November 2, 2022 Filing 135 NOTICE by DMG MORI USA, Inc. Regarding Submitted Matter L.R. 7-13 (Hobson, Alexandria) (Filed on 11/2/2022)
April 15, 2022 Filing 134 Supplemental MOTION for Settlement REVISED filed by Steven Arnold. Responses due by 4/29/2022. Replies due by 5/6/2022. (Attachments: #1 Declaration of Desai ISO Revised Mtn for Attorneys' Fees and Costs, #2 Declaration of Andrew P. Lee, #3 Declaration of Scot Bernstein, #4 Declaration of Peter Rukin)(Desai, Aashish) (Filed on 4/15/2022)
March 16, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 133 ORDER. The Court declines to approve the request for attorneys' fees and costs in its current form. Dkt. No. 124-1. When, as here, a negotiated class settlement includes an attorneys' fees amount, the Court has "an independent obligation to ensure that the award, like the settlement itself, is reasonable, even if the parties have already agreed to an amount." In Re Bluetooth Headset Products Liability Litig., 654 F.3d 935, 941 (9th Cir. 2011). The request for $450,000 in fees by counsel for plaintiffs is not adequately supported under the lodestar method presented in the fees motion. Lead counsel claimed a 2021 fees rate of $950 per hour, and a 2021 rate of $550 per hour for an associate. Dkt. No. 124-1 at 5. No declarations or other documentation were provided to demonstrate that these rates are reasonable prevailing rates in this District for similar cases and work. See Camacho v. Bridgeport Fin., Inc., 523 F.3d 973, 979 (9th Cir. 2008). In addition, counsel used the 2021 rates for all billing entries going back to 2018, without saying why that might be reasonable. See Dkt. No. 124-5. The Court is also concerned that the $450,000 in requested fees substantially exceeds the $375,000 earmarked for the class members' recovery, and is vastly more than the typical 25% benchmark used for the percentage-of-recovery fees approach. Bluetooth, 654 F.3d at 942. The Court declines to approve the proposed $5,000 "service award" to the named plaintiff, which exceeds by a factor of 10 the estimated payment of $462 to every other class member. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(e)(2)(D) (class members must be treated equitably relative to each other). A substantially more modest service award may be appropriate. Counsel may file a revised fees motion consistent with this order by April 15, 2022. Consideration of final approval of the class settlement is deferred pending further order. The hearing set for March 17, 2022, is vacated. Signed by Judge James Donato on 3/16/2022. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.)
