The Court has received and reviewed the parties’ stipulation regarding the proposed class
notice. (Dkt. No. 165.) The Court grants the parties’ stipulation as follows:
1. The time allowed for opting out of the class shall be forty-five (45) days from the date of

14

mailing of the Notice. Counsel for Plaintiff estimate that the notice administrator will be able to

15

mail the Notice to class members by March 15, 2015, but in any event the Notice will provide a

16

specific opt-out deadline that is at least 45 days after the date the Notice is mailed.

17

2. The Notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A the Joint Stipulation except

18

the parties shall add the word statutory to the description of damages in section 5 as indicated in

19

bold below. The notice administrator will format the Notice so that it is as readable as possible and

20

shall fill in the blanks with the appropriate website and contact information.

21

5. What Is the Plaintiff Asking for on Behalf of the Class Members?

22

The Plaintiff is asking the Court to award between $100 and $1,000
in statutory damages to each Class Member for each violation that
is proven, as well as punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs.
The Plaintiff is also asking for an order under California law relating
to how OFAC data should be handled in the future.
