Re: ECF No. 176

Defendants.

12

Before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Motion for Discovery seeking either (1) authorization to

13

serve Defendants Sang Park and Tae Young Hwang pursuant to Fed R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3), or (2) a

14

partial lifting of the PSLRA discovery stay to obtain necessary information to serve them. ECF

15

No. 176. As of January 11, 2016, this matter was fully briefed. See ECF No. 179.

16

Prior to this motion, the parties filed a Notice of Settlement on December 11, 2015, which

17

stated that an agreement has been reached with respect to all claims asserted against Defendants

18

Park and Hwang, among other parties. ECF No. 174. At a Telephonic Case Management

19

Conference held on January 22, 2016, the Plaintiffs, as well as the Defendants who have reached a

20

settlement agreement, informed the Court that they believe the Motion for Discovery is moot in

21

light of the agreement. The Motion for Discovery is therefore vacated without prejudice to the
