ORDER REGARDING FINALITY OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT Re: Dkt. No. 21 HILLYARD, INC., Defendant. 18 19 Before the Court is plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of the class settlement. 20 The Court is concerned that plaintiffs may have submitted a non-final or fully executed 21 version of the settlement agreement. The settlement agreement references “section III.8.2” 22 as including additional releases for the general class, but that section is not included in the 23 settlement agreement. Dkt. No. 21-3 at 17. In addition, section I.i of the document has 24 been left blank. Id. at 19. The Court cannot assess the fairness of apparently agreed-upon 25 provisions that are not included in the document. Therefore, within seven days of this 26 order, plaintiffs must either submit the final and fully executed version of the settlement, or 27 inform the Court that the version submitted is final. 28 Case No. 13-cv-04389 NC ORDER REGARDING FINALITY OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT 1 IT IS SO ORDERED. 2 Date: July 9, 2014 3 _________________________ Nathanael M.
