January 6, 2017 Filing 349 STATUS Report Class Counsel And Southwest Airlines Co. Joint Update On Notice by Adam J Levitt, Herbert C. Malone (Siprut, Joseph)
December 22, 2016 Filing 348 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The process for further notice to the class as set forth in the joint status report filed on 12/21/2016 (dkt. no. 347) conforms to the Court's order of 12/11/2016 (dkt. no. 345). The Court therefore finds that the notice process set forth in the status report is adequate, approves it, and directs the parties to commence the process as soon as is practicable. The status report also raises two additional issues, which the Court adjudicates as follows. 1) The Court's intention was and is for notice to go to the entire original class, not the smaller subsets identified in the status report. 2) The settlement agreement's provision stating that "All costs for Notice under this Settlement Agreement shall be paid by Southwest" requires Southwest to pay the cost of this additional notice, which is, in fact, notice "under [the] Settlement Agreement." This is not an additional cost not "expressly provided for" within the meaning of section III.D of the settlement agreement. The Court again states, as it did in its 12/11/2016 order, it will take this cost into account when determining class counsel's supplemental fee petition. (mk)

September 11, 2014 Filing 263 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: It has come to the Court's attention that in duplicating its 9/10/2014 order to the docket, certain punctuation was omitted. The order is modified to read as follows: Defendant Southwest Airlines has moved to correct or modify the record on appeal to include an affidavit of the claims administrator to the effect that one of the appellants did not submit a claim as part of the class settlement. Appellants oppose the motion on various grounds. Their objection contains a good deal of unwarranted invective (in particular, the attribution to defense counsel of a purpose to "run up counsel's expenses"), but the primary objection is that the affidavit was not before this Court while the case was pending here and thus is not properly part of the appellate record. Appellants are correct that the affidavit was not part of the record in this Court in the first instance and thus was not considered. But because it is submitted to support an argument regarding whether there is currently a justiciable casea matter for the Court of Appeals to decide, not this Courtthe Court believes the appropriate course is to permit modification of the record and leave it to the Court of Appeals to determine whether and how to consider the new material. The Court therefore grants the motion to correct or modify the record; vacates the hearing date of September 11, 2014, and directs the Clerk to transmit a copy of this order to the Court of Appeals. The Clerk is directed to transmit a copy of this order to the Court of Appeals. (pjg, )

April 16, 2013 Filing 114 MINUTE entry before Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Plaintiffs' motion to clarify #111 is granted, but only in part. The time for the parties to file their separate responses to any objections and comments regarding the proposed settlement is extended to 5/7/13 but will not be extended again. The Court acknowledges that the parties may have believed that they would not need to respond to objections and comments until 5/14/13, but no such provision appears in the Court's preliminary approval order, and the simple fact is that filing of responses only one week before the fairness hearing date of 5/21/13 will not give the Court sufficient time to consider objections and responses to objections. The Court also notes that plaintiffs state in their motion to clarify that they intend to serve discovery requests upon objectors to the settlement and contend that this is authorized by paragraph 20 of the preliminary approval order. That is an overstatement. The order says that "[t]he Court, within its discretion and at the request of Class Counsel or Defendant's Counsel, may order the deposition prior to the Fairness Hearing of any Settlement Class Member who has not filed a timely written request for exclusion and objects to the fairness, reasonableness or adequacy of the Settlement Agreement or the proposed Settlement (orany witness identified in the written objection)." See dkt. no. 89 ¶ 20 (emphasis added). That provision does not give plaintiffs or defendants the absolute right to serve discovery requests but rather leaves it to the Court to determine whether to allow such requests. So that there is no confusion in this regard, the Court now clarifies that before any discovery request (including a notice of deposition) is served upon an objector or commenter regarding the settlement, a motion requesting leave is to be filed and noticed for presentment before the Court, including notice to the proposed recipient of the discovery request.
