ORDER

Based upon the Joint Stipulation of Plaintiffs Rick Delagarza, Paul Gutierrez, Sal Lucido, April Moore, Charles Grimmett, Antonio Garcia and Brian Cashwell ("Plaintiffs") and Defendant Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company ("Tesoro") (collectively, the "Parties"), the Court hereby orders that:

(1) The above-captioned action filed by Plaintiff Antonio Garcia ("Plaintiff Garcia"), including all of his claims asserted therein, shall be dismissed in its entirety, without prejudice, pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any and all class claims asserted by Plaintiff Garcia shall not be prejudiced in any way by the voluntary dismissal of his individual claims.

(2) Plaintiff Garcia shall remain a class member in the action, but no longer serve as a class representative, and he shall retain all rights afforded to class members therein, including the right to object to, exclude himself from, and/or participate in any class settlement.

(3) In the event that the Parties' contemplated class action settlement is not preliminarily or finally approved by the Court, Tesoro agrees that it will stipulate to allow Plaintiffs in this action and/or in Burgess et al. v. Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company, USDC Case No. CV 10-cv-05870 DMG (PLAx), pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, to file an amended complaint adding Plaintiff Garcia as a plaintiff in those actions. The voluntary dismissal of Plaintiff Garcia shall not have any bearing on the merits of Plaintiff Garcia's claims, his adequacy as a class representative, or the class certification orders in this action or Burgess.

(4) Plaintiff Garcia and Tesoro each shall bear their own attorneys' fees and costs.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED. The Further CMC is reset from 5/9/13 to 9/5/13 at 10:30 a.m.

I am readily familiar with the firm's practice of collection and processing correspondence for mailing. Under that practice it would be deposited with the U.S. Postal Service on that same day with postage thereon fully prepaid in the ordinary course of business. I am aware that on motion of the party served, service is presumed invalid if postal cancellation date or postage meter date is more than one day after the date of deposit for mailing in affidavit.

I declare that I am employed in the office of a member of the bar of this court whose direction the service was made.
