Plaintiffs, along with Defendants Yahoo! Inc. (“Yahoo”) and Aabaco Small 

Business, LLC (together, “Defendants”), having met and conferred, hereby provide 

this Joint Status Report, as directed by the Court in its January 29, 2019 Order 

Regarding Further Proceedings. ECF No. 354. 

On January 28, 2019, the Court denied Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary 

approval of class action settlement. ECF Nos. 353 & 357.1 The next day, on January 

29, 2019, the Court ordered the parties to “file a joint status report indicating how they 

wish to proceed.” ECF No. 354. The Court indicated it would “likely stay the instant 

MDL case for 60 days” “[i]f the parties wish to engage in further settlement 

negotiations.” Id. 

Immediately following the Court’s denial of the preliminary approval motion, 

the parties met and conferred and are engaged in active and ongoing settlement 

negotiations to address the concerns raised in the Court’s order denying preliminary 

approval. 

Accordingly, the parties respectfully request the Court stay this action for 60 

days so they can “engage in further settlement negotiations” to address the issues 

raised by the Court. ECF No. 354. The parties will file a new settlement agreement 

and preliminary approval motion within 60 days of the issuance of such a stay.
