firm Viscomi, Gersh, Simpson & Joos, PLLP, move for the approval of JND as
class administrator and Pete Yonge as adjuster, stating as the basis for the motion
that JND and Mr. Yonge are better equipped and more efficient at performing such
duties than class counsel. The motion is further supported by the Affidavit of
Judah Gersh and the exhibits attached thereto. Counsel for the Travelers
Defendants does not oppose the motion, and Mr. McNeil has not appeared.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs motion (Doc. 39) is
GRANTED. As approval of JND and Mr. Yonge appears to be in the interest of
all involved, JND is approved to act as class administrator and Mr. Yonge is
approved to act as adjuster at the rates specified in Mr. Gersh's affidavit.
