JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING NOTICE TO FLSA AND CALIFORNIA CLASS MEMBERS FOLLOWING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF SETTLEMENT

(Doc. 78)

JENNIFER L. THURSTON, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiffs STEPHANIE VEGA and MICHAEL McNATT ("Plaintiffs") and Defendants WEATHERFORD U.S. AND WEATHERFORD ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS, LLC (collectively "Defendants") (collectively, "the Parties"), by and through their attorneys of record:

WHEREAS, on July 22, 2016, this Court preliminary approved settlement in the above captioned matter, and thereafter, on August 2, 2016, approved the notice and exclusion forms to be sent to putative class members (CA) and FLSA collective action members (Docket Nos. 71 and 77);

WHEREAS, in preparation for mailing, the parties noticed an error on one of the notice forms. Specifically, the notice directed to those employees and former employees who are members of both classes (the California settlement class and the FLSA settlement class), incorrectly refers to an exclusion form rather than providing instructions on how the FLSA collective action member should exclude him or herself from further participation in the lawsuit. The parties have met and conferred and agree that this language could cause confusion among these FLSA collective action settlement class members who have already consented to join the FLSA action;

WHEREAS, the parties have further met and conferred and agree that the language of the notice to this group of settlement class members should be modified as identified in Exhibit A attached hereto and filed herewith (note that both redlined and clean copies have been filed with the court as Exhibit A).

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties stipulate and respectfully request the Court issue an Order approving the revised notice form with the changes identified in Exhibit A.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

Having reviewed the Parties' Joint Stipulation, it is hereby ORDERED:

IT IS SO ORDERED.
