Presently pending before the court is plaintiffs’ unopposed motion for conditional

18

certification of classes and preliminary approval of stipulated class action settlement and consent

19

decree. (ECF No. 28.) A hearing on this motion is set for August 10, 2017, so that the court may

20

perform a preliminary fairness evaluation under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(e). (Id.)
On June 7, 2017, the undersigned conducted a day-long settlement conference with the

21
22

parties, who reached the tentative agreement memorialized in plaintiff’s motion. (ECF No. 25.)

23

After the parties consented, this case was reassigned to the undersigned on July 5, 2017. (See

ECF Nos. 19, 26, 27.) Due to the undersigned’s involvement in the settlement conference and

25
