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. On September 21, 2011 and October 6, 2011, the parties submitted joint status reports
12
regarding the status of settlement negotiations and the need for a continuance of the stay of
13
litigation.
14
The parties have reached a tentative settlement of this matter, subject to the negotiation of
15
certain terms and conditions. Defendant has prepared a draft settlement agreement and will
16
provide it to plaintiffs’ counsel this week. In light of the tentative settlement, the parties believe it
17
would be in the interest of justice and administrative efficiency to continue the stay while
18
settlement negotiations continue. The parties will inform the Court by November 11, 2011 of the
19
status of the tentative settlement and a proposed date for the filing of preliminary approval papers,
20
if appropriate.
