Dear Judge Illston:
At the January 11, 2013 case management conference, Your Honor requested that
the parties inform you by January 25, 2013 whether we request referral to a magistrate
judge for settlement purposes. As we informed Your Honor at the conference,
Defendants recently appointed new counsel. During the past two weeks, counsel for
Plaintiffs Martinez and Nguyen have been conferring with the recently-appointed counsel
for Defendants regarding this case, as well as the pending claims of over 70 other current
and former employees of Defendants that are now in arbitration.
As these discussions were recently begun and are ongoing, the parties request a
two-week extension (until February 8, 2013, the date of the next scheduled case
management conference) for informing Your Honor whether or not the parties believe the
Martinez and Nguyen claims should be referred to a magistrate judge for settlement
purposes. If the parties reach an agreement before that date, we will inform Your Honor
immediately.
Sincerely,
/S/
BRADY R. DEWAR
(counsel for Plaintiffs)
