No earlier hearing date is available for this motion. 12 Tran, et al. v. Byram Healthcare Centers, Inc.
2023-01309069 Plaintiffs’ Motion to Amend Order and Judgment Plaintiffs move to amend the February 26, 2026 order granting final approval of the class action and PAGA settlement in this case and the judgment thereon (ROA 195) (the “Order and Judgment”) because the settlement administrator discovered following entry of the Order and Judgment that the gross settlement amount calculated pursuant to the escalator clause in the settlement agreement is lower than previously stated, i.e., the Order and Judgment states the gross settlement amount is $896,166.35, but the settlement administrator subsequently discovered the gross settlement amount is $887,287.36. Castro Decl. (ROA 210) ¶ 15. (While plaintiffs style their motion as a “renewed” motion for final approval, review of the motion papers makes clear plaintiffs seek to amend the Order and Judgment.)
Plaintiffs’ unopposed motion to amend the Order and Judgment to modify the gross settlement amount stated at page 2 line 13 of the Order and Judgment is granted. Plaintiffs state that other than modifying the gross settlement amount, the Order and Judgment should otherwise remain unchanged.
To the contrary, as the gross settlement amount has decreased, the amount of attorneys’ fees awarded to Class Counsel should also decrease proportionally. The Order and Judgment awarded Class Counsel $291,666.67 in attorneys’ fees based on a gross settlement amount of $896,166.35 (i.e., 32.5% of $896,166.35). The Order and Judgment shall be amended to modify the amount of attorneys’ fees awarded to Class Counsel stated at page 2 line 16 to $288,368.40 (i.e., 32.5% of $887,287.36).
The court will issue an amended order and judgment consistent with the above ruling. Plaintiffs are ordered to give notice, including to the LWDA, and to file a proof of service. 13
