JOINT STATUS REPORT AND JOINT STIPULATION AND REQUEST FOR CONTINUED STAY

(Third Request)

ORDER

ANDREW P. GORDON, District Judge.

Pursuant to the Court's June 3, 2019 Order (ECF No. 51), the parties, by and through their respective counsel of record, provide the Court with the following joint status report and hereby jointly stipulate and request that the Court continue to stay the present matter pending the parties' finalization of the resolution of this matter. The parties state the following:

1. Plaintiff filed his Complaint (ECF No. 1) on May 16, 2018 and served the same on Defendant on June 21, 2018. Defendant filed its Answer to Plaintiffs' Complaint (ECF No. 26) on July 12, 2018.

2. Many of the same parties and counsel are involved in ongoing litigation regarding Defendant's tip-pooling policies in another case pending in the U.S. District Court, Case No. 2:13-CV-109-RCJ-CWH. That proceeded through a mediation provided by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on May 9, 2019.

3. During the May 9, 2019 mediation, the parties were able to reach a global resolution in principle of both matters.

4. The parties and counsel are engaged in continued efforts to finalize their resolution and to take the necessary steps to execute the same.

5. In view of the resolution reached by the parties and the parties' ongoing efforts to finalize the resolution of this and the related matters, it appears a continuation of the stay is warranted here to allow for the settlement to be consummated.

6. This stipulation is made in good faith and for the reasons referenced above, and not for purposes of delay or any other improper purpose.

7. In view of the foregoing, the parties jointly stipulate and request that the present proceeding be stayed to facilitate the parties' continuing efforts to resolve this matter.

IT IS ORDERED.
