TO THE HONORABLE COURT, ALL PARTIES, AND THEIR

2 ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
3

PURSUANT TO Local Rule 143, the following Stipulation is hereby entered

4 into by and between Plaintiff Jimmy Greer (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Dick’s Sporting Goods,
5 Inc. (“Defendant” and, together with Plaintiff, the “Parties”), by and through their respective
6 counsel of record.
7

WHEREAS, on March 15, 2018, the Court issued an order (ECF No. 70 at 2) requiring

8 the Defendant to provide class information, including the social security numbers of past and
9 current employees of Defendant, to the class action administrator (“CPT”);
10

WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred, and out of deference to the protection of

11 employee privacy, Plaintiff and his attorneys have confirmed that they will not receive or review
12 any social security numbers pertaining to the class;
13

WHEREAS, CPT has stated that CPT does not need employee social security numbers in

14 order to mail out class notice; and would only use social security numbers for the purpose of
15 running a “skip trace” if mail is determined to be undeliverable.
16

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree and stipulate as follows:

17 IT IS THEREFORE STIPULATED by and between the Parties that Defendant shall only provide
18 social security numbers as needed to CPT for the purpose of running a “skip trace.” The Parties
19 agree that neither Defendant nor CPT shall not disclose any of the class social security numbers to
20 Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s counsel.
