2024-01441429
Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class/PAGA Settlement
The Court has reviewed the supplemental materials provided by Class Counsel and finds that they adequately address the previously identified issues. Accordingly, Plaintiff Moises Benitez and Walter David Rodriguez’s Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action and PAGA Settlement is GRANTED.
This is a putative wage-and-hour class action and PAGA matter.
On 11/21/2024, Plaintiffs Moises Benitez and Walter David Rodriguez, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a class action and PAGA complaint against Defendants LAZ Parking California LLC and Alan Lazowski. (ROA #2.) Defendant answered on 2/14/2025. (ROA #23.) The operative complaint is the first amended complaint (FAC), filed on 1/13/2026 pursuant to the Court’s order granting leave, alleging various Labor Code wage-and-hour violations and unfair business practices, including a claim for PAGA penalties. (ROA #59.)
On 2/13/2026, Plaintiffs filed the instant Motion for Preliminary Approval of the Class Action and PAGA Settlement, and submitted the Class Action and PAGA Settlement Agreement and Class Notice and Class Notice for the Court’s review. The motion seeks preliminary approval of the parties’ proposed settlement of Plaintiffs’ class and PAGA claims for the nonreversionary gross settlement amount (GSA) of $2,500,000. The GSA includes $100,000 allocated for PAGA penalties.
On 6/18/2026, the Court continued the first hearing on the motion and asked Class Counsel to address various issues. (ROA #106.) Counsel then submitted supplemental materials, including an Amended Class Action and PAGA Settlement Agreement and Class Notice (“Amended Settlement Agreement”). (ROA #104, Exh. 1.)
Based on a review of all papers submitted, including the Amended Settlement Agreement, the Court finds the settlement falls within the range of what is considered fair and reasonable, subject to a final determination at the Final Approval hearing.
