Plaintiffs, the United States of America and Relator Joe Strom, and Defendants, Scios,
Inc. and Johnson & Johnson, respectfully submit this Joint Status Report.
1. On September 4, 2013, the Court issued an order based on the parties’ stipulation to
continue the stay of this case.

5

2. A status conference is scheduled for October 18, 2013.

6

3. As we have previously reported, the United States and Defendants have reached an

7

agreement in principle on settling the above-captioned case.

8

4. Due to the lapse in federal appropriations that began on October 1, 2013, the parties

9

need additional time to finalize the settlement. We therefore request that the stay be continued

10
11

until Congress has restored appropriations to the federal agencies.
5. The parties propose to submit a further joint status report within seven calendar days

12

of the date that federal appropriations are restored, requesting a new date for the status

13

conference.

14

Respectfully submitted,
