request additional time to finalize the documentation and submit it to the Court. 

In the meantime, because the proposed settlement will resolve all issues in the case, 

the parties do not wish to waste the Court’s or the parties’ resources with additional 

litigation costs. For these reasons, the parties ask that the Court vacate all future calendar 

deadlines, including the date for MIDP responses. The parties will continue to inform the 

Court of their progress regarding the settlement documentation, and presently anticipate 

submitting settlement documentation by August 15, 2018.
