
