WHEREAS, pursuant to the deadlines established by ECF No. 21, on July 9, 2025, Plaintiffs
filed an amended complaint in this Action (the “Unjust Enrichment Action”) (ECF No. 22); on July 30,
2025, the Parties met and conferred regarding initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR process
selection, and discovery plan; and on July 30, 2025, the Parties filed ADR Certifications (ECF Nos.
23-25);
WHEREAS, on August 12, 2025, the Court entered a stipulation staying the remaining case
deadlines established by ECF No. 21 because the City Attorney for the City of Richmond, the
prosecuting authority for Plaintiffs (“Plaintiffs’ Prosecuting Authority”), filed a California False
Claims Act case against Royal Bank of Canada and JPMC based on allegations related to this action

agreed that, once the CA FCA Action was unsealed, they would seek relation of the two actions (ECF
No. 27);
WHEREAS, on September 30, 2025, the parties to the Unjust Enrichment Action moved to
relate the CA FCA Action to this case (ECF No. 28);
WHEREAS, on October 1, 2025, the Court entered an order relating the CA FCA Action to this
case (ECF No. 30);
WHEREAS, the parties to the two actions met and conferred and determined that, since
Plaintiffs’ Prosecuting Authority intended to amend the complaint in the CA FCA Action, the parties
should wait to set further deadlines until after the amendment is filed so that they can confer regarding
whether they will stipulate to consolidate the actions and, if so, for what purposes;
WHEREAS, the Court entered a stipulated order providing a deadline of December 5, 2025 for
Plaintiffs’ Prosecuting Authority to file an amended complaint in the CA FCA Action and a deadline
of 14 days after the amended CA FCA Action complaint is filed for the parties to jointly propose new
case management deadlines to replace the deadlines in ECF No. 21 that this Court stayed in ECF No.
27 (ECF No. 34);
WHEREAS Plaintiffs’ Prosecuting Authority to filed an amended complaint in the CA FCA
Action on December 5, 2025, and the parties are continuing to confer regarding new case management
deadlines and coordination with the CA FCA action;
