On April 15, 2013, Plaintiff Linda DelaTorre ("Plaintiff') filed a complaint against Johnson
2 Controls, Inc. ("Defendant") on behalf of herself and other former employees, and subsequently filed the
3 operative First Amended Complaint on May 20, 2014.
Plaintiff alleges, among other things, that
4 employees are owed compensation for vacation, final wages, and inaccurate itemized wage statements,
5 and related penalties. The lawsuit seeks damages for lost wages, interest, penalties, injunctive relief,
6 attorneys' fees and expenses. Defendant denies all of Plaintiffs claims.

After initial exchanges of information, the Parties entered into private mediation before respected
8 neutral mediator (and plaintiffs' counsel) Mark Rudy, Esq. to try and resolve the claims. As a result of
9 that mediation on February 13, 2014, and under the auspices of Mr. Rudy, the Parties reached a
10 settlement. On or about July 15, 2014, Plaintiff and Defendant executed the Stipulation of Settlement
11 and Release ("Stipulation of Settlement"), setting forth the te1ms of the Settlement.
