JOINT STIPULATION TO AMEND AND ORDER
Case No. 3:12-cv-06342-CRB

-123719665v1

1

WHEREAS, Plaintiff Liat Orshansky and Defendants L’Oréal USA, Inc. and Maybelline,

2

LLC, a New York limited liability company d/b/a Maybelline, New York (collectively

3

“Defendants”) are presently named parties in the above captioned litigation;

4

WHEREAS, on August 22, 2013, the Court ordered the parties to show cause why this action

5

and the related action Nobles v. L’Oréal USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:13-cv-01911, should or should

6

not be transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; and

WHEREAS, on September 5, 2013, the parties filed a joint response to the order to show
cause asking the Court to discharge the order in light of this forthcoming stipulation;
Now, therefore, Plaintiff Liat Orshansky and Defendants, by and through their respective
counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
1.

By September 16, 2013, Plaintiff and counsel for Ayanna Nobles, plaintiff in the related

12

action Nobles v. L’Oréal USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:13-cv-01911, shall file an amended complaint

13

in this action, adding Ms. Nobles as a plaintiff and omitting the currently-pleaded claims respecting

14

Maybelline’s SuperStay 14HR Lipstick and SuperStay 10 Stain Gloss, and thus pleading claims only

15

with respect to the mascara products, Maybelline’s Volum’Express The Falsies and L’Oréal Paris’

16

Voluminous False Fiber Lashes. Defendants agree that this action, as amended in this matter, should

17

remain venued in this District subject to the Court's discretion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1404(a).

18

2.

Because the parties have agreed to mediate the mascara-related claims before a neutral

19

mediator on or about October 16, 2013, all deadlines in this action, and all discovery except that

20

necessary for the mediation, are stayed until a status conference to be held before this Court on

21

November 1, 2013 at 8:30 AM.

22

3.

By September 16, 2013, Plaintiff and counsel for Ayanna Nobles will file an amended

23

complaint in Nobles v. L’Oréal USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:13-cv-01911, adding Ms. Orshansky as

24

a plaintiff and omitting the mascara claims described above, thus pleading claims only with respect

25

to Maybelline’s SuperStay 14HR Lipstick and SuperStay 10 Stain Gloss. Following that

26

amendment, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. s. 1404(a), all parties consent to the transfer of Nobles v. L’Oréal

27

USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:13-cv-01911, to the United States District Court for the Southern

28

District of New York, where an earlier-filed matter pertaining to the same products, Leebove v.
JOINT STIPULATION TO AMEND AND ORDER
Case No. 3:12-cv-06342-CRB

-223719665v1

1

Maybelline, LLC, No. 1:12-cv-07146 (S.D.N.Y.), is pending. The transfer should note the

2

relatedness of Nobles v. L’Oréal USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:13-cv-01911, to that earlier-filed

3

action. Plaintiff agrees that she will not oppose the consolidation of the Nobles action with the

4

Leebove action after the transfer to the Southern District of New York.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
