RE ExxonMobil Oil Corporation v. Hyr:r1:IuiM0bis C0., Ltd'., et rn'.,
C.A. N0. 07—177 (GMS)
Dear Chief fudge Sleet,
We are counsel to plaintiff Exxonlvlobil Oil Corporation (“Mobil") in the above-
referenced matter, Further to our letter of March l`/, 2008, we provide this updated status letter
to apprise the Court of ongoing developments in the parties’ efforts to reach a settlement in this
case. Counsel for defendants Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd., Mobis America, Inc., Mobis Parts
America, LLC, l\/Iobis Parts Detroit, LLC and Mobis Alabama, LLC (collectively, “Mobis")
have reviewed this letter and approved its tiling,
Since our status letter of March 17, counsel for the parties have continued to discuss
settlement and appear to have reached agreement in a number of areas., The parties continue to
work toward settlement diligently and in good faith, and continue to believe that the potential for
complete resolution of this case is very high, I-Iowever, because both companies operate globally
and offer many products and services, there remain a number of details to be resolved.
The parties very much appreciate the Court’s continued patience as they attempt to reach
an amicable settlement of the claims in this case. While this process has taken longer than the
parties had anticipated, the parties are hopeful that a settlement agreement will be reached within
the next sixty days.,
Therefore, if it is satisfactory to the Court, the parties respectfully propose to provide the
Court with a further update regarding the status of negotiations on or before July 21, 2008, As
