Summary
A joint status report filed January 17, 2025 in Oto Analytics, LLC v. Benworth Capital Partners PR, LLC, Case No. 3:23-cv-01034-GMM, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. Womply, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Benworth defendants submit it in response to the court's January 3, 2025 Order (ECF No. 198). The report states that Womply and the defendants reached a settlement and that the Reserve Bank received the settlement agreement on January 6, 2025. Based on a representation by the defendants about the settlement funds, the Reserve Bank does not oppose closing the Womply Action, including dismissal of its Complaint in Intervention (ECF No. 146) as moot, while reserving its rights. It plans a discovery update on February 3, 2025 and still seeks relief in the pending motion to compel (ECF No. 184).

JOINT STATUS REPORT
Pursuant to this Court’s January 3, 2025 Order (ECF No. 198), Plaintiff/Defendant in
Intervention Oto Analytics, LLC (f/k/a Oto Analytics, Inc. d/b/a Womply) (“Womply”), Plaintiff-
Intervenor Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“Reserve Bank”; together with Womply,
“Plaintiffs”), and Defendants Benworth Capital Partners PR, LLC, Benworth Capital Partners,
LLC, Bernardo Navarro, and Claudia Navarro (collectively, “Defendants”; together with
Plaintiffs, the “Parties”), through their undersigned counsel, respectfully submit this Joint Status
Report.
On January 2, 2025, the Parties filed a Joint Status Report (ECF No. 197) informing the
Court that Womply and Defendants reached a settlement in Civil No. 23-01034 (the “Womply
Action”).
The Reserve Bank requested production of the settlement agreement on January 2, 2025;
production was made on January 6, 2025. In response to questions regarding the settlement, the
Reserve Bank has received the limited additional information it requested, including a
representation from Defendants that the funds used to effectuate their settlement with Womply do
not include any funds subject to the Reserve Bank’s security interest or otherwise constitute the
Reserve Bank’s collateral. Based on this representation, and while reserving all rights, the Reserve
Bank does not oppose the closure of the Womply Action, including dismissal of the Reserve
Bank’s Complaint in Intervention against Womply and Defendants (ECF No. 146) as moot.
However, the Reserve Bank reserves all rights in respect of any claims the Reserve Bank
has or may have arising out of the execution or consummation of the settlement, including
concerning the transfer of funds to Womply pursuant to the settlement, and the Parties agree that
any such claims are not affected in any way by the Court’s partial judgment dismissing Womply’s
claims against Defendants. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties also agree with the Court’s
Case 3:23-cv-01034-GMM Document 199 Filed 01/17/25 Page 2 of 6

prior observation that its partial judgment does not affect any claims asserted in the Reserve Bank’s
standalone action (ECF No. 196). Regarding these claims, the Reserve Bank intends to update the
Court on February 3, 2025 regarding ongoing discovery. However, for the avoidance of doubt,
the Reserve Bank continues to request the relief sought against Defendants in the pending motion
to compel originally filed by Womply (ECF No. 184) and timely joined by the Reserve Bank (ECF
No. 188).
