Case No. 4:14-MD-02555-JSW
13348913v.1

1

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a), and subject to the Court’s approval, the parties hereby

2

stipulate to a dismissal with prejudice of the claims of the named plaintiffs in MDL No. 2555,

3

which consists of the following remaining actions:

4

a. George Engurasoff

4:13-cv-03990-JSW;

5

b. Joshua Ogden

4:13-cv-05017-JSW;

g. Michelle Marino

4:14-cv-04274-JSW; and

11

h. Thomas Woods

4:14-cv-01447-JSW.

12

The Ninth Circuit reversed this Court’s order certifying an injunctive relief class on August

13

31, 2021. Subject to this Court’s approval, the parties jointly stipulate to dismissal with prejudice

14

of all remaining claims of the named plaintiffs, with the parties to bear their own attorneys’ fees

15

and costs. Because there is no certified class, the dismissal will have no impact on any claim of

16

any absent putative class member.

17

This Amended Stipulation supersedes the Stipulation of Dismissal made on February 15,

18

2022 as Docket Number 244, and includes all named plaintiffs in all pending actions. This

19

Amended Stipulation also addresses the Court’s Order on the same at Docket Number 245.
