| Filing 24 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: In response to an inquiry about the stipulated dismissal, R. 23, the attorneys called the courtroom deputy on a conference call to report that they would like another three weeks. To avoid unnecessary status hearings and to provide time to file the stipulated dismissal with prejudice, the case is dismissed without prejudice and with full leave to reinstate via motion filed by 03/05/2018. If no motion to reinstate is filed by that date, then the dismissal will automatically convert to a dismissal with prejudice, without further action by the Court. Status hearing of 02/01/2018 is vacated. Civil case terminated. Emailed notice (slb, ) |

Chang: The parties jointly reported to the courtroom deputy, in an email, that they believe that the case is settled, and asked for 30 days to finalize the agreement.

| Filing 21 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Status hearing held. Attorney Megan Rhodes appeared by telephone for Defendant. Both sides reported on the status of discovery: the parties exchanged written discovery responses as required on 08/17/2017.
