FERAL INTERACTIVE LIMITED and APPLE INC. (individually and

12

1.

On December 7, 2017, following the settlement conference herein, the

13

Court entered a docket order stating that: “[The] Parties agreed to settlement term

14

sheet, subject to long-form agreement anticipated within 7 days, and dismissal to

15

follow within 30 days after. Magistrate Judge Cousins retains jurisdiction to

16

enforce term sheet.” Based on this docket order the Court is expecting a notice of

17

dismissal on or before January 16, 2017;

18

2.

The parties have been diligently working to complete the confidential

19

written settlement agreement (which has several complex moving parts) in accord

20

with the term sheet agreed to at the settlement conference, and the revised draft of

21

the agreement is currently being reviewed by Plaintiffs’ counsel;

22

3.

The parties will not complete the written settlement in time such that

23

the case will be dismissed within the Court’s expected time frame. The parties, in

24

good faith, believe that the paperwork and settlement will likely require an

25

additional two weeks to finalize (including getting signatures from the many

26

parties) which will call for the dismissal of the case with prejudice.
