Case No. 4:17 CV 399 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before me upon review of the joint proposed scheduling plan filed by the
parties on Friday. This case is a purported collective action for unpaid overtime wages under the
FLSA. However, the parties’ joint proposed scheduling plan contains no deadlines for filing a
motion for conditional certification of the collective action, a briefing schedule if defendants
intend to oppose such a motion, and does not indicate whether any discovery is required before
such a motion can be filed. The parties need to discuss these issues, as well as any other issues
pertaining to the scheduling of this type of case, and file an amended joint proposed scheduling
plan which includes all relevant proposed deadlines for this case, including those relating to the
treatment of this case as a collective action.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall file an amended joint proposed
scheduling plan as set out above by no later than Wednesday, May 24, 2017.

RODNEY W. SIPPEL
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Dated this 22nd day of May, 2017.
