WinCo removed this case to the United States District Court, Eastern District of California on March 2, 2018. WinCo then moved to dismiss and to strike allegations in the Amended Complaint. On March 31, 2019, the Court entered its Order on WinCo’s motion, which (1) dismissed Plaintiff’s first through fourth causes of action with prejudice; (2) struck Plaintiff’s class and representative claims; (3) dismissed Plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief; and (3) dismissed Plaintiff’s fifth through ninth causes of action without prejudice.
On April 30, 2019, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint, and, thereafter a Third Amended Complaint on May 6, 2019. The Third Amended Complaint asserts all claims and allegations from the First Amended Complaint (with additional allegations relating to the fifth through ninth claims for relief), but acknowledges that the allegations and claims are asserted pursuant to the Court’s March 31, 2019 Order (i.e., that the first through fourth claims were dismissed by the Court’s prior Order).
The parties have reached a settlement of Plaintiff’s remaining individual claims.
