WHEREAS, on January 7, 2019, the Parties filed a stipulation and proposed order (Dkt. 27, "January 7 Stipulation") to stay the Action in anticipation of Nevro's motion to dismiss a factually related and earlier-filed securities class action pending in this Court and captioned as Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System v. Nevro Corporation, et al., 18-cv-05181-VC (the "Class Action"), in which the plaintiffs asserted federal securities claims against the Company and certain of its officers and directors;

WHEREAS, on August 26, 2019, the Court issued an order lifting the stay in this Action and directing the parties to "file a joint status report proposing how [the Action] should proceed" (Dkt. 32);

WHEREAS, in light of the Court's ruling on Nevro's motion to dismiss the factually related Class Action, Plaintiff desires to dismiss this Action without prejudice, and the Parties have agreed to the voluntary dismissal of this Action without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a) with each party to bear its own costs;

WHEREAS, neither Nominal Defendant Nevro nor Defendants have made or promised any payment, direct or indirect, to Plaintiff or his counsel in consideration of the dismissal of this Action;

WHEREAS, no Party shall seek reimbursement from any other party of any fees, costs, expenses, or damages in connection with the filing, prosecution, defense or dismissal of this Action;

WHEREAS, this Stipulation Regarding Voluntary Dismissal is without prejudice and does not constitute or imply any admission or confession by any party regarding the basis for the Plaintiff's allegations in the Action or the merits of any claims or defenses raised therein;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby jointly request that the Court enter an Order: Dismissing Plaintiff's claims and this Action without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a), with each party to bear their own costs and attorneys' fees.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
