STIPULATION AND ORDER TO VACATE STATUS
CONFERENCE –
2:13-CV-01282-KJM-AC

1

The undersigned counsel, on behalf of Plaintiffs and Defendants Taylor Farms Pacific, Inc.

2

(“Taylor Farms Pacific”), Abel Mendoza, Inc., Manpower, Inc., Quality Farm Labor, Inc., and

3

Slingshot Connections, LLC (collectively, the “Parties”), hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

4

WHEREAS:

5

1.

In advance of the status conference scheduled for April 20, 2018 (Dkt. 262), Plaintiffs

6

and Taylor Farms Pacific reached agreement to mediate the case with David A. Rotman in San

7

Francisco, CA, and scheduled that mediation for May 16, 2018. To allow for mediation of the dispute,

8

the Court previously continued the status conference to February 8, 2019. (Dkt. 284.)

9

2.

Since that time, Plaintiffs and Taylor Farms Pacific attended mediation first on May 16,

10

2018 and again on November 30, 2018, and have reached a settlement, which covers all claims against

11

all Defendants. Plaintiffs and Taylor Farms Pacific are currently working out the details of the long-

12

form settlement agreement, and intend to file a motion for preliminary approval once the agreement

13

and related documents are finalized. Accordingly, the Parties believe that a status conference would

14

be unnecessary at this time.

15

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the Parties, through their

16

respective counsel, that, subject to this Court’s approval, the current February 8, 2019 status conference

17

be vacated pending the filing of a motion for preliminary settlement approval.

18
19
20

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
