1

WHEREAS, Plaintiff Ayanna Nobles 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; and

4

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

5

and the related action Orshansky v. L’Oréal USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:12-cv-06342, should or

6

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

Now, therefore, Plaintiff Ayanna Nobles and Defendants, by and through their respective
counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
1.

By September 16, 2013, Plaintiff and counsel for Liat Orshansky, plaintiff in the related

10

action Orshansky v. L’Oréal USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:12-cv-06342, will file an amended

11

complaint in this action, adding Ms. Orshansky as a plaintiff and omitting the currently-pleaded

12

claims respecting the mascara products, Maybelline’s Volum’Express The Falsies and L’Oréal Paris’

13

Voluminous False Fiber Lashes, thus pleading claims only with respect to SuperStay 14HR Lipstick

14

and SuperStay 10 Stain Gloss. Following that amendment, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. s. 1404(a), all

15

parties consent to the transfer of this action to the United States District Court for the Southern

16

District of New York, where an earlier-filed matter pertaining to the same products, Leebove v.

17

Maybelline, LLC, No. 1:12-cv-07146 (S.D.N.Y.), is pending, and to which this action should be

18

considered related upon transfer to the Southern District of New York. Plaintiff agrees that she will

19

not oppose the consolidation of this action with the Leebove action once this action is transferred.

20

2.

By September 16, 2013, Plaintiff and counsel for Liat Orshansky, shall file an amended

21

complaint in Orshansky v. L’Oréal USA, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:12-cv-06342, adding Ms. Nobles as

22

a plaintiff and omitting the currently-pleaded claims respecting Maybelline’s SuperStay 14HR

23

Lipstick and SuperStay 10 Stain Gloss, and thus pleading claims only with respect to the mascara

24

products described above. Defendants do not object to Orshansky v. L’Oréal USA, Inc., et al., Case

25

No. 3:12-cv-06342, as so amended, remaining venued in this District before this Court subject to the

26

Court's discretion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1404(a).
