Case No.: 16-cv-01885-JLS-DHB

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR 

APPROVAL OF NOTICE

(ECF No. 44)

Presently before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Unopposed Motion for Approval of Notice 

of Class Settlement (“Notice Mot.”). (ECF No. 44.) Class Counsel moves “for an Order 

approving issuance of the updated Notice . . . to the 7 women who worked in job codes 

2249, 3246, and 5115, during the class period and who were not included in the original 

class list.” (Notice Mot. 2.) Of the eighteen women who worked in these newly added job 

codes, these seven women are the only ones who were not originally given notice of the 

settlement. (Id.) The updated Notice includes “opportunities to opt out, to object, and to 

request a supplemental final fairness hearing, consistent with the Court’s Order.” (Id.) The

updated notice also permits any of these seven women to email the Class Administrator to 

indicate that they wish to participate in the class, thereby waiving their opportunity to opt 

out, object, or request a supplemental final fairness hearing. (See id.) “This will allow the 

Court, in its discretion, to rule on final approval prior to the conclusion of the 60-day Notice 

Period if all recipients of this [updated] Notice indicate that they wish to participate in the 

Settlement.” (Id.)

The updated Notice complies with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 23 and the Court’s prior Order. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’

Notice Motion. Additionally, Plaintiffs may notify the Court if all seven women waive 

their opportunities to opt out, object, or request a supplemental final fairness hearing.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
