4 30-2022-01243365 Plaintiffs Araceli Herrera, Brittany Towns, and Loretta Herrera vs. Behavioral Urbina’s (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) Motion for Final Approval Systems Southwest, of Class Action and PAGA Settlement is GRANTED IN Inc. PART.
An enhancement award of $5,000 for each named plaintiff is sufficient and proper for a class and settlement of this size, and based on each plaintiff’s contribution to the case.
The court also finds that an attorneys’ fee award totaling $321,750.00 or 33% of the Gross Settlement Amount is fair, adequate and reasonable for the class and settlement of this size. The court has increased the percentage from its standard award of 30% in light of the size of the recovery for class members and the extra work required to litigate the motion to compel arbitration through appeal.
The court concludes that the $975,000.00 class action and PAGA settlement is fair, adequate and reasonable, and approves the following specific awards: • $321,750.00 (40% or $128,700 to Otkupman Law Firm, ALC and 60% or $193,050 to Lawyers for Justice, PC) to plaintiff’s counsel for plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees, reduced from the $341,250.00 requested; • $20,000.00 ($12,086.83 for Lawyers for Justice, PC and $7,913.17 for Otkupman Law Firm, ALC) to plaintiff’s counsel for plaintiff’s litigation costs, as requested; • $15,000.00 to Plaintiffs as enhancement awards ($5,000.00 to Araceli Herrera, $5,000.00 to Brittany Towns, and $5,000.00 to Loretta Urbina), reduced from the $37,500.00 requested; • $7,950.00 to ILYM Group, Inc., the settlement administrator, as requested; and • $75,000.00 to the LWDA for its share of PAGA penalties, as requested.
