The parties have jointly stipulated to amend the court’s Order Granting

18

Preliminary Approval, ECF Nos. 59 & 61. Having reviewed the Stipulation and

19

supporting materials, the court directs the parties to submit a joint statement

20

explaining the appropriateness of the cy pres distribution; addressing how the

21

remedy is the “‘next best distribution’ of settlement funds” and how it “bears a

22

substantial nexus to the interests of the class members.” Lane v. Facebook, Inc.,

23

696 F.3d 811, 821 (9th Cir. 2012) (internal quotations omitted) (citation

24

25

approve the cy pres distribution. The joint statement and any stipulation shall be

26

filed within fourteen days. The court again defers any decision on the parties’

27

stipulation at ECF No. 59.
