Re: MDL Dkt. No. 618

Currently pending before the Court is an unopposed motion for approval of minor’s

17

compromise filed by plaintiffs Jinhua Yang and Jingtao Xie on behalf of minor J.X. (MDL Dkt.

18

No. 618.) The Court requires additional information and explanation before it can determine the

19

fairness of the proposed settlement and rule on the pending motion. In particular, the moving

20

parties must address the basis for their assertion that the “agreement is similar to the settled claims

21

of many other plaintiffs or claimants who either received no injuries or very minor injuries in the

22

subject crash.” (Dkt. No. 617-4 at 2:15-16.)
