WHEREAS, Plaintiffs Clarke and Rebecca Wixon, Norman and Barbara Wixon, and Kandice
2
Scattolon (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and Defendant Wyndham Resort Development Corp.
3
(“Wyndham”) (collectively, the “Parties”) have reached a proposed settlement of the above-captioned
4
class action, which the Court preliminarily approved on December 3, 2010 (Dkt. No. 668);
5
WHEREAS, Class Counsel has caused written notice of the settlement in the form approved by
6
the Court (the “Class Notice”) to be mailed to all members of the Class in accordance with the Court’s
7
April 19, 2011 order (Dkt. No. 683);
8
9
WHEREAS, the Class Notice and the Court’s April 19, 2011 order provided that Class members
were permitted to opt-out of the settlement by mailing a written opt-out letter to Class Counsel;
10
WHEREAS, counsel for the Parties have become aware that, despite the procedure set forth in
11
the Class Notice, a small group of Class members advised other Class members to mail copies of their
12
opt-out letters to the Court in addition to Class Counsel. As a result, Class members have mailed opt-
13
out letters to the Court in addition to Class Counsel, which has resulted in a significant and unnecessary
14
administrative burden on the Court and its clerical staff related to the scanning and posting of such opt-
15
out notices on the Court’s ECF/CM system;
16
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the undersigned parties, by and
17
through their respective counsel, and subject to approval of the Court, that, in accordance with General
18
Order 45, § VII, any opt-out letters that have been lodged with or submitted to the Court need not be
19
scanned and posted on the Court’s ECF/CM system.
20
IT FURTHER IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, subject to approval of the Court,
21
that on or before July 22, 2011, Class Counsel will file with the Court a report identifying all Class
22
members who have requested exclusion from, or opted-out of, the proposed settlement in accordance
23
with the procedures set forth in the Class Notice and the Court’s April 19, 2011 order.
