2. The parties also informed the Court that they anticipated finalizing a written 

settlement agreement and filing a motion for preliminary approval by November 15, 2023. Id.

5. The parties have worked out all remaining issues with respect to the settlement 

agreement, they have prepared notice documents with the assistance of a Claims Administrator, 

and Plaintiffs have prepared a motion for preliminary approval. The parties request a short 

extension to allow sufficient time for all parties to sign the settlement agreement and for Plaintiffs 

to then file the motion for preliminary approval. 

6. The parties believe that they can obtain all necessary signatures and then file the 

motion for preliminary approval by no later than December 4, 2023, and therefore request an 

extension until that date.

WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that the Court grant their request to extend 

the deadline for filing a motion for preliminary approval to December 4, 2023.

Dated: November 30, 2023 Respectfully Submitted,
