On June 22, 2017, the court issued an order granting in part plaintiff’s first motion for

20

conditional certification and facilitated notice. (Doc. No. 29.) On October 20, 2017, the court

21

issued an order granting in part plaintiff’s second motion for conditional certification and

22

facilitated class notice. (Doc. No. 48.) In that second order, the court set a deadline for potential

23

collective action members to file their consent to join in the collective action. (Id. at 5.) The

24

parties indicated that several potential members indicated their interest to join in the collective

25

action after the deadline had passed. (Doc. No. 64 at 2–3.)

26

On April 24, 2018, the parties filed a stipulation to permit Thomas Beyer, Daniel Foster,

27

Jeffrey Santos, Miguel A. Villalobos, and Joshua Cummings to join this action as collective

28

action members and to permit plaintiffs’ counsel to file their consent to be included as individual

2

parties’ stipulation. (Doc. No. 65.)

3

On May 25, 2018, the parties filed a second stipulation seeking to permit Juan Montes,

4

Trenton Johnson, and Jeremy Caron to join this action as collective action members and to permit

5

plaintiffs’ counsel to file their consent to be included as individual plaintiffs pursuant to 29

6

U.S.C. § 216(b). (Doc. No. 67.) Having reviewed the stipulation, the court finds it to be

7

appropriate.

Accordingly,

9

1. Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation (Doc. No. 67), Juan Montes, Trenton Johnson, and

10
11

Jeremy Caron will be allowed to join this action as collective action members;

an individual plaintiff pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 216(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
