ORDER AFTER SCHEDULING CONFERENCE
JENNIFER L. THURSTON, Magistrate Judge.
The Court held a scheduling conference but did not schedule the case. Rather, it discussed with counsel setting a deadline by which the motion to compel arbitration intended by the defense and the motion to amend the complaint intended by the plaintiff, must be filed. Thus, the Court ORDERS:
1. The motion to compel arbitration SHALL be filed no later than October 8, 2019 with a hearing no later than November 22, 2019;
2. The motion to file a first amended complaint to add a PAGA claim SHALL be filed no later than October 8, 2019 with a hearing no later than November 22, 2019. If the plaintiff chooses to file this motion, she SHALL certify she has reviewed the operative complaint in the matter filed earlier in San Bernardino Superior Court seeking PAGA damages for the same conduct at issue in this litigation and that she has a good faith belief that the San Bernardino action is not meritorious or that the San Bernardino action is not likely to afford complete relief to the collection.1 (See Colorado River Water Conservation District v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 817-818 (1976); R.R. St. & Co. v. Transp. Ins. Co., 656 F.3d 966, 978-979 (9th Cir.2011).)
3. The Court set a further scheduling conference on January 13, 2020 at 8:30 a.m. Counsel may appear by teleconference by dialing (888) 557-8511 and entering Access Code 1652736, provided they lodge an intent to appear telephonically by email to SHall@caed.uscourts.gov at least five days before the hearing.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
