The Parties submit this further joint status report regarding the status of settlement
discussions and the necessity of a continued stay of litigation in this matter.
On May 24, 2011, upon stipulation of the parties, this Court ordered that (a) the action be

4

stayed pending the anticipated mediation in this matter; (b) Defendant’s deadline to answer or

5

otherwise respond to the complaint be postponed until twenty (20) days after the lifting of this stay;

6

(c) the parties shall submit a report on the status of the mediation and the continued propriety of the

7

stay within one hundred twenty (120) days of this Order; and (d) the stay shall expire in the event

8

any party fails to execute or revokes the FLSA tolling agreement executed by the parties;

9

On September 15, 2011, the parties participated in a mediation with Mediator Mark Rudy in

10

San Francisco. The case did not resolve at the mediation, but settlement discussions have

11

continued.

12

On September 21, 2011, per the Order of this Court, the parties submitted a joint status

13

report regarding the status of settlement negotiations and requested a continuance of the stay of

14

litigation.

15

Based on the current status of settlement discussions, the parties continue to believe it

16

would be in the interest of justice and administrative efficiency to continue the stay while

17

settlement negotiations continue. The parties further propose to inform the Court by October 30,

18

2011 of the status of their continued settlement negotiations.
