1.

The parties are currently finalizing a settlement, and thus, they would like to direct

their resources and time to settlement discussions.
2.

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.
3.

The state court has indicated that the motion for approval of the state court class

settlement should be filed no later than July 12, 2013.
4.

The settlement of the Plaintiffs' claims in this matter will be contingent upon court

approval of the class settlement.
5.

The parties would like additional time to finalize the settlement agreements and have

10

agreed to continue the deadline for Defendants' responsive pleading to Plaintiff's complaint from

11

May 24, 2013 until July 16, 2013.

The parties also request that the initial Case Management Conference, which is

scheduled for June 14, 2013, also be postponed to August 7, 2013.
