IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HERBERT ANTHONY ADDERLEY, on

behalf of himself and all others similarly

situated,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

PLAYERS ASSOCIATION, a Virginia

corporation, and NATIONAL FOOTBALL

LEAGUE PLAYERS INCORPORATED

d/b/a PLAYERS INC., a Virginia

corporation

Defendants. /

No. C 07-00943 WHA

CLASS ACTION

ORDER APPROVING

ADDITIONAL SEARCHES

AND MAILINGS

Given the fact that 202 class members — or roughly ten percent of the class — did not

receive either the first or second round of mailings informing them that they were entitled to

participate in the settlement (and will be foreclosed from receiving any payments once the final

round of disbursements has been approved), the undersigned judge believes that additional efforts

to reach these 202 class members are necessary. This order therefore APPROVES class counsel’s

proposal to use the social security numbers of these 202 class members to search for additional

contact information. If a new address is found, counsel — as they have proposed — shall mail

the class member a claim form at the new address and allow an appropriate amount of time for the

form to be returned.

Counsel shall apprise the Court BY THURSDAY, JULY 29, 2010, of the dates that these

claim forms will be mailed to class members and that responses will be due. To be clear, this

order is limited to those class members where the claim forms were returned as “undeliverable” in

both mailings. Counsel need not perform additional searches for non-responsive class members

where delivery of the forms appeared to be successful.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 21, 2010. WILLIAM ALSUP
