IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DIVISION

JONATHAN STANLEY, et al.,
Case No. 2:16-cv-386
Plaintiffs,
v.

Judge Graham

TURNER OIL & GAS PROPERTIES,
INC.,

Magistrate Judge Deavers

Defendant.
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Deavers’s Report and Recommendation. (Doc. 132). The R&R recommends granting two motions: (1) Plaintiffs’ Motion for Attorney Fees, (Doc. 121); (2) the parties’ Joint Motion for Approval of Class Action Settlement,
(Doc. 127). But the R&R conditioned this recommendation on Plaintiffs’ counsel submitting additional information identified in the R&R.
Counsel has provided the additional information requested in the R&R, including a calculation breakdown showing how counsel determined the proportionate reduction to the settlement
fund, a total list of anticipated payouts to the class members, and a clarification of the amount of
the cy pres fund and the name of the recipient charities. (See Doc. 133). No objections to the
R&R were filed.
The Court finds that the R&R is thorough, well-reasoned, and the Court agrees with its
conclusions in full. Accordingly, the Court hereby ADOPTS the R&R. (Doc. 132). The pending
motions are GRANTED, (Docs. 121, 127), as more fully described in the R&R.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
