5
6

WHEREAS on January 16, 2013, Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Preliminary Approval of
Class Action Settlement (“Motion for Preliminary Approval”) (Docket No. 169);

7

WHEREAS on February 26, 2013, the Court entered its Order Requiring Further Briefing

8

Regarding Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement and Continuing Hearing

9

(“Order Requiring Further Briefing) (Docket No. 170);

10

WHEREAS the Court’s Order Requiring Further Briefing sets a March 15, 2013, deadline

13

WHEREAS Plaintiffs and Defendant have been working diligently to negotiate an

The parties therefore respectfully request that the Court grant Plaintiffs one additional week, until

20

WHEREAS Plaintiffs and Acer America agree that the deadline for Plaintiffs to submit

22
