MINUTE ORDER: As the Court explained in its Minute Order of August 29, 2011, the only issue related to attorneys' fees that will be discussed at tomorrow's hearing is whether the proposed range of possible fees is fair and reasonable to class members. The matters raised by John Boyd in his motion for leave to speak at the hearing are not relevant to that issue. As a result, Mr. Boyd's motion for leave to appear and speak at the fairness hearing #194 is DENIED. Signed by Judge Paul L. Friedman on August 31, 2011. (lcplf2)

SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM to re #181 MOTION to Intervene filed by GREGORY K. CHESTNUT. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit Exhibit A, #2 Exhibit Exhibit B, #3 Exhibit Exhibit C)(Gaiser, Ronald)
|

MINUTE ORDER: The Court wishes to clarify that the only issue that will be discussed at the upcoming hearing on September 1, 2011, is whether the terms of the proposed settlement agreement are fair, reasonable, and adequate for class members. That means, with respect to attorneys' fees, that the Court will hear argument only on whether the range of fees proposed in the agreement -- between 4.1% and 7.4% of a fixed dollar amount, as described in the agreement -- is fair and reasonable to class members. The Court will not hear argument on which amount of fees within that range is most appropriate, nor will it hear argument on how those fees might be divided among various attorneys or other individuals that are or have been involved in this litigation. For that reason, neither Gregory K. Chestnut nor his attorney will be permitted to raise Mr. Chestnut's concerns over the division of attorneys' fees at the hearing. Signed by Judge Paul L. Friedman on August 29, 2011. Associated Cases: 1:08-mc-00511-PLF, 1:08-cv-01513-PLF, 1:08-cv-02220-PLF, 1:09-cv-01019-PLF, 1:09-cv-01323-PLF, 1:09-cv-01422-PLF, 1:10-cv-00737-PLF, 1:10-cv-00801-PLF, 1:10-cv-01026-PLF, 1:10-cv-01053-PLF (lcplf2)
