JOINT MOTION FOR ENTRY OF AMENDED JUDGMENT

The Parties and objectors jointly request that the Court enter the attached amended 

judgment, and in support state as follow:

1. This is a Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. §227 case that settled on 

a class basis. The Court issued a dismissal order and judgment on November 4, 2019. Dkt. 730.

Three objectors appealed, and then settled to finally resolve the action and appeals. Dkt. 739-2. 

The Court issued an indicative ruling confirming that it would approve the Settlement as amended 

upon remand from the Seventh Circuit on February 27, 2020. Dkt. 744. In its ruling, the Court 

noted that the two limited changes to the settlement would benefit or not impact class members, 

and accordingly, “if the case is remanded, the Court will not require a new round of class notice 

or conduct another fairness hearing prior to issuing a ruling approving the amended settlement.” 

Id. 

2. The Court further held: “[t]he Court finds that the proposed amendments do not 

impact its prior reasoning approving the settlement as fair. Additionally, a speedier settlement and 

payout is in all class members’ interests. Therefore, the Court would approve the proposed 

amended settlement upon remand.” Id.

3. On Mach 20, 2020, the Seventh Circuit remanded the case for approval of the 
2

settlement and entry of judgment. Exhibit A. 

4. In light of the remand and the Court’s prior ruling indicating that a speedier 

settlement payout is in class members interest and that it would approve the amended settlement, 

this matter is now ready to be finally resolved through an amended judgment.

WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully request that the Court enter the proposed Amended 

Final Order of Dismissal and Final Judgment attached hereto as Exhibit B.
