1

On May 1, 2015, the Court entered an Order granting the parties’ Joint Stipulation Staying

Proceeding Pending Private Mediation and Extending Time for Defendant Homejoy, Inc. to

3

Respond to Complaint (“Order”). The Court ordered that “within 14 days after the mediation

4

concludes, the parties will report back to the Court on the status of the case and whether the stay

5

should be lifted. At that time, if the mediation was unsuccessful, the parties also will propose a

6

deadline for Homejoy to respond, answer, or otherwise plead in response to plaintiff’s

7

Complaint.”

Pursuant to this Order, Homejoy, Inc. (“Homejoy”) now provides the following report:

1.

Homejoy has decided to terminate operations at the end of the month, on July 31,

2.

On July 27, 2015, the Court granted Paul Hastings LLP’s request to withdraw as

3.

In connection with the termination of its operations, Homejoy expects to enter into

14

an Assignment for Benefit of Creditors under California law (“ABC”) in the next two weeks.

15

Homejoy has been informed that once it enters into the ABC, the assignee intends to appoint

16

replacement counsel.
