UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JUSTINE TAVARES, on behalf of herself 

and similarly situated class members, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

GOLDSMITH & HULL A.P.C., et al., 

Defendant. 

 Case No.: 19cv1630-MMA-LL 

ORDER RE: NOTICE OF 

SETTLEMENT 

In a notice of settlement dated January 10, 2020, Plaintiff informed the Court that a 

settlement has been reached. ECF No. 13 at 2. Specifically, Plaintiff states the case “has 

been settled in its entirety” and Plaintiff “anticipates filing a Request for Dismissal . . . 

within sixty days.” Id. 

The Court notes that this case was filed as a putative class action lawsuit. See ECF 

No. 1. However, from Plaintiff’s Notice of Settlement, the Court is unclear as to whether: 

(1) the Parties have reached a settlement on Plaintiff’s individual claims and will submit a 

joint motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s individual claims with prejudice and the putative class 

claims without prejudice; or (2) whether the Parties are seeking to file a motion for 

preliminary approval of a class action settlement. For these reasons, the Parties are 

directed to file an Amended Notice of Settlement by January 21, 2020 that clarifies the
