On 8/19/26, Defendant filed a Notice of Related Cases in the instant case and also in Martinez v. North Los Angeles County Regional Center, Inc., et al., 26STCV06472. The Court will defer to Department 12, which has the oldest case, to rule on the pending Notice of Related Cases.

14. Settlement. File a Notice of Settlement on Judicial Council form CM-200, a mandatory form.

a. C onsider using the form wage and hour settlement agreements now available on the court's website at https://www.lacourt.org/forms/all - "Civil Forms" section. With input and unanimous consensus from an Ad Hoc Wage and Hour Committee, the court posted: (1) a form class action settlement agreement, (2) a form class action/PAGA settlement agreement, (3) and a form PAGA settlement agreement. Using these forms should cut down on attorney negotiation time and reduce the lag time between a successful mediation and execution of a long form agreement. Filing a motion that is based on a form agreement and includes a redlined copy identifying modifications will also expedite the court's review process and help reduce the current backlog on hearings.

b. If settlement includes dismissal of class action claims (such as a PAGA only settlement or an individual settlement), then Plaintiff must comply with CRC 3.769 and 3.770 in order to obtain dismissal of class claims. Do NOT use Judicial Council Form Civ-110, Request for Dismissal.
