The parties in this case attended court-sponsored mediation on June 15, 2015 at which the

13

case partially settled. [Docket No. 35]. The Plaintiff filed a notice of settlement on July 28, 2015

[Docket No. 37], informing the court that they had reached an agreement that fully resolved the

15

claims in this case.

Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees [Docket No. 41] is currently before the court. The

17

parties’ briefing on the Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees did not address whether the parties

The parties shall submit a joint letter to the court stating whether, when the parties reached

20

a tentative agreement on injunctive relief: 1) Plaintiff provided Defendants with a statement of

2) whether Defendants requested, and Plaintiff provided documentation and support for its
