STIPULATION & [PROPOSED] ORDER 

RE EDIT TO CLASS NOTICE

CASE NO. 13-CV-04960-VC

WHEREAS, on March 13, 2015, the Court granted preliminary approval of the parties’ 

proposed class action settlement, approving, among other things, the Class Notice and 

Confirmation Form;

WHEREAS, the Class Notice explains to class members that the settlement provides for 

$10,000,000 in monetary relief as a common fund, from which attorneys’ fees and costs and class 

representative service payments approved by the Court will be subtracted;

WHEREAS, Source provided the class data to the Settlement Administrator as scheduled 

on April 10, 2015;

WHEREAS, the Class Notice is scheduled to be disseminated to the Class Members on 

April 27, 2015;

WHEREAS, the Confirmation Form that will be sent to Class Members along with the 

Class Notice correctly states that “[i]t is estimated that $6,700,000 will remain for Class Members 

to share after these expenses and costs are taken out,” which is arrived at as follows: 

$10,000,000 common fund 

- $3,000,000 in attorneys’ fees 

 - $75,000 in class representative service payments 

 - $195,000 in out-of-pocket costs 

 - $30,000 in costs of administration 

= $6,700,000; 

WHEREAS, the Class Notice informs Class Members that Class counsel will seek 

reimbursement for “out-of-pocket costs of up to $195,000,” without mentioning costs of 

administration by the Court-appointed Settlement Administrator CPT Group; and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to edit the Class Notice by adding the following text in 

Section 18 to ensure that Class Members are aware of the $30,000 in costs of administration, 

consistent with the $6,700,000 figure listed in the Confirmation Form: “The cost of 

administration of the settlement, estimated to be approximately $30,000, will also come from the 

settlement fund.”
