UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK 
 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 
Plaintiff, 
v.  
VISA INC., 
Defendant. 
 
 
Case No. 1:24-cv-07214-JGK-SLC 
 
 
 
STATUS REPORT REGARDING DATA 
Pursuant to the Status Report submitted to the Court on April 17, 2026, (ECF No. 152), 
the parties provide the following further status report on their negotiations regarding the data to 
be produced by Visa in discovery. Since the last report, Visa has begun producing the agreed-
upon authorization data on a rolling basis and is working on producing the agreed-upon active 
cards and fraud data in anticipation of the upcoming May 29, 2026 deadline.  
As the parties reported on April 10, 2026, (ECF No. 149), Visa has produced the agreed-
upon clearing and settlement data other than certain fields. The United States has agreed to 
accept several proposed field substitutes by Visa and drop the remaining requests for almost all 
of the fields at issue1 based on Visa’s representations. Among those representations, Visa 
informed the United States that Visa currently intends for its expert(s) to use the same static 
database (“AIM”) for clearing and settlement (“C&S”) data as it used to produce data out to the

include the fields at issue). While Visa intends at this time that its experts will use AIM as the 
source of C&S data, it reserves all rights to respond to the United States’ expert reports as 
appropriate. Visa has also represented that while it could try to revise the coding used to extract 
C&S data in-house, doing so would require that Visa re-do the complete C&S data extractions 
in-house even though its external consultants have already produced what Visa views as 
sufficient C&S data to the parties. Visa has represented that undertaking that work for the sole 
purpose of adding a handful of fields to the voluminous datasets already produced would be 
unduly burdensome. The United States reserves all rights to respond to Visa’s expert reports as 
appropriate, including renewal of its requests for the missing, previously agreed-upon fields.  
Visa reserves all rights to object to any such renewed request. 
The parties will continue to work together on discovery relating to data and will update 
the Court by June 19, 2026.
