Re: 
United States of America v. Visa Inc., No. 1:24-cv-7214 (JGK) 
In re: Visa Debit Card Antitrust Litig., No. 1:24-cv-7435 (JGK) 
 
Dear Judge Koeltl:  
 
All parties in the two above-captioned related cases write jointly to provide a status update 
regarding a deposition protocol.  
 
In case management orders (CMOs) recently entered in both cases, the parties explained 
their intent to file, within two weeks of the CMOs’ entries, Deposition Protocol and Coordination 
Orders to facilitate the coordination of discovery between the actions. See Case No. 1:24-cv-7435, 
Dkt. No. 184 ¶ 7(c) (Jan. 15, 2026); Case No. 1:24-cv-7214, Dkt. No. 123 ¶ 14 (Jan. 22, 2026). 
The parties have worked diligently and cooperatively to reach agreement on a Protocol and have 
narrowed existing disputes but have not yet reached full agreement. The parties believe that with 
an extra week, they could narrow their disputes still further and perhaps reach consensus. 
Accordingly, the parties now intend to file a Deposition Protocol and Coordination Order in both 
matters within one week of this letter (February 13, 2026); if they are unable to reach consensus 
by that time, the parties will instead file a further status update by the same date. 
 
Respectfully, 
 
By:  /s/ Craig Conrath
