ORDER
VALERIE CAPRONI, United States District Judge:
WHEREAS Plaintiffs have filed an amended, unopposed motion for preliminary
approval of the parties’ class action settlement, preliminary certification of a settlement class,
and approval of their proposed notice plan, Dkt. 134;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the parties are directed to appear for a teleconference
on August 13, 2020, at 11:00 A.M., to discuss the Court’s remaining concerns about the notice
plan. Plaintiffs should be prepared to discuss the following issues:
1. Whether either the proposed short form or long form notice informs class members of
their likely recovery from the settlement, including the difference in value between
choosing a voucher and choosing cash, and the possibility of submitting a claim even if
the class member no longer has proof of purchase, and if not, why not;
2. Whether either of the proposed notices or the proof of claim informs class members that
cash will be distributed on a first come, first served basis and that claimants will receive a
voucher if the cash fund is depleted, and if not, why not; and
3. Why USA Today was chosen as the national newspaper in which to print the publication
notice.
All parties and any interested members of the public must attend by dialing 1-888-363-4749,
using the access code 3121171 and the security code 1122. All attendees are advised to mute
their phones when not speaking and to self-identify each time they speak.
SO ORDERED.
Date: August 10, 2020
New York, NY
