Order
FINAL APPROVAL ORDER AND JUDGMENT: Upon consideration of Plaintiffs motion for final approval of the Amended Class Action Settlement Agreement dated August 22, 2023 (herein the "Settlement Agreement") in the above matter, the Court hereby orders and adjudges as follows: For purposes of this Final Approval Order and Judgment, except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as are ascribed to them in the Settlement Agreement. The C ourt has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action and personal jurisdiction over all parties to the action, including all members of the settlement Class. The Court confirms that the class previously certified under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)( 1) is appropriate, defined as follows: As further set forth in this order. If the Settlement Agreement had not been achieved, both Plaintiff and Defendants faced the expense, risk, and uncertainty of extended litigation; The amount of the settleme nt: $30,000,000 is fair, reasonable, and adequate. The settlement amount is within the range of reasonable settlements that would have been appropriate in this case; As further set forth in this order. The Motion for Final Approval of the Set tlement Agreement is hereby GRANTED, the Settlement of the Class Action, including but not limited to the waiver and release of the Released Claims and all other terms are APPROVED as fair, reasonable, and adequate to the Plan and the Class, and Plai ntiff and Defendants are hereby directed to take the necessary steps to effectuate the terms of the Settlement Agreement. As further set forth in this order. The Court finds that the attorney's fees sought by Class Counsel in the amount of one- third (1/3) of the common fund established in this Action and the costs and expenses sought by Class Counsel from the common fund are reasonable in light of the successful results achieved by Class Counsel, the monetary benefits obtained in this Ac tion, the substantial risks associated with the Action, Class Counsel's skill and experience in class action litigation of this type, and the fee awards in comparable cases. Accordingly, Class Counsel are awarded attorneys' fees in the am ount of one-third (1/3) of the common fund established in this Action, specifically $10,000,000.00, and costs and expenses of litigation in the amount of $550,361.80. Plaintiff is hereby awarded a case contribution award in the amount of $30,000. Class Counsel's attorney's fees and expenses and Plaintiffs incentive or case contribution award shall be paid pursuant to the timing requirements described in the Settlement Agreement. The Plan of Allocation for the Settl ement Fund is approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate. Any modification or change in the Plan of Allocation that may hereafter be approved shall in no way disturb or affect this Judgment and shall be considered separate from this Judgment.24. Upo n the effective date of this Order the Settling Parties, the Class Members, and the Plan shall be bound by the Settlement Agreement as amended and by this Final Approval Order. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul G. Gardephe on 11/21/2023) (ks) Transmission to Finance Unit (Cashiers) for processing.
