TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

Pursuant to the Parties’ Third Joint CMS, ECF No. 42, filed on August 26, 2015, the

Parties hereby give notice to the Court that they have reached a fully executed Settlement

Agreement and Release (“Settlement Agreement”) as of October 15, 2015, a true and correct

copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. As stated in their Settlement Agreement, Plaintiffs

will file a motion for settlement class certification and related documents in conjunction with the

Parties’ motion for preliminary approval of the Settlement Agreement, which will be filed on or

before November 30, 2015, forty-five (45) days subsequent to the full execution of the Settlement

Agreement. The Parties will then pursue final approval in accordance with the procedures set

forth on the Court’s website, found at www.cand.uscourts.gov/ClassActionSettlementGuidence.

The Parties request that the Court issue an order suspending the litigation dates it set forth

in its September 2, 2015 Case Management Order, ECF No. 43, so that the Parties can focus their

attention and resources on seeking final approval of the Settlement Agreement.
