WHEREAS, the Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims shifted the duty to

WHEREAS, Plaintiff inadvertently failed to provide such CAFA Notice; 

WHEREAS, an “order giving final approval of a proposed settlement may not be issued

appropriate State official are served with the notice.” 28 U.S.C. § 1715(d). 

THEREFORE, the parties stipulate and request that the Court order as follows: 

1. The parties request that the Court order that the Judgment in this action is 

withdrawn pending compliance with CAFA Notice requirements as set forth below. 

2. Plaintiff will serve the requisite CAFA Notice on the appropriate Federal and/or 

State officials by December 18, 2015. 

3. If no objection or opposition to the settlement is received from such Federal 

and/or State officials by March 17, 2016, then the Judgment will be deemed entered on that 

date. 

4. If such an objection or opposition to the settlement is received, then the Court 

shall set a hearing and briefing schedule to address and resolve them. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED
