Case No. 09-cv-02079-JCS 

ORDER VACATING HEARING ON 

MOTION FOR INSTRUCTIONS AND 

MODIFICATION OF SETTLEMENT 

AGREEMENT 

Re: Dkt. No. 629 

In 2012, the Court approved a final settlement in this class action. Since that time, 

according to class counsel, over $120 million have been collected and distributed pursuant to the 

settlement agreement. Presently before the Court is a motion seeking: 1) instructions regarding 

the distribution of settlement funds as to certain claimants (Sam L. Braswell, Steven Schoenfeld 

and Sandra Stroud, hereinafter “Claimants”) who apparently assigned their claims in a related 

bankruptcy proceeding to ASM Capital; and 2) modification of the “Boulder Settlement” to reduce 

the obligation of Roy MacDowell from $300,000 to $60,000. See Docket No. 629 (“Motion”). 

The Motion was noticed for hearing on February 12, 2016. 

On February 4, 2016, ASM Capital filed a brief in which it asserts that the claims of the 

Claimants listed above were assigned to ASM Capital and therefore, that payment of their share of 

the settlement funds should be made directly to ASM Capital. The Claimants have not had an 

opportunity to respond to ASM Capital’s brief. Accordingly, the Court vacates the February 12, 

2016 hearing and sets the following schedule: Plaintiff’s counsel shall serve on each of the 

Claimants a copy of the Motion (Docket No. 629), the brief filed by ASM Capital (Docket No. 

637) and this Order, no later than February 19, 2016. Any Claimants who wishes to object to the 

payment of their settlement funds to ASM Capital under the assignments entered with ASM
