On September 2, 2014, the Court extended the stay of this case, asking that the parties, by

completed settlement, requesting a further stay, or proposed a schedule to proceed with litigation.

See Dkt. No. 129.

The parties hereby notify the Court that they are still in the final stages of negotiating the

10

settlement. The parties again assure the Court that substantial progress has been made in

11

finalizing the documents needed to settle this case – with detailed deed in lieu documents having

12

been delivered which are now being considered with the settlement agreement also in the final

13

stages of review. The parties are now discussing final details of the settlement agreement and do

14

not at this time anticipate that a further extension of the stay will be necessary. The parties

15

therefore respectfully stipulate to and respectfully request that the Court enter an additional stay
