The parties, through their respective counsel, stipulate to request an order to file under 

seal a list with the identifying information associated with class members eligible for settlement 

checks as required by this Court. 

WHEREAS, in the Order Granting Final Approval of Class Action Settlement Agreement 

and Awarding Attorney’s Fees and Expenses, the Court ordered that: “Counsel shall file on the 

public docket a final list of the names of the class members bound by the settlement, and shall 

file under seal a list of their names and identifying information. The list shall indicate which 

checks remained uncashed or were returned.” Dkt. No. 226, at 5. 

WHEREAS the Class Administrator Kurtzman Carson Consultants (KCC), under 

supervision of Class Counsel, compiled a class checks list reflecting the names and identifying 

information of class members eligible for settlement checks, and whether the class member had 

cashed the settlement check (Class Checks List). The Class Checks List contains a Claim ID 

number that KCC used for each authorized settlement check, the class member’s name, and the 

amount of the settlement check. The Army and Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange or 

AAFES) also provided KCC with a list of settlement checks it subsequently issued to unpaid 

class members that cleared, and KCC incorporated AAFES’ cashed check data into the list. In 

the “Status” column, “C” means the check was cashed and “U” means it was not cashed or was 

not issued because no valid address could be found for the class member. The “SS#” column 

contains the class member’s social security number. 

WHEREAS, as required by Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(A), attached as Exhibit 1 is a 

declaration of Alicia M. Hunt establishing that the identifying information on the Class Checks 

List created by KCC is sealable. 

WHEREAS, as required by Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(C), attached as Exhibit 2 is a redacted 

version of the Class Checks List, which is a list of the names of the class members eligible for 

settlement checks with identifying information redacted. The exhibit is labeled “Redacted 

Version of Document Sought To Be Sealed.” The redacted version of the Class Checks List was 

also filed as Exhibit A to the Final Report.

WHEREAS, as required by Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(D), attached as Exhibit 3 is the 

unredacted version of the document. The identifying information to be sealed is the Social 

Security number information listed in the column marked “SS #”, and the exhibit reflects the 

notation that it is an “Unredacted Version of Document Sought To Be Sealed.” 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
