The Court of Appeals subsequently affirmed this Court’s order granting class certification. (Dkt.

No. 116.) The Supreme Court denied certiorari and the Court of Appeals entered its mandate in

agreement. (Dkt. Nos. 126, 127.) Accordingly, the parties ask the Court to continue the current

26

stay of proceedings until May 11, 2018 in order to finalize the terms of the settlement. (Dkt. No.
