UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION
PAUL PLUMMER and NICHOLAS
WHITE, on behalf of themselves and
those similarly situated
Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No: 2:15-cv-37-FtM-38CM

PJCF, LLC,
Defendant.
/
ORDER1
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiffs Paul Plummer and Nicholas White
and Defendant PJCF, LLC's Joint Report Regarding Settlement (Doc. #34) filed on May
28, 2015. Plaintiffs initiated this action to recover unpaid minimum wage under the Fair
Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). (Doc. #1; Doc. #18 at 3). The Court later conditionally
certified this case as an FLSA collective action and set July 6, 2015, as the deadline for
putative class members to complete and return the Consent to Become Opt-In Plaintiffs.
(Doc. #25; Doc. #30; Doc. #33).
Per the FLSA Scheduling Order dated March 3, 2015 (Doc. #15), the parties advise
the Court that they have not settled the case but wish to continue settlement discussions
until August 5, 2015, which is thirty (30) days after the notice period closes. (Doc. #34).

The parties plan to engage in class wide mediation shortly after the notice period and
believe "there is a high likelihood that the case will settle/resolve."

(Doc. #34).

Consequently, to aid the parties in settling this matter, the Court will allow the parties to
continue settlement discussions until on or before August 5, 2015.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
Plaintiffs Paul Plummer and Nicholas White and Defendant PJCF, LLC have until
on or before August 5, 2015, to file a Supplemental Report Regarding Settlement, which
discusses the status of their settlement discussions. If this matter does not settle, the
parties must file a Case Management Repot on or before August 12, 2015.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this 29th day of May, 2015.
