Master Docket – In Re: Just For

This Document Relates to:
ALL Just for Men® Cases
ORDER ESTABLISHING RANDI ELLIS AS MEDIATION FACILITATOR
This litigation has reached a point to where the Court and the parties
believe that appointment and implementation of a mediation facilitator will greatly
aid those involved in the proceedings. Thus, the Court hereby appoints RANDI
ELLIS, as mediation facilitator. Ms. Ellis is experienced in dispute resolution
and has served as a court-appointed mediator in numerous federal and state
court cases.

It is the opinion of this Court that Ms. Ellis possesses the requisite

skills, experience, knowledge, character, credibility, and other attributes
necessary to serve as mediation facilitator.
The Court bestows Ms. Ellis with the power to do all things necessary to
facilitate the mediation process, including but not limited to, fact gathering and
documentary proof of plaintiffs who wish to be considered as part of this mass
action. The Court encourages Ms. Ellis to further help aid and assist progress of
1

this legal action by contacting potential plaintiffs who have not yet filed cases, who
may have an interest in participating in this ongoing litigation. Additionally, Ms.
Ellis should attempt to obtain signatures to the current Tolling Agreement by
those parties wishing to participate.
In consideration of her services, the parties are to pay Ms. Ellis’ fees
equally, half by the defense group and half by the plaintiff groups. The plaintiff
groups on their own may come to a decision on how they will split their portion of
the responsibility without instruction from the Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
