Stipulation to Continue Class Certification Schedule; Order
ERICA P. GROSJEAN, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Carmela Mora ("Plaintiff") and Defendants Cal West Ag Services, Inc., Jon Marthedal, and Eric Marthedal ("Defendants") through their respective counsel of record, submit this Stipulation and Proposed Order to continue the class certification briefing schedule.
Whereas the parties have agreed to participate in mediation with Steven Vartabedian, retired Associate Justice of California Court of Appeal for the Fifth District, on January 18, 2018, which is one of the earliest available dates Justice Vartebedina has available. Whereas the parties believe that the resources of the parties and this court would be best served by continuing the existing class certification schedule in order to allow the parties to conclude their mediation efforts prior to engaging in class certification briefing.
Therefore, the parties hereby agree to alter the current class certification schedule as follows:
• Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification shall be due by February 13, 2018;
• Defendants' Opposition to Class Certification shall be due by March 6, 2018;
• Plaintiff's Reply brief will be due by March 27, 2018; and
• The court shall hear Plaintiff's motion on April 27, 2018 or as soon thereafter as is convenient for the court.
Accordingly, the foregoing is hereby stipulated and agreed to by and among the undersigned on behalf of their respective counsel.
ORDER
PURSUANT TO THE STIPULATION OF THE PARTIES, AND FOR GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS:
• Plaintiffs must file their Motion for Class Certification no later than February 13, 2018;
• Defendants must file any Opposition to Class Certification no later than March 6, 2018;
• Plaintiffs must file their Reply brief no later than March 27, 2018; and
• Plaintiffs' Class Certification hearing will be heard on May 4, 2018, at 10:00 am before Magistrate Judge Erica P. Grosjean.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
