STIPULATION AND ORDER 2 BURRIS v. CITY OF PETALUMA

Case No. 4:18-cv-02102-HSG 

WHEREAS, this putative collective action was filed on April 6, 2018, asserting the City 

of Petaluma, the named Defendant in this action, violated the overtime payment provisions of the 

Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”); 

WHEREAS, the City was served the Summons and Complaint on April 16, 2018; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to stipulation and order, the City’s response to the Complaint is 

presently due on or by December 21, 2018 (see Dkt. No. 28);

effort to resolve this action, including the City providing Plaintiffs with payroll records and other

Scott Corley for settlement proceedings on October 22, 2018 (see Dkt. No. 29);

November 26, 2018 during which time the settlement conference was set for January 31, 2019 

(see Dkt. No. 30);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Rule 6-1(b), the Parties request a Court order extending 

the City’s time to respond to the Complaint to February 21, 2019 and moving the initial Case

STIPULATION AND ORDER 4 BURRIS v. CITY OF PETALUMA

Case No. 4:18-cv-02102-HSG 

3. Since June 2018, the Parties in this case have begun meaningful and concrete 

settlement discussions. 

4. In furtherance of settlement discussions, Defendant has provided Plaintiffs with 

payroll records and other requested information pertinent to Plaintiffs’ claims in the hopes of 

settling this matter without further litigation. 

5. On July 17, 2018, the Parties met at Petaluma City Hall to discuss settlement of 

this case. The discussions were productive and the Parties continue to engage in meaningful and 

concrete settlement negotiations. 

6. The Parties now seek additional time to meaningfully explore early settlement of 

this matter with the assistance of Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, who set a date of 

January 31, 2019 for a full-day settlement conference with the Parties. 

7. Prior to this, the Parties stipulated to extend the Defendant’s time to respond to 

Plaintiffs’ Complaint from May 7, 2018 to July 6, 2018, again stipulated to extend the 

Defendant’s time to respond to Plaintiffs’ Complaint from July 6, 2018 to August 10, 2018, again 

stipulated to extend Defendant’s time to respond to Plaintiffs’ Complaint from August 10, 2018 to 

October 26, 2018, and then again stipulated to extend Defendant’s time to respond to Plaintiffs’ 

Complaint from October 26, 2018 to December 21, 2018. 

 5. This extension, if granted, will impact the currently scheduled Case Management 

Conference, and related deadlines, set by the Court upon filing this action. For this reason, the 

Parties are requesting this Court to move the Initial Case Management Conference to March 19, 

2019 and re-set related dates accordingly. 

 6. I do not believe any party will be prejudiced by granting Defendant an extension 

and continuing the Initial Case Management Conference and related deadlines, as set forth in the 

Parties’ stipulation.
