Plaintiff Scott Johnson (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Monetary Management of California, 

Inc. (“MMCA”) (Plaintiff and MMCA collectively referred to as the “Parties”) hereby submit this 

Joint Status Report in response to the Court’s February 26, 2020 Minute Order. 

From approximately September 2018 to December 2018, the Parties and Defendant 

Anthony Chan, through their counsel, negotiated a confidential settlement agreement and release 

of this matter. The Parties and Defendant Anthony Chan finalized the settlement agreement. The 

Parties circulated the finalized settlement agreement to their respective clients for signature. On 

or about December 6, 2018, the Parties executed a confidential settlement agreement and release 

of this matter. The Parties anticipated that Defendant Anthony Chan would be a signatory to the 

settlement agreement. MMCA’s counsel sent at least 15 emails and left multiple voicemail 

messages for then-counsel for Defendant Anthony Chan to attempt to secure Chan’s signature. 

Notwithstanding not being able to secure Chan’s signature on the settlement agreement, 

MMCA’s counsel sent a check to Plaintiff’s counsel on or about December 10, 2018 pursuant to 

the settlement agreement executed between the Parties. Defendant completed all of its 

obligations pursuant to the settlement agreement. Plaintiff’s counsel cashed MMCA’s settlement 

check but has not yet filed for dismissal of this action of MMCA with prejudice, in violation of 

the settlement agreement. 

As MMCA has performed all of its obligations pursuant to the Parties’ executed 

settlement agreement, the Parties hereby jointly request that this Court enter dismissal of MMCA 

with prejudice.
