FINAL JUDGMENT AND ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR FINAL APPROVAL OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED, THAT: This Order incorporates by reference the definitions in the parties' Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement") dated February 5, 2016. This Court approves the settlement and all terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement and finds that the settlement is, in all respects, fair, reasonable, adequate, and not a product of collusion. The Court finds reasonable the service awards for the Named Plaintiffs in the amounts of $10,000 to Ahmed Chhab, $10,000 to Kathryn Shrader, $10,000 to Lance Feldhun, $8,000 to Michael Rella, $5,000 to Vincent Anthony Boreland, and $7,000 to Adrianne Benzion inrecognition of the services they rendered on behalf of the Class. The amounts shall be paid from the settlement fund. The Court grants Class Counsel's request for $25,000 to Ahmed Chhab as a settlement payment for retaliation claims alleged against Defendants as described in the Settlement Agreement. The Court grants Class Counsel's request for $687,869.36 and reimbursement of $61,791.43 in costs and expenses reasonably expended litigating and resolving the lawsuit. The fee award is justified by the work that Class Counsel did negotiating the settlement and conducting the litigation, the ultimate recovery, and the risk that Class Counsel undertook in bringing the claims.If no party seeks reconsideration or rehearing of this Order, the "Effective Date" of the settlement will be 30 days after the Order is entered.The Court will retain jurisdiction over the interpretation and implementation of the Settlement Agreement. The parties shall abide by all terms of the Settlement Agreement. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald on 12/15/2016) (ama)
