This putative class action was recently transferred to this Court following Judge Gilliam’s
order of recusal. Dkt. Nos. 152, 153. Pursuant to Judge Gilliam’s February 20, 2015 order, the

15
No. 12-cv-01633-CRB, 2014 WL 2702726 (N.D. Cal. June 13, 2014). Dkt. No. 152. The parties
16
are directed to file joint status updates every six months during the course of the stay, informing
17
the Court of any material developments in the pending appeal. The parties shall file the first joint
18
status update six months from the date of this order.

In addition, as directed by Judge Gilliam, “[w]ithin 14 days of the Ninth Circuit’s decision

20
in Jones, the parties shall file a notice of the decision with the Court. With that notice, the parties shall

21
submit a joint statement outlining their plans with respect to any motion for class certification and

22
shall propose a briefing schedule for that motion. The Court will set a case management conference to
