Defendants.

Pursuant to Local Rule 7(d)(1), Plaintiff Raymond Williams (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants GEICO General Insurance Company (“GEICO”) and CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. (“CCC”) (collectively, the “Parties”), hereby stipulate as follows:

1. WHEREAS, on July 29, 2021, this Court entered an Order (Dkt. No. 97) staying

this matter and ordering the Parties to provide the Court with a joint written status report and

proposed case schedule within ten days after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its mandate

in Lundquist v. First Nat’l Ins. Co. of Am. (“Lara”), Case No. 21-35126 (9th Cir. 2021). 2. On February 11, 2022, the Ninth Circuit filed its opinion in Lara affirming Judge Bryan’s denial of class certification in Lundquist v. First Nat’l Insurance Co. of Am., Case No.

3:18-cv-05301-RJB. Lara, Dkt. No. 86; Lara v. First Nat’l Ins. Co. of Am., 25 F.4th 1134 (9th

Cir. 2022).

3. On March 28, 2022, the plaintiffs-appellants in Lara petitioned for rehearing and rehearing en banc. Lara, Dkt. No. 89.

4. On May 10, 2022, the Ninth Circuit denied the petition for rehearing and rehearing

en banc in Lara. Lara, Dkt. No. 106. 5. On June 7, 2022, the Ninth Circuit issued its mandate in Lara. Lara, Dkt. No. 111. Accordingly, the deadline for the Parties to submit their joint status report was initially June 17,

2022.

6. The parties subsequently filed several motions to extend the deadline to submit their

joint status report, and the current deadline is now January 20, 2023.

7. The Parties jointly and respectfully request an additional extension of 30 days for

the deadline to submit a joint status report. The Parties have reached a settlement agreement in principle, and the requested extension will allow the Parties to document that agreement without

the pressure of immediate court deadlines.

8. Based on the foregoing, the Parties stipulate and agree that good cause exists to

extend the deadline to submit a joint status report to February 21, 2023.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this 20th day of January, 2023. A
