ORDER RE: LAWRENCE R.

KAUFMANN’S WITHDRAWAL OF 

MOTION TO INTERVENE AND

OBJECTION TO SETTLEMENT

On November 15, 2006, the Court received a letter from an attorney on behalf of

Lawrence R. Kaufmann (“Kaufmann”), dated November 13, 2006, along with Kaufmann’s

declaration, by which documents Kaufmann notified the Court that Kaufman was

withdrawing his motion to intervene in the instant action.

Kaufmann may, without court approval, withdraw his motion to intervene, and the

Court considers said motion to be withdrawn. A class member’s objections to a proposed

class action settlement “may be withdrawn only with the court’s approval,” however. See

Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(e)(4)(B). Kaufmann’s motion to intervene contains various objections to

the proposed settlement in the instant action. Accordingly, the Court must determine

whether to approve Kaufmann’s request to withdraw said objections, or to deny

Kaufmann’s request and consider said objections at the January 19, 2007 fairness hearing.

Court should approve Kaufmann’s motion to withdraw his objections to the proposed

settlement. The matter will be taken under submission at that time, unless the Court, after

reviewing the parties’ submissions, determines oral argument would assist the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
