she provided the petition to Defendants’ counsel, who have reviewed the petition, and have 

indicated to her that they do not oppose the petition. (ECF No. 94-2 at 4.) However, there is 

nothing in the record from Defendants indicating Defendants’ non-opposition. Therefore, if 

Defendants do not oppose Plaintiffs’ petition for approval of minors’ settlement, Defendants 

shall file a statement of non-opposition no later than June 8, 2016. However, if Defendants do 

oppose Plaintiffs’ petition for approval of minors’ settlement, then they shall submit a statement

no later than June 8, 2016, indicating that they intend to file an opposition and how long they 

need to file an opposition. The parties are advised that if Defendants file a statement of nonopposition, the Court will take this matter under submission without a hearing and decide the

matter forwith. 

Accordingly, Defendants are HEREBY DIRECTED to file a statement of non-opposition 

to Plaintiffs’ petition for approval of minors’ settlement or a statement indicating that they intend 

to file an opposition and how long they need to file an opposition no later than June 8, 2016. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
