STIPULATION AND ORDER
HONORABLE NATHANAEL M. COUSINS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff Parus Holdings Inc. (“Parus”), third party [24]7.ai (“[24]7”), and Defendants FMR LLC D/B/A Fidelity Investments (“Fidelity”) and Capital One, N.A. (“Capital One”) hereby submit this Joint Stipulation and state as follows:
WHEREAS, on March 29, 2024, the Parties met and conferred via Zoom and reached an impasse with regards to the production of source code by [24]7.
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2024, Parus filed a Motion to Compel in this Court, seeking that [24]7 produce (1) certain grammar files in a human readable format or the proprietary tools required to make such files human readable; (2) the Java code invoked to perform operations to manage call flow; and (3) the definitions for various previously produced files. Dkt. 1.
WHEREAS, on April 4, 2024, the Court issued its Order Requiring Further Meet and Confer and Filing of Joint Discovery Letter Brief, which set the deadline of April 15, 2024. Dkt. 5.
WHEREAS, on April 9, 2024, the Parties met and conferred via Zoom. [24]7 informed Parus that it would need time to further investigate Parus' source code requests and would follow-up via email.
WHEREAS, on April 11 and 12, 2024, the Parties negotiated a compromise via email.
And WHEREAS the Parties, on or about April 12, 2024, reached the following agreements: (1) [24]7 represented that does not have certain grammar files in a human readable format and it does not have the tools required to make such files human readable; (2) Capital One agreed that documented call flows may be used as evidence and will not later argue that failure to use actual source code was insufficient evidence; and (3) Parus agreed to a stipulated dismissal of the Motion to Compel.
This stipulation is limited to the [24]7 Voxify source code as represented by Capital One call flows and does not extend to any other source code related issue in this matter.
NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND THE PARTIES JOINTLY REQUEST, that the Court dismiss this miscellaneous action.
ORDER
Before the Court is the Stipulation seeking dismissal of the miscellaneous case. PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
