JOINT UPDATED CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Civil Case No.: CV-11-03082 LB

Plaintiffs Rosminah Brown and Eric Lohela and Defendant The Hain Celestial

1
2

Group, Inc. respectfully submit the following Joint Updated Case Management Statement in

3

advance of the Case Management Conference set for August 22, 2013.
As the parties stated at the Case Management Conference on July 11, 2013, an

4
5

issue has arisen that has precluded the parties from finalizing a settlement. Although the parties

6

have made some progress toward resolving this issue over the past two weeks, no resolution has

7

been finalized. In fact, the possibility remains that the parties will not be able to finalize a

8

settlement and will instead need to reinstate a litigation schedule. Preparing such a schedule is a

9

time intensive process that the parties have put on hold while they attempt to work out the

10

remaining settlement issues. Accordingly, the parties are still not prepared to submit a

11

settlement to the Court or propose a schedule for preliminary approval of a settlement. Rather,

12

the parties propose that the Court continue the Case Management Conference for an additional

13

thirty days.
If the parties are able to finalize the settlement prior to that date, they will submit

15

it for preliminary approval. In the event that the parties are unable to finalize a settlement, they

16

will create a litigation plan and submit it to the Court as part of the Case Management

17

Conference statement.
