The Court ordered that you be sent a Notice. The Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, your legal rights, and what benefits are available to you.

Defendant has agreed to pay a total of $395,000.00. This amount includes $131,666.67 for Representative Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees, which shall not exceed one-third (1/3) of the total Settlement amount, plus reimbursement of the attorneys’ reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs. This amount also includes a service award for Representative Plaintiff. The remaining amount will be provided to persons who receive this Notice and return the completed Claim Form and Release by July 31, 2023.
