The motion for preliminary approval of the class action and PAGA settlement is GRANTED as to the current version of the parties’ settlement agreement, as amended. The court also approves the current version of the notice. The motion for final approval shall be heard on December 14, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. in Department CX103.

Moving papers are due 16 days prior to the hearing. The proposed order and judgment should be revised consistent with the above. Additionally, the following revisions should also be made: 1. Add “Assigned for all purposes to: Hon. David A. Hoffer, Dept. CX103” between the case number and the document title on the caption page.

2. In the non-numbered, introductory paragraph on page 1, the amendment to the settlement is misidentified as ROA 109. Replace ROA 109 with the correct citation, i.e., ROA 116.

3. In paragraph 5, the amendment to the settlement is misidentified as ROA 109. However, as no clean version of the notice has been filed, simply delete “attached to the Declaration of Heather Davis ROA 109 and” from this paragraph, as no reference to the ROA is needed. Plaintiff is ordered to give notice of this court’s ruling, including to the LWDA, within 10 calendar days and to file a proof of service.
