On June 3, 2021, the parties participated in a settlement conference before the Court.
20 The parties agreed to settle this matter. The parties continue to cooperate in good faith to
21 follow the necessary procedures to finalize the settlement and regularly updated the Court
22 regarding the status. See ECF #25, #27.
23
The parties have agreed to all terms and prepared all documents necessary
24 to resolve this case. The final administrative step in the process of consummating
25 this agreement is approval by the Acting Assistant Attorney General pursuant to 28
26 C.F.R. §§ 0.160(a)(3), 0.168(d)(2). On September 2, 2021, Acting Assistant
27 Attorney General Brian M. Boynton provided final approval.

Now that the administrative steps are complete the United States Attorney’s

Office has initiated the required process to request that the Department of the
2
Treasury electronically transfer the settlement amount. Normally this process takes
3
less than 30 days, so the parties anticipate that they will file a notice of dismissal
4
within 30 days without assistance from the Court. Should this expectation not be
5
met, the parties will provide another status report to the Court on or before October
6
8, 2021.

Respectfully submitted this 8th day of September, 2021.
