Plaintiff United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC” or 

“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Sensient Natural Ingredients LLC (incorrectly identified in the 

Complaint as “Sensient Natural Ingredients, LLC”) (“SNI”), f/k/a Sensient Dehydrated Flavors 

LLC (incorrectly identified in the Complaint as “Sensient Dehydrated Flavors, LLC”), and 

successor in interest to Sensient Dehydrated Flavors Company (“Defendant”), through their 

respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate pursuant to Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure as follows: 

1. Good Cause to Extend Preliminary Scheduling Order Deadline 

The parties come before the Court to seek an extension of the Preliminary Scheduling 

Order deadline to amend the parties’ pleadings by stipulation solely as to the naming of the 

proper Defendant. Specifically, the parties seek an extension to reach an agreement as to the 

naming of SNI as the sole Defendant. While the parties have not yet agreed to a stipulation, the 

parties have met and conferred and documents have been provided outside of the formal 

discovery process. The parties currently are working on the terms of the stipulation. The EEOC 

has requested additional time to negotiate a stipulation, and SNI does not oppose a four-week 

extension (i.e. 28 days) to permit the parties to reach an agreement with respect to the naming of 

SNI as the sole Defendant and to amend the Complaint accordingly. As such, the parties request 

that the Court, for good cause, grant the parties’ request for an extension of time for the sole 

purpose of filing a stipulated amendment to the Complaint to name SNI as the sole corporate 

Defendant. 

2. Stipulation to Amend Preliminary Scheduling Order 

The parties stipulate that the Preliminary Scheduling Order be amended to reflect the 

following new deadline:
