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.  
 
Since the last status update filed on February 6, 2026, the parties have continued to work 
diligently and cooperatively to reach agreement on a Protocol. The parties have significantly 
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 Deposition Protocol and Coordination Orders within 
one week of this letter (February 20, 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,
