point five percent of the common front is the amount word to put this in some sort of context just to mean those in the district of puerto rico in two thousand and eleven wrote a decision here the number stablish was fifteen to thirty three and a third percent and this drastic and dramatic deviation from the settlement agreement from the established parameters that the part that we submit was clear all of these amenities were violations of massachusetts long beach was spawned by a separate i will see each one of these properties by i just don't see essentially the equivalent of the taxi cab company where every medallions in a different corporation joe johns said no you can do this one at a time each l l c you have to write your own ninety three demand letter you need to have a class representative and so this case was forcibly split off fourteen point five percent was awarded and that's what ten percent and this one is by a factor of almost five times smaller than mt the point about class actions is not that they necessarily require we don't to do that then you are not only upsetting subtle law but also the policy behind this all the policy behind the subtle war is we're going to work at the benefit that the attorneys create and not the work that they do first because it's a simpler easier better way to do it and secondly because it encourages settlements and it adequately rewards attorneys for the results to it she for the clients and not simply for how much they can  which is what courts often do when they awarded a percentage of them on the idea is to ensure that there is a some reasonable relationship between the two numbers show room for sixty thousand dollars in legal fees in the brief the  after a week is suggested but no more than forty three thousand should be thought this was only twenty nine thousand and there was no statement or anything on the record by the judge to indicate that he used the word star or to say why he reduce lone star produces twenty thousand dollars at fifty percent of the common fund would have been one hundred eighty five thousand dollars it's when i was a kid i used to go to the carnival and you'd pick a duck out of pond and if it was a ninety get it big stuff and if it was the one you get one of those little things that you put your fingers in you couldn't get it out that's not the way the war supposed to work you often hear is the war on star you get twenty nine choose the percentage of the final method and you get something over the over two hundred thousand dollars i don't think that's the way the law is intended to operate certainly not in the context of a settlement agreement where the parties have agreed and part of that consider dollars in the someone agreement that's not the case but the someone who says is that we will not object to a feed that is one hundred ninety five thousand dollars or less stipulation regarding the proper feet in this case as a matter of fact that's why the feet issue had to be resolved by the district court the parties could not reach an agreement on we could not reach an agreement because frankly on their promise made it clear that they were going to seek thirty three percent of the estimated value of this settlement and we felt that was too hot and because it wasn't one of those issues that you let a settlement agreement go down and remember we simply agreed to disagree and needed to the district court those are the facts in terms of method and that would show that fifteen percent is reasonable that's the most they ever said that i think is persuasive evidence of the intent of the parties in entering into the settlement agreement number two  judge's decision in part if it were done on the all star method would have required the some explanation for why he brought the numbers down the nation this for the record anywhere at the fairness hearing the written anywhere is number of persons who actually applied to the front and got money from it which is contrary to the law of the circle there is no reason to believe that he did not do that in this case because he specifically says he looked at the benefit  sure but i think within the range of discretion that we can see and judge to make is the situation which by the way is cases which settle before trial and with little or no substantial discovery so those numbers i gave you ten percent fourteen point five percent seventeen point five percent those are all in cases like this one in which there was almost no discovery my time is up thank you so much
