Order Granting Preliminary Approval. Dkt. #51, pg. 7, §K.
The Notice Mailing Deadline was August 22, 2024. Home Depot provided Simpluris, the
Court-appointed administrator, with Class Members’ contact information on August 22, 2024.
This was a prerequisite to preparing settlement notices for distribution prior to the deadline.
Thus, Simpluris was unable to meet the deadline.

The current schedule for final approval provides a buffer of approximately four weeks

10

between the completion of briefing (November 22, 2024) and the Final Approval Hearing

11

(December 19, 2024). As such, the Parties respectfully request the Court extend the following

to respond to distributed notices.
