On June 15, 2017, the Court heard Plaintiff’s Motion for Final Approval of Class Action

15

Settlement (ECF 130) and Motion for Award of Attorneys’ Fees and Costs (ECF 129). The Court

16

granted both motions on the record and indicated that it would issue a short order memorializing

17

its rulings so that Plaintiff immediately may begin administrative tasks necessary to distribution of

18

the settlement fund. A lengthier order setting forth the Court’s reasoning will follow.
