ORDER
MARVIN E. ASPEN, District Court Judge:
We have reviewed the parties’ joint notice of stipulation concerning damages.
(Dkt. No. 238.) The parties report that they have reached agreement as to the amount of
damages owed to the Plaintiffs and class members. (Id. at 1.) The parties also state that
Plaintiffs intend to dismiss claims for any additional compensation based on intragrove travel.
(Id.) The parties indicate that they will have the final damages calculations complete by
January 11, 2016. (Id. at 2.) The parties report that they intend to jointly move to defer the
deadline for Plaintiffs to seek costs and fees until after any appeal. (Id.) Finally, they explain
that their anticipated stipulation obviates the need for additional briefing and the previouslyscheduled evidentiary hearing. (Id.) As a result, we strike the pending briefing schedule as well
as the two-day evidentiary hearing scheduled to begin January 11, 2016.
In lieu of the evidentiary hearing, we hereby schedule a hearing on the intended
stipulations and partial motion to dismiss. The parties shall present their stipulations and
Plaintiffs’ partial motion for voluntary dismissal in open court on January 11, 2016 at 10 a.m.
1

The parties shall also file any additional motions as to procedural issues at that time, if they are
not filed beforehand.

SO ORDERED:
