Filing 2856 MOTION for Leave to File Statement of Interest as Amicus Curiae by U.S. Department of Labor. (Attachments: #1 Statement of Interest by Amicus Curiae Secretary of Labor)(Cheverud, Eirik) |
Filing 2855 TEXT ORDER The court previously required counsel for the two classes in this case to publicly disclose any retention agreements they have with class representatives. Recent amendments to Rule 23(e)(5) direct the court to evaluate the motives or potential motives of objectors. Although the court has no reason to believe that any particular attorney for an objector has any improper motive, the best practice is to require appropriate disclosures of retention agreements between outside counsel for objectors and their clients. See Advisory Committee Notes to 2018 Amendments to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(e)(5). However, the Objectors counsels retention agreements should not be made publicly available. Instead, those agreements should be made available to proponents of the settlement. For these reasons, outside counsel for Objectors SHALL disclose to the Special Master any retention agreement related to this action that exists between counsel and counsels clients. The Special Master SHALL in turn provide those retention agreements to Subscriber class counsel, ASO class counsel, and Blue Cross Blue Shield counsel. Signed by Judge R David Proctor on 10/19/2021.

Also, because the parties must now meet and confer regarding filing documents under seal, the court contemplates that a response should be possible within the time frame designated for seeking to maintain documents under seal: three days.
