WHEREAS, the settlement administrator has commenced email notice pursuant
to the Court’s October 7 Order; and

3

WHEREAS, the settlement administrator now advises and recommends that, to

4

prevent class notice from being blocked by internet service providers or corporate anti-spam

5

filters, a reduced size of email distribution groups be employed, and that the distribution be

6

spread over a longer timeframe; and

7

WHEREAS, the settlement administrator believes that email notice distribution

8

probably can be completed by Saturday, October 19, 2019, but that it may be necessary for some

9

notices to be distributed on Sunday, October 20, 2019, and Monday, October 21, 2019; and

10

WHEREAS, proposed settlement class members receiving their notices on

11

October 21, 2019, will still have 39 days to object or opt out of the settlement before the

12

November 29, 2019 deadline; and

13

WHEREAS, appellate case law confirms that notice of 30 days or more complies

14

with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 and due process. See e.g., In re Transpacific Passenger

15

Air Transportation Antitrust Litigation, 701 Fed. App’x 554, 555 (9th Cir. 2017) (settlement

16

provided sufficient notice to class members under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 where

17

class members were notified of the opportunity to opt out or object to the settlement no later than

18

35 days before the final fairness hearing); Torrisi v. Tucson Elec. Power Co., 8 F.3d 1370, 1375

19

(9th Cir. 1993) (holding that timing of notice satisfied due process and Federal Rule of Civil

20

Procedure 23 where notice was mailed 31 days before the deadline for written objections and 45

21

days before final approval hearing).

22

The parties stipulate and agree as follows:
