The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
20 Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:

(1)
Having reviewed the Status Report filed by the parties on April 23, 2019,
docket no. 75, the Court DIRECTS as follows:

(a)
In the Status Report, the parties indicate that the claims “in this suit”
have been resolved and request that the Court dismiss with prejudice and without
costs “the pending declaratory judgment actions consolidated as No. 2:15-cv1987-TSZ.” The case bearing the number 2:15-cv-1987-TSZ (or C15-1987) was,
however, closed when it was consolidated with this matter (C15-1982). See Order
(docket no. 13). The parties have separately stated in their Status Report that they
want this matter (C15-1982) to remain pending because performance pursuant to
the parties’ “Term Sheet” is ongoing and they have not yet reached agreement on
the issue of post-judgment interest. The Court therefore declines to dismiss any
claims in this matter at this time.

(b)
The parties are DIRECTED to file another Joint Status Report within
ninety (90) days of the date of this Minute Order concerning whether the parties
have executed a final settlement agreement and, if so, whether this case can be
dismissed with prejudice and without costs. Absent a timely submitted Joint
Status Report, the Court will assume that this matter has been resolved and will
enter its standard order of dismissal, which gives the parties sixty (60) days to
move to reopen in the event they do not perfect their settlement.
