1

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2, 7-12, 16-8, and ADR Local Rule 3-5, Plaintiffs Alejandro

2

Juarez, Maria Juarez, Luis A. Romero and Maria Portillo (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendants Jani-King of

3

California, Inc., Jani-King, Inc., and Jani-King International, Inc. (“Defendants”), hereby state as

4

follows:

5

1.

On January 6, 2010, this Court entered its Order Selecting ADR Process pursuant to

6

the parties’ stipulation that the parties would participate in private ADR through ADR Services, or

7

another neutral to be agreed on by the parties, 45 days after the Court’s ruling on Plaintiffs’ motion

8

for class certification. (Dkt. 38.)

2.

On March 4, 2011, this Court issued its Order Denying Plaintiffs’ Motion to Certify

the Class, and set a Case Status Conference for April 29, 2011. (Dkt. 130.)
3.

On January 22, 1010, this Court held an initial Status Conference (Dkt. 40) ordering

12

that discovery be bifurcated (class/merits). Accordingly, prior to this Court’s order on class

13

certification the parties had only engaged in discovery related to class certification.

14
15
16

4.

The parties anticipate the need to conduct merits based discovery prior to having a

meaningful mediation, including, for example, to conduct an assessment of damages.
5.

The parties have met and conferred regarding their availability. The parties agree that

17

they need additional time to conduct merits discovery. Thus, in light of their limited availability due

18

to other scheduling matters, the parties have agreed to August 1, 2011 to participate in private ADR.

19
20

6.

Accordingly, for good cause shown, the parties hereby stipulate that:
i.

the Stipulation and Order Selecting ADR Process entered on January 6, 2010
setting a deadline for participating in Private ADR to a date no later than 45
days after the Court’s order on Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification be
vacated; and

ii.

the deadline for parties to participate in Private ADR be continued to Monday,
August 1, 2011.
