Case No.: 10-CV-04568-LHK
ORDER REGARDING JOINT CASE
MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

16

Plaintiffs filed a motion for conditional class certification under the Fair Labor Standards

17

Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 201 et seq., “FLSA”). Defendants did not oppose this motion, but did oppose

18

Plaintiffs’ request for a reminder notice to be sent to potential class members 30 days after the

19

original notice. At the Case Management Conference held on May 5, 2011, the Court found that a

20

reminder notice would aid in the notification of potential class members. See Harris v. Vector

21

Mktg. Corp., 716 F. Supp. 2d 835, 847 (N.D. Cal. 2010). Therefore, the Court approved the

22

stipulated notice to potential class members (see Dkt. No. 43-1), with the addition of the following

23

phrase: “The Judge Has Not Reached a Decision On the Merits of Plaintiffs’ Claims or

24

Defendants’ Defenses.” This notice shall be mailed to potential class members by a claims

25

administrator as soon as possible after May 19, 2011, when the Defendants will provide the claims

26

administrator with class contact information. A follow-up notice identical to the first notice shall

27

be mailed 30 days after the initial mailing.
