UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIO JAKOSALEM,

Plaintiff,

v.

AIR SERV CORPORATION,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-05944-SI 

ORDER ON ATTORNEY’S FEES, 

COSTS, AND ENHANCEMENT

Re: Dkt. No. 43

Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorney Fees and Reimbursement of Costs and Enhancements came 

before the Court on October 2, 2015. The Court orders the following deductions to the gross 

settlement amount of $2,250,000.00:

a. A $25,000.00 Private Attorney General Act (“PAGA”) allocation, 75% of which 

shall be paid to the Labor and Workforce Development Agency. The remaining 25% shall be 

distributed to Settlement Class Members;

b. $9,429.35 in actual litigation expenses for Class Counsel;

c. $22,000.00 in settlement administration expenses for Simpluris, Inc.;

The Court finds that the settlement amount following these deductions is $2,193,570.65. 

The Court awards Class Counsel 25% of this figure, or $548,392.66. A cross-check 

against Class Counsel’s lodestar of $496,940.41 reveals a 1.10 positive multiplier. The Court 

finds this award reasonable given the results achieved and the contingent nature of the 

representation. The Court orders that this $548,392.66 fee be deducted from the remaining 

settlement amount, leaving $1,645,177.99.

The Court also finds Plaintiff Jakosalem’s $10,000.00 enhancement award reasonable in 

light of the time and effort spent in support of this litigation, and awards him this amount. This

IT IS SO ORDERED.
