 1          Pursuant to the Clerk’s Notice dated August 3, 2023 (ECF No. 218) and L.R. 16-10(d),

 2   Plaintiffs Cat Brooks and Rasheed Shabazz (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendant Thomson Reuters

 3   Corporation (collectively, the “Parties”) submit this Joint Status Report in advance of the Case

 4   Management Conference set for September 19, 2023 in the above-captioned action.

 5      1. STATUS UPDATE

 6          On July 31, 2023, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification (ECF No.

 7   213), and publicly entered the order on the docket on August 10, 2023 (ECF No. 222). On

 8   August 14, 2023, Thomson Reuters filed its Rule 23(f) Petition for Permission to Appeal the

 9   Court’s Order Granting Class Certification in the Ninth Circuit, and on September 7, 2023,

10   Plaintiffs filed their Response. No decision has yet been issued regarding Thomson Reuters’

11   Rule 23(f) Petition. Simultaneous with its granting of class certification, the Court set a status

12   conference for August 8, 2023 (ECF No. 214) which, by stipulated request of the parties, was

13   continued to September 19, 2023 (ECF No. 217; ECF No. 218).

14          The operative case management schedule (ECF No. 84) additionally required the

15   parties to meet and confer within 14 days of a ruling on the motion for class certification

16   regarding deadlines for trial expert disclosures and discovery, pre-trial deadlines, and a trial

17   date. The parties met and conferred on August 14 and August 31 regarding the schedule, and

18   will submit a proposed schedule separately for the Court’s consideration.

      Dated: September 12, 2023                           Respectfully submitted,
