CIVIL ACTION NO. H-16-3318

ORDER
The court previously stayed this case pending a scheduled mediation on March 1, 2018 to
try to reach a global settlement resolving this case and the related Colorado case, Ross v. Convergent
Outsourcing. The parties submitted a joint status update informing the court of the outcome of that
mediation. (Docket Entry No. 53). Although Ross and Convergent reached a settlement agreement,
the intervenors, including the plaintiff in this case, declined to agree to the terms. Ross and
Convergent intend to file a renewed motion for class certification and settlement in Colorado by
May 29, 2018. The parties in this Texas case ask this court to continue the stay until fourteen days
after the Ross court rules on the motion for approval of the settlement.
This case is administratively stayed and closed without prejudice. The parties may move to
reinstate the case to the active docket no later than 14 days after the Ross court rules on the pending
motion for certification and settlement.
SIGNED on March 12, 2018, at Houston, Texas.
