Now before the Court is the motion for preliminary approval of class action settlement.
16
The Court has considered the parties papers, including the supplemental briefs ordered by the
17
Court, Dr. Borger’s supplemental opposition, and the parties’ supplemental responses to Dr.
18
Borger’s opposition. The Court finds the motion suitable for disposition without oral argument,
19
and it VACATES the hearing scheduled for August 23, 2013.
20
At this stage of the proceedings, the parties’ revisions to the settlement and the revisions
21
to the proposed notice program satisfy the concerns raised in the Court’s Order requiring
22
supplemental briefing. Accordingly, the will grant the motion for preliminary approval. The
23
parties shall e-file a revised proposed Order granting the motion and which sets forth the
24
requisite deadlines for distributing notice and filing exclusions and objections, and a final
25
fairness hearing by August 26, 2013.
