Plaintiff submits the declarations of Class Counsel and the Settlement Administrator

The Court granted final approval of the parties’ settlement agreement on January 19,

6 members. On August 31, 2011, the Court entered the above Order, which provides that:

If more than $10,000 remains in residue upon completion of this
supplemental distribution, Plaintiff and Rust Consulting shall file
declarations apprising the Court of the current state of the Settlement Fund.
If less than $10,000 remains, this residue shall be distributed in equal
shares to the National Consumer Law Center and Healthcare and Elder
Law Programs Corporation as cy pres beneficiaries.
As set forth in the Declarations of Class Counsel Nance F. Becker and Settlement
12 Administrator Kimberly Ness filed herewith, following the second distribution approved by
13 the Court, there is a balance of $ 32,555.44 in the Settlement Fund. Plaintiff, accordingly,
14 renews her request that, based on their demonstrated commitment to advocating for the rights
15 of senior citizen consumers, including but not limited to protection against financial abuses,
16 NCLC and H.E.L.P. again be approved as the recipients of the cy pres funds in this matter,
17 and the Court authorize the distribution of the funds to those organizations in equal shares
18 forthwith.
