STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER

Case No. 3:14-cv-05003-WHA

1

Since the Court’s final approval order of April 7, 2017 [ECF 274], Plaintiffs

2

Kohsuwan and Prommi have agreed to donate their settlement shares to the cy pres beneficiaries in

3

this case, to be distributed under the terms of the present collective action settlement. A fully

4

executed stipulation pertaining to Mr. Kohsuwan is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A fully executed

5

stipulation pertaining to Mr. Prommi is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

6

As summarized by the stipulations, Plaintiffs Kohsuwan and Prommi are named

7

plaintiffs in a separate class action against Dynamex, Charintorn Kohsuwan, Phairat Prommi,

8

Gustavo Menacho, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated v. Dynamex Inc., and

9

DOES 1-10, inclusive (“Kohsuwan v. Dynamex”), Case No. 30-2012-00594430-CU-OE-CXC

10

(Superior Court of California, County of Orange), which recently settled. The April 3, 2017 court

11

order which granted the Joint Stipulation Re Settlement And Dismissal Of Class Claims in

12

Kohsuwan v. Dynamex is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

13

Mr. Kohsuwan and Mr. Prommi are making their donations in connection with a

14

settlement agreement and release they recently made in Kohsuwan v. Dynamex, which came to both

15

counsels’ attention in this case after the Court’s final approval order. Mr. Kohsuwan’s and Mr.

16

Prommi’s releases in the Kohsuwan v. Dynamex settlement explicitly cover their claims in this

17

collective action settlement and their donations are intended to honor those releases while ensuring

18

that Dynamex still pays the total settlement amount in this collective action. Mr. Kohsuwan’s and

19

Mr. Prommi’s donations do not affect the release pertaining to them or any other plaintiff in this

20

case, do not diminish the total amount that Dynamex will need to pay under the terms of the

21

collective action settlement agreement, and do not change any other term of the collective action

22

settlement approved by this Court.

23

Accordingly, the Parties hereby respectfully request that the Court approve the

24

stipulations and designate Plaintiff Kohsuwan’s and Plaintiff Prommi’s settlement amounts in the

25

present case to the cy pres beneficiaries.
