IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CRELENCIO CHAVEZ, et al., 

 

 Plaintiffs, 

 

 v. 

LUMBER LIQUIDATORS, INC., 

 Defendant. 

________________________________/ 

No. C 09-4812 CW 

ORDER ON MOTION 

FOR FINAL APPROVAL 

 

This Court's order for preliminary approval required 

Plaintiff to move for entry of Order of Final Approval and 

judgment "as outlined in Paragraphs 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 of the 

Settlement" at least fourteen calendar days prior to the opt out 

deadline. Docket No. 175 ¶ 9. Paragraph 7.3.1 of the Settlement 

requires moving the Court for an order "approving Class Counsel's 

application for an award of attorneys' fees and costs." The Ninth 

Circuit requires the Court to ensure that the class has "an 

adequate opportunity to review and prepare objections to class 

counsel's completed fee motion." In re Mercury Interactive Corp. 

Sec. Litig., 618 F.3d 988, 994-95 (9th Cir. 2010); see also In re 

Online DVD-Rental Antitrust Litig., 779 F.3d 934, 954 (9th Cir. 

2015) (holding that a fee motion filing deadline fifteen days 

before the deadline for filing an objection satisfies this 

requirement). Plaintiffs did not file timely their motion for 

attorneys' fees and costs. 

Plaintiffs must submit an amended motion for final approval 

that contains each element of the motion as outlined in Paragraph

7.3.1, including its completed attorneys' fees motion, by Tuesday,
