USDC Case No.: 2:12-cv-01580-TLN-DAD

REQUEST AND STIPULATION 

REGARDING APPROPRIATION OF 

FUNDS OVERPAID TO THE 

SETTLEMENT ACCOUNT; ORDER

Hearing: May 7, 2015

Time: 1:30 p.m.

Dept: 3

Judge: Hon. Troy Nunley

The Parties hereto request and stipulate that this Court consider refunding the monies 

overpaid to the settlement account in the amount of $23,392.39 to Defendant YIA YANG 

(“YANG”) in order for YANG to use such funds for payment towards Kemnitzer, Barron & 

Krieg’s attorney’s fees and costs. 

The parties submit that there is good cause for this request because of the following 

circumstances:

1. On or about July 30, 2014, Plaintiffs counsel filed Declarations on behalf of Bryan 

Kemnitzer and YANG approving the class settlement amount of $126,607.61.(see Docket No.149 )

2. YANG, Pacific Specialty Insurance Company, and Great American Insurance 

Company each deposited $50,000.00 into the class settlement account for a total amount of 

$150,00.00, pursuant to Court order. 

3. After payment of the $126,607.61 to class members (class fund), the amount 

remaining in the class settlement account will be $23,392.39.

4. The $23,392.39 is separate and apart from monies remaining in the Settlement Fund 

as described in Section 5.07 of the Settlement Agreement (see Docket No. 156-1).

5. On or about April 29, 2015, the parties agreed that the money overpaid to the 

class settlement account in the amount of $23,392.39 should be refunded to YANG in order for 

YANG to apply these funds towards payment of Plaintiffs counsel’s attorney’s fees and costs. 

These funds will only be used for payment of attorney’s fees and will not be applied toward any 

separate payments YANG is required to make pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. 

6. In an effort to alleviate any issues arising from overpayment of funds to the 

settlement account, the parties submit the following request and stipulation. 

REQUEST AND STIPULATION

That the Court refund the monies overpaid to the settlement account in the amount of 

$23,392.39. to Defendant YIA YANG (“YANG”) in order for YANG to use such funds for 

payment towards Kemnitzer, Barron & Krieg’s attorney’s fees and costs. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED:
