23

the filing of the Motion for Attorney's Fees and Costs within 30 days after final approval of the

24

class action settlement and the Court's entry of final judgment. ECF No. 135-2 ¶ 18. The Court

25

cannot preliminarily approve this settlement. If the parties wish to file a second amended joint

26

motion for preliminary approval of class action settlement, they must do so by 1 p.m. on Friday,

27

February 12, 2016. Otherwise, the hearing on the Amended Joint Motion for Preliminary
