CLASS ACTION CASE
JOINT NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT
AND REQUEST TO VACATE ALL
OUTSTANDING HEARINGS AND
DEADLINES
Hon. Susan Illston
ORDER
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to this Honorable Court that, on November 10, 2011, further to two mediation sessions (held over a series of three days in total), the Parties in the above-referenced matter and their counsel of record have agreed to settle this Class Action litigation.
The Parties, by and through their counsel, are currently negotiating and drafting a detailed Class Action Settlement Agreement which will be submitted to the Court by way of a Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement no later than January 31, 2012, but in all likelihood, sometime in December 2011.
In order to facilitate finalization of the relevant documents and subsequent presentation of the proposed Class Action Settlement Agreement to the Court for Preliminary Approval, the Parties request the Court vacate all outstanding hearings and deadlines (including the December 12, 2011 deadline for submitting Plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification), without prejudice to their re-setting if the Court does not approve of the Parties' Stipulation for Class Action Settlement.
The Parties agree that, in the event approval of their proposed Class Action Settlement is not obtained, the Parties will then return to the status quo ante in all respects.
