ORDER STAYING CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS
Before the court is the parties’ Joint Motion for Stay of Existing Deadlines. [377]. The

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the aforementioned proceedings are hereby
STAYED for 90 days and all upcoming deadlines in the Class Certification Scheduling Order by
90 days. If negotiations fail to produce a settlement in 90 days, the parties will resume litigation
