1 February 20, 2026 VIA ECF Honorable John G. Koeltl United States District Court for the Southern District of New York Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse 500 Pearl Street New York, NY 10007 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 13, 2026, the parties have continued to work diligently and cooperatively to reach agreement on a Protocol. The parties have further narrowed existing disputes, but have not yet reached full agreement. The parties believe that extra time and the filing of amended complaints in the private case on or before next Friday, February 27, 2026, see Case No. 1:24-cv-7435, Dkt. No. 184, at 4, may clarify disputed issues, allowing the parties to perhaps reach consensus. Accordingly, the parties now intend to file Deposition Protocol and Coordination Orders within two weeks of this letter (March 6, 2026); if they are unable to reach consensus by that time, the parties will instead file a further status update by the same date.
