JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.

WHEREAS, the Parties have continued to work diligently with the assistance of Hon. Daniel Weinstein (Ret.) to finalize the terms of the settlement agreement, but are still working to resolve certain issues related to the anticipated settlement agreement;
WHEREAS, given the large number of parties and the complexity of the issues involved, the Parties agree that they require additional time to complete negotiations in order to finalize the anticipated settlement agreement, and therefore agree that extending the deadlines relating to Plaintiffs' anticipated motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement will assist in facilitating resolution of the action;1
WHEREAS, because all deadlines in this action have been vacated, save for those relating to Plaintiffs' anticipated motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement, the time modifications requested by the Parties below will not affect the schedule for the case except as set forth below.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, between the Parties, by and through their Counsel, and subject to the Court's approval, that the deadlines relating to Plaintiffs' anticipated motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement be modified as follows:
