MDL No. 1917

No. CV-07-5944-SC

ORDER ON CONDITIONAL

OBJECTIONS RE ATTORNEY FEES

AND VACATING HEARING ON 

PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF 

INDIRECT PURCHASER CLASS 

SETTLEMENTS

This Order Relates To:

ALL INDIRECT PURCHASER ACTIONS

The Court now considers submissions by certain Plaintiffs'

counsel, styled as "conditional objection[s]." ECF Nos. 3874, 

3880, 3896 (responding to, respectively, ECF Nos. 3875, 3884, 

3895). These submissions do not appear to be objections to the 

proposed preliminary approval of the settlements submitted by 

counsel for the indirect purchaser class, but are simply 

anticipated objections to the allocations of attorney fees among 

plaintiffs’ counsel. The objections are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE 

at this time. The issue of attorney fees will be taken up at or 

after the time the Court considers final approval of the indirect 

purchaser class settlements.

Indirect purchaser class counsel are DIRECTED to amend the 

class notice and proposed order preliminarily approving the

For the Northern District of California

indirect purchaser class settlement to make clear that the total 

attorney fee request in this litigation for all plaintiffs’ counsel 

shall not exceed one-third of the combined settlement fund of 

$576,750,000.

The motion for preliminary approval of class action is 

appropriate for decision without oral argument per Civil Local Rule 

7-1(b). The hearing for the preliminary approval of class action 

is therefore VACATED.
