ORDER
_________
As discussed with the Court in recent status conferences, the parties have been in the
process of negotiating a nationwide class settlement that encompasses this case and a similar
case in Florida. The parties report having reached agreement as to all material terms of the
settlement and intend to file a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement with the
Florida court by the end of September. (Doc. no. 261.) Because the settlement will dispose
of this case, the parties request this case be stayed pending approval of the proposed
settlement and closed for statistical reporting purposes.
Upon consideration, the Court GRANTS the Joint Motion to Stay Proceedings. The
Court STAYS this case and DIRECTS the Clerk to administratively close the case for
statistical reporting purposes. The parties shall file a joint status report concerning approval
of the proposed settlement by December 21, 2017. Notwithstanding the administrative

closure, any party may, by written motion, seek to re-open this case to obtain the Court’s
approval of dismissal of this action, or any other necessary or appropriate relief.
SO ORDERED this 25th day of September, 2017, at Augusta, Georgia.
