ORDER RE MODIFICATION
AND EXPIRATION OF
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

v.

No. C 06-06346 WHA

Defendant.
/

18
19

On August 28, defendant’s counsel submitted a letter (Dkt. No. 125) regarding the

20

September 18 expiration date for defendant’s remaining obligations of the settlement agreement.

21

Specifically, section VIII.B of the settlement agreement requires, among other conditions,

22

defendant’s implementation of the Laguna Honda Hospital Rent Subsidy Program for

23

approximately 500 residents during the 5 year duration of the settlement agreement. To date,

24

defendant has implemented and administered the rental subsidy program for approximately 270

25

individuals, due to actual demand for such housing being substantially less than the parties

26

anticipated when negotiating the settlement agreement.

27
28

Defendant requests recognition of its fulfillment of obligations under Section VIII.B of
the settlement agreement, or alternatively, a modification of Section VIII.B’s target numbers
based on good cause in the form of less-than-anticipated demand for the rental subsidy program.

1

Lead plaintiff’s counsel has met and conferred with defendant’s counsel on this issue, and does

2

not oppose defendant’s requests. The order thus approves of the modification of Section

3

VIII.B’s target numbers based on good cause shown, and both the settlement agreement and this

4

Court’s jurisdiction will expire on SEPTEMBER 18.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
