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.

6

9

On April 5, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary settlement approval

(“Motion”) in the above-captioned action (Dkt. 287);
2.

After a hearing held on May 31, 2019, the Court denied Plaintiffs’ Motion without

prejudice to renewal in an Order dated August 23, 2019 (Dkt. 305);
3.

As stated in the Court’s Order, Plaintiffs may renew their Motion to “adequately address

10

the court’s remaining concerns described” in the Order, and Plaintiffs “may do so by filing a notice of

11

renewal and reliance on prior briefing, with supplemental briefing focusing on only the issues called

12

out by” the Order (Dkt. 305 at 9);

13

4.

On September 4, 2019, the Court set a status conference for October 3, 2019 (Dkt. 306);

14

5.

In light of the August 23, 2019 Order, Plaintiffs intend to file a notice of renewal for

15

their motion for preliminary approval to adequately address the Court’s remaining concerns by no later

16

than October 11, 2019. Accordingly, the Parties believe that a status conference would be unnecessary

17

at this time.

18

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

19

respective counsel, that, subject to this Court’s approval, the current October 3, 2019 status conference

20

be vacated pending Plaintiffs filing their notice of renewal for their motion for preliminary settlement

21

approval.

22

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
