On January 13, 2015, the Court continued the deadlines related to the class notice based upon

23

the stipulation of the parties. (Docs. 178-179.) On January 26, 2014, Plaintiffs Margarita Rosales and

The true and correct name of “Angelica Rosales” is “Maria Lorena Corza Alvarado,” though she is known as
“Lorena Corza.” Ms. Corza reports she used the name of her daughter, “Angelica Rosales,” while working at El Rancho.
(Doc. 35-7 at 3). Therefore, the Court will refer to plaintiff “Angelica Rosales” as “Lorena Corza.”
