LAUREN TARLECKI,

Plaintiff,

v.

 BEBE STORES, INC.

Defendant.

_____________________________________/

No. C 05-01777 MHP

ORDER

On April 16, 2007 the court held the second of two hearings on the parties’ joint motion to

amend the complaint and for preliminary approval of class action settlement. At the most recent

hearing, the court expressed its concern with several aspects of the proposed notice to be provided to

potential class members. The court ordered that the parties amend the notice and claim form. 

In accordance with the court’s instructions at the hearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1) The notice should state clearly that class members are not settling all wage and hour

claims but only those relating to defendant’s alleged uniform policy. 

2) The notice should include a statement indicating that participation in the settlement

may waive certain rights to statutory damages under some of the state law claims. 

3) The class definition must include a statement to the effect that the settled claims are

limited to those based on out-of-pocket expenditure for defendant’s merchandise. 

4) With respect to the state law claims, the notice and claim form should indicate

clearly that submitting a claim form accomplishes two things: a) participation in the

settlement.; b) an indication that the class member is not opting out of the state law

class and will be bound by the settlement and barred from pursuing her own state law
