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 February 10, 2016, the parties filed their Joint 

Stipulation of Class Action Settlement. The release portion of 

the Class Notice states, "These claims are only released to the 

extent that they relate to (a)-(d) listed above." Docket No. 172 

at 40. This sentence does not appear in the "Released Claims" 

definition in the Proposed Settlement. Further, the Proposed 

Settlement releases "any and all claims arising under any 

applicable California Industrial Welfare Commission Wage 

Order(s)," ¶ 2.23, which the Class Notice does not disclose. 

The Court assumes these inconsistencies are inadvertent. 

Within one week of the filing of this order, the parties shall 

make consistent the Class Notice and the Proposed Settlement or 

explain their position. 

Further, the timeline for class counsel to file its 

attorneys' fees motion does not permit objectors enough time to 

review the motion. Irrespective of the Proposed Settlement, the
