Under the present case schedule, the deadline to hold a formal settlement conference
18
including representatives with authority to settle is September 7, 2021. See Dkt. 368. For several
19
months, IGT (“IGT”) and International Game Technology (“IGT Holdco”) (collectively, the “IGT
20
Defendants”) and Plaintiffs have engaged in telephonic settlement discussions between counsel.
21
Those discussions have developed such that Plaintiffs and IGT have now committed to exploring
22
in good faith whether to (i) hold a formal mediation with a third-party neutral, or (2) conduct a

Zoom videoconference with representatives with authority to settle.

approval—to stipulate to extend the formal settlement conference deadline from September 7,
26
