UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VAMSI TADEPALLI,

Plaintiff,

v.

UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-04348-MEJ 

REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION RE: 

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR

PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF CLASS 

ACTION SETTLEMENT

Re: Dkt. No. 12

Through an unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval of Settlement, the parties in this 

case seek an order (1) preliminarily approving the proposed settlement of this class action on the 

terms set forth in the parties’ proposed Stipulation of Settlement and Release; (2) approving their 

proposed notice of settlement; (3) certifying a settlement class; and (4) scheduling a final 

settlement hearing. Dkt. No. 12. Having reviewed the Motion and Settlement Agreement, the 

Court finds a hearing unnecessary and VACATES the January 14, 2016 hearing. See Fed. R. Civ. 

P. 78(b); Civ. L.R. 7-1(b). Prior to issuing an order, the Court requests the parties provide 

information on why National Consumer Law Center and the East Bay Community Law Center 

meet the requirements for approval of cy pres recipients set forth in Dennis v. Kellogg Company, 

697 F.3d 858, 865 (9th Cir. 2012) (holding that there must be “a driving nexus between the 

plaintiff class and the cy pres beneficiaries” and that the cy pres award must be “guided by (1) the 

objectives of the underlying statute(s) and (2) the interests of the silent class members, . . ., and 

must not benefit a group too remote from the plaintiff class”).

The parties shall respond to this request as soon as possible, but no later than December 

16, 2015. No chambers copy is required.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 11, 2015
