NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT IN PRINCIPLE AND JOINT REQUEST TO VACATE DEADLINES 
AND SET FURTHER DEADLINES 
Case No. 3:21-cv-1418-EMC-KAW 
Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2, 7-12, and 16-2(d), the parties—a certified class of 
California plaintiffs represented by class representatives Cat Brooks and Rasheed Shabazz 
and class counsel Gibbs Law Group LLP and Cohen Milstein Sellers Toll LLP, and Defendant 
Thomson Reuters, represented by Perkins Coie LLP—have reached an agreement in principle 
under the supervision of U.S. District Court Judge Layn Phillips (ret.) for the complete 
resolution of this certified class action. (Thomson Reuters Enterprise Centre GmbH is also a 
party to this agreement.)  
 Having reached an agreement in principle, the parties will next finalize a written 
settlement agreement, and Plaintiffs will prepare a motion for preliminary approval. To 
facilitate these next steps, the parties jointly request that the Court’s order dated October 26, 
2023 (Doc. 227) and all associated deadlines be vacated, that the current trial setting for this 
action be vacated, and that the Court set a deadline for the filing of a motion for preliminary 
approval by August 15, 2024. 
IT IS HEREBY JOINTLY REQUESTED THAT THE Court vacate all pending 
deadlines for this action and order that a motion for preliminary approval be filed by August 
15, 2024. 
 
 
Dated: May 17, 2024
