STIPULATION AND ORDER STAYING OF ALL DEADLINES PENDING MEDIATION -

1

Plaintiffs Mary Ann Adlao (“Adlao”) and Marian Williams (“Williams”) (together as

2

“Plaintiffs”) and Defendants JPMorgan Chase & Co., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and EMC

3

Mortgage Corp. (together as “Defendants”) (Plaintiffs and Defendants are referred to together as the

4

“Parties”) hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

5
6

1. Whereas Plaintiffs filed a motion for conditional certification under §216(b) of the Fair

7

Labor Standards Act on March 24, 2011 (Dkt. #43), which is currently pending and held in abeyance

8

pending Defendants’ motion to compel arbitration;

9
10
11

2. Whereas Defendants filed a renewed motion to compel arbitration on April 13, 2011 (Dkt.
#46), which is currently pending and set to be heard on June 21, 2011; and
3. Whereas Plaintiffs’ response to Defendants’ motion to compel is due by May 27, 2011, and

12

13
14
15
16

4. Whereas a Case Management Conference is currently scheduled for June 16, 2011 at 3:15
p.m.; and
5. Whereas the Parties desire to focus their efforts and attention immediately on Alternative

18

Parties have scheduled a mediation in San Francisco on June 29, 2011, with a highly-experienced,

19

neutral third party, Michael Dickstein; and

20
6. Whereas focusing on litigation of the pending motion(s) while mediation efforts are
21
22
23
24

proceeding (a) is both needlessly costly and potentially counter-productive for the Parties, and (b)
would potentially result in the unnecessary expenditure of judicial resources;
THEREFORE it is hereby stipulated by the Parties that all pending motions, deadlines, and

25

scheduled hearings and conferences in the above-referenced matter will be stayed immediately pending

26

the completion of the currently-scheduled mediation process. Plaintiffs will notify the Court within
