WHEREAS, the Parties reached a Stipulation of Settlement (“Settlement Agreement”) in

the related matter of Martin, et al. v. Global Marketing Research Services, Inc., Case No. 6:14-

cv-1290-ORL-31-KRS (M.D. FL) (the “Martin litigation”), which would resolve this California

litigation, and submitted their proposed Settlement Agreement for approval by the court in the

Martin litigation on March 18, 2016 (Martin Dkt. 97-1);

WHEREAS, the Martin court issued its Order granting Preliminary Settlement Approval

on March 29, 2016 (Martin Dkt. 98) and set the Final Approval Hearing for August 16, 2016;

WHEREAS, on August 16, 2016, at the Final Approval Hearing in the Martin litigation,

the Martin court heard argument regarding the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the

Settlement Agreement and held an evidentiary hearing for the related matter of attorney’s fees.

At the close of the hearing, the Martin court advised it would not issue its final ruling until the

finality of the claims process and ordered the Parties to submit a final claims count following the

expiration of the claims deadline;

WHEREAS the claims deadline has now passed, the Parties submitted a final claims

count to the Martin court on October 28, 2016, and the Parties believe that the Martin court will

approve the Settlement Agreement at some point within the next several weeks;

WHEREAS, once the Martin court approves the Settlement Agreement, the claims in this

case will also be resolved, and the Parties will thereafter submit a Stipulation of Dismissal of this

California litigation;

WHEREAS, the Parties filed Joint Stipulations to Stay All Litigation Deadlines in the

California litigation on April 1, 2016 and August 31, 2016 (Zilveti Dkt. 52, 54), which this Court

granted on April 4, 2016 and September 1, 2016, respectively (Zilveti Dkt. 53, 55);

WHEREAS, the Parties are in agreement and believe there is good cause to extend the

stay of all litigation deadlines in this instant action, pending the Martin court’s entry of its Final

Settlement Approval Order, after which time the Parties shall file a stipulation to dismiss this

case in its entirety; and

WHEREAS, the Parties agree to promptly apprise this Court if entry of the final order is

continued or not granted for any reason;
