IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PATRICK J. MCGEE,

Plaintiff,

 v.

ROSS STORES,

Defendant. /

No. C 06-07496 CRB

NOTICE ORDER

The Publication Notice, Long-Form Notice, and Opt-Out Form proposed by the

plaintiff clearly and concisely state in plain, easily-understood language the nature of the

action and satisfy the notification requirements imposed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

23(c)(2)(B). Including the term “willfully” in the notices’ paragraph describing the nature of

the case is not inappropriately prejudicial to Ross. To the contrary, plaintiff’s proposed

notices accurately explain that the lawsuit alleges that Ross willfully violated federal law. 

The defendant’s alternate language is unnecessary and verbose.

Plaintiff’s Publication Notice shall be published after February 4, 2008, but on or

before February 11, 2008.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 15, 2008
