BENJAMIN H. SETTLE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pursuant to Local Rule 7(d)(1), Plaintiff Raymond Williams (“Plaintiff') and Defendants GEICO General Insurance Company (“GEICO”) and CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. (“CCC”) (collectively, the “Parties”), stipulated as follows:
1. WHEREAS, on July 29, 2021, this Court entered an Order (Dkt. No. 97) staying this matter and ordering the Parties to provide the Court with a joint written status report and proposed case schedule within ten days after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its mandate in Lundquist v. FirstNat'lIns. Co. of Am. (“Lara”), Case No. 21-35126 (9th Cir. 2021).
2. On February 11, 2022, the Ninth Circuit filed its opinion in Lara affirming Judge Bryan's denial of class certification in Lundquist v. FirstNat'lInsurance Co. of Am., Case No. 3:18-cv-05301-RJB. Lara, Dkt. No. 86; Lara v. FirstNat'lIns. Co. of Am., 25 F.4th 1134 (9th Cir. 2022).
3. On March 28, 2022, the plaintiffs-appellants in Lara petitioned for rehearing and rehearing en banc. Lara, Dkt. No. 89.
4. On May 10, 2022, the Ninth Circuit denied the petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc in Lara. Lara, Dkt. No. 106.
5. On June 7, 2022, the Ninth Circuit issued its mandate in Lara. Lara, Dkt. No. 111. Accordingly, the deadline for the Parties to submit their joint status report was initially June 17, 2022.
6. The parties subsequently filed several motions to extend the deadline to submit their joint status report, and the current deadline is now March 21, 2023.
7. The Parties jointly and respectfully requested an additional extension of 30 days for the deadline to submit a joint status report. The Parties are attempting to work our certain details of a settlement agreement, and the requested extension will allow the Parties to do so without the pressure of immediate court deadlines.
8. Based on the foregoing, the Parties stipulated and agreed that good cause exists to extend the deadline to submit a joint status report to April 21, 2023.
PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
