JOINT STATUS REPORT

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, JR., District Judge.

Pursuant to its Order, filed January 18, 2019, the Court stayed this action to permit the parties to continue their exploration of an informal resolution to their disputes in multiple states and, if this case did not resolve, directed the parties to file a joint status report not later than today's date. Docket No. 19.

Plaintiffs Service Joy Corporation, Rakesh Reddy, and Ashika Reddy, through their counsel Natalia Asbill-Bearor, Perkins & Associates, A Professional Corporation, and Defendant YGM Franchise, LLC, through its counsel John Kinn, Segal & Associates, PC, have continued significant settlement negotiations but have not concluded these discussions. Given their work and travel schedules, counsel anticipate settlement efforts will conclude within the next sixty days. Plaintiffs and their franchised businesses are located in the State of Washington and Sacramento, California, while Defendant franchisor is located in the State of South Carolina. The parties respectfully submit this Joint Status Report and request the Court stay this action and toll all obligations through April 2019 to allow the parties to conclude efforts to resolve their disputes, including this case.
