The settlement involves over forty individual plaintiffs and a proposed class

settlement of a related state action, which is why it is taking quite a bit of time to finalize.

The parties would like another four weeks to continue to discuss settlement, and have

agreed to extend by six weeks, from April 12, 2013 to May 24, 2013, Defendants’ responsive

pleading to Plaintiffs' complaint.
