MDL No. 2497 

ORDER REQUESTING ADDITIONAL 

INFORMATION IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO 

APPROVE MINOR’S COMPROMISE

Re: MDL Dkt. No. 618 

Currently pending before the Court is an unopposed motion for approval of minor’s 

compromise filed by plaintiffs Jinhua Yang and Jingtao Xie on behalf of minor J.X. (MDL Dkt. 

No. 618.) The Court requires additional information and explanation before it can determine the 

fairness of the proposed settlement and rule on the pending motion. In particular, the moving 

parties must address the basis for their assertion that the “agreement is similar to the settled claims 

of many other plaintiffs or claimants who either received no injuries or very minor injuries in the 

subject crash.” (Dkt. No. 617-4 at 2:15-16.) 

 Plaintiffs Jinhua Yang and Jingtao Xie shall file a supplemental brief addressing this issue 

no later than May 20, 2016. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Date: May 6, 2016
