CASE NO. 3:14-cv-05241 EMC

1

This Stipulation is entered into by and between Defendants Uber Technologies, Inc. and

2

Rasier, LLC 1 through their counsel of record Littler Mendelson, P.C., Plaintiff Ronald Gillette,

3

through his counsel of record Goldstein, Borgen, Dardarian & Ho and Plaintiff Abdul Kadir

5

05200-EMC [“Mohamed”]) through his counsel of record Ahdoot & Wolfson, P.C. (collectively “the

6

Parties”).

7

schedule regarding Defendants’ motions to compel arbitration in Mohamed and the instant action

8

(“Gillette”). The Parties also seek to continue the March 12, 2015 case management conference date

9

and associated deadlines.

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, the Parties hereby stipulate to a consolidated briefing

10

This Stipulation is based on the following:

11

1.

Defendant Uber Technologies, Inc. filed a motion to compel arbitration in the Gillette

12

action on January 23, 2015 and noticed the hearing for March 12, 2015.

13

opposition is currently due for filing on February 6, 2015.

14
15

2.

Plaintiff Gillette’s

Defendants Uber Technologies, Inc. and Rasier, LLC intend to file a motion to

compel arbitration in Mohamed on February 6, 2015.

16

3.

The Court set a case management conference in Gillette for March 5, 2015, as well as

17

associated case management and ADR deadlines, as set forth in the Court’s Order Setting Initial

18

to compel arbitration.

1

management schedules promote efficiency and will avoid undue repetition of facts, evidence and

legal argument common to both actions. The Parties agree, however, that if consolidated briefs are

4

sufficient space to address factual and legal arguments specific to each Plaintiff.

This request is not made for purposes of unnecessary delay and no party will be

6

prejudiced by the granting of this request. Defendant Uber Technologies, Inc. and Plaintiff Gillette

8

Uber Technologies, Inc. and Rasier, LLC and Plaintiff Mohamed previously stipulated to two

9

extensions of Defendants’ time to file a responsive pleading.
