CASE NO. C18-0112-JCC
ORDER

Plaintiffs,
v.
SARBANAND FARMS, LLC et al.,

14

Defendants.

16

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiffs’ unopposed motion to reset the final

17

settlement hearing (Dkt. No. 167). On December 31, 2019, the Court granted preliminary

18

approval of the class action settlement after reviewing Plaintiffs’ unopposed motion and the

19

parties’ settlement agreement. (See Dkt. No. 163.) No class member objected to the settlement by

20

the March 31, 2020 deadline for filing objections. (Dkt. No. 165 at 3.) The claim rate for class

21

members is 94%. (See Dkt. No. 168 at 3.) The final approval hearing was originally scheduled

22

for April 21, 2020, but the Court could not conduct an in-person hearing because of the COVID-

23

19 pandemic. See W.D. Wash., General Order 02-20 (Mar. 17, 2020). The Court FINDS that a

24

telephonic hearing is appropriate in this case and that such a hearing will satisfy the requirements

25

of Rule 23(e). Therefore, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ motion to reset the final settlement

26

hearing (Dkt. No. 167) and ORDERS that the Final Approval Hearing shall be set for June 9,
