ELIAS PEREZ,
Plaintiff,
v.
PEOPLEREADY, INC., et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 25-cv-04610-AMO
ORDER FINDING MOTION LACKING
CERTIFICATION; DENIED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE
Re: Dkt. Nos. 15, 16
On October 24, 2025, Defendant PeopleReady, Inc., filed a motion to compel arbitration
and Defendant Global Fixture Services Co. filed a motion for joinder in the motion to compel
arbitration, but both entities failed to file a certification that they had met and conferred with
Plaintiff Elias Perez as required by this Court’s Standing Order in Civil Cases. The order
provides:
All parties are advised that effective Monday, October 20, 2025, the
judiciary will run out of funding and only limited operations will
continue. See

aign=uscnews&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery. As
a consequence, court staff will not be paid despite the requirement to
work on essential matters.
Accordingly, until the judiciary is funded, parties shall meet and
confer before filing any substantive motion. The parties shall
determine whether the litigation can proceed without the motion or
whether the motion must be urgently resolved. If the latter, lead
trial counsel shall file a certification attesting to the same with the
filing of any substantive motion. Failure to provide the certification
will result in a sua sponte denial without prejudice. This
requirement does not apply to administrative or ministerial motions.
The Court appreciates the parties’ cooperation during this period.
