MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) 

ORDER RE: ATTORNEYS’ FEE 

APPLICATIONS AND MOTIONS FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME 

 On November 22, 2016, the Court issued an order requiring that any settlement proceeds 

relating to the 2.0-liter engine vehicles be paid directly to Class Members notwithstanding any 

attorneys’ liens. The November 22 Order further directed any attorney seeking to recover fees in 

accordance with a lien to file a separate fee application for each Class Member represented by 

November 29, 2016. (Dkt. No. 2247.) On December 5, 2016, the Court clarified that the 

November 22 Order covers any payment to attorneys out of Class Members’ settlement proceeds, 

whether through attorneys’ liens, assignments, agreements for funds to be paid first into an 

attorney trust account, or any other functional equivalent whereby Class Members’ recovery under 

the Settlement is reduced through private attorneys’ fees. (Dkt. No. 2428.) 

 Since the original November 29 deadline for attorneys’ fee applications, the Court has 

received various motions for extension of time to respond to the Court’s orders as well as motions 

for fees and costs. The Court finds good cause for an extension and ORDERS as follows: 

(1) All motions for extension of time filed before the issuance of this order are 

GRANTED. Counsel having moved for such extensions of time shall file any
