Plaintiffs,
v.

Defendants.

Presently before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Unopposed Motion for Approval of Notice

22

of Class Settlement (“Notice Mot.”). (ECF No. 44.) Class Counsel moves “for an Order

23

approving issuance of the updated Notice . . . to the 7 women who worked in job codes

24

2249, 3246, and 5115, during the class period and who were not included in the original

25

class list.” (Notice Mot. 2.) Of the eighteen women who worked in these newly added job

26

codes, these seven women are the only ones who were not originally given notice of the

27

settlement. (Id.) The updated Notice includes “opportunities to opt out, to object, and to

28

request a supplemental final fairness hearing, consistent with the Court’s Order.” (Id.) The
1
16-cv-01885-JLS-DHB

1

updated notice also permits any of these seven women to email the Class Administrator to

2

indicate that they wish to participate in the class, thereby waiving their opportunity to opt

3

out, object, or request a supplemental final fairness hearing. (See id.) “This will allow the

4

Court, in its discretion, to rule on final approval prior to the conclusion of the 60-day Notice

5

Period if all recipients of this [updated] Notice indicate that they wish to participate in the

6

Settlement.” (Id.)

7

The updated Notice complies with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil

8

Procedure 23 and the Court’s prior Order. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’

9

Notice Motion. Additionally, Plaintiffs may notify the Court if all seven women waive

10

12

their opportunities to opt out, object, or request a supplemental final fairness hearing.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
