UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

GARY NYSTROM, on behalf of

himself and on behalf of all 

others similarly situated, NO. 2:04-cv–0330-MCE-EFB

Plaintiffs,

v. ORDER

CITY OF VACAVILLE and

DALE PFEIFFER, Director

of the Department of Public 

Works of the City of Vacaville,

or his successor, in his 

Official Capacity,

Defendants.

----oo0oo----

By Order filed August 10, 2006, this Court preliminarily

determined that the Settlement Agreement between Plaintiff Gary

Nystrom, as representative of the settlement class, and Defendant

City of Vacaville was fundamentally fair, adequate, reasonable,

and within the range of possible approval. The Court set a

Fairness Hearing for November 13, 2006 and ordered any member of

the settlement class, who objected to the terms of the

settlement, to file written objections not later than sixty (60)

days following the date of the August 10, 2006 Order, or by

October 10, 2006.

Plaintiff’s counsel has now produced evidence that the

appropriate notice, as specified in the parties’ Settlement

Agreement, has been provided to class members. Despite being

directed in the notice provided to register any written

objections to the Settlement Agreement by October 10, 2006, and

to communicate in writing any intent to appear at the Fairness

Hearing not later than October 10, 2006, counsel for Plaintiff

has represented that as of November 6, 2006, no objections to the

settlement, or any written request to appear at the November 13,

2006 Fairness Hearing, has been made. (Decl. of Kevin Knestrick,

¶ 5)

Given the lack of any objections to the Settlement Agreement

and the fact that no class member has demanded to be heard at the

time of the scheduled November 13, 2006 Fairness Hearing, said

hearing is hereby vacated and adjourned. Counsel for Plaintiff

is directed to provide a final draft order for the Court’s

signature after obtaining approval as to the form of same from

counsel for the City of Vacaville.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: November 13, 2006
