2022-01289124

Plaintiff’s Motion for Final Approval Motion for Class Counsel Award Plaintiff’s motion for final approval of the parties’ class action settlement is GRANTED. The Court approves the following distributions: 1. Attorney’s fees in the amount of $100,000, or 33.3% of the GSA. The Court finds this amount to be a reasonable result in light of the quality of the result obtained, the work performed by class counsel, a review of the billing

records provided, and the estimated lodestar. In particular, the Court notes that the fee request is considerably less than what appears to be a legitimately incurred lodestar, that counsel has been working on contingency since 2022, and that due to the funding structure of the settlement, counsel cannot expect payment until sometime in 2027. In approving this amount and examining the billing records provided, the Court is not approving any particular hourly billing rates proposed by class counsel.

2. Litigation costs in the amount of $26,812, the full amount sought.

3. Administration costs in the amount of $6,425, per the administrator’s declaration.

4. An enhancement of $7,500 to Plaintiff. In making this award, the Court has considered only the factors set forth in Golba v. Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (2015) 238 Cal.App.4th 1251 and Clark v. Am. Residential Servs. LLC (2009) 175 Cal.App.4th 785. In particular, the Court notes that by filing suit while still a current employee, Plaintiff faced a concrete risk of retaliation.

5. Payment to the LWDA of $11,250, per the parties’ PAGA allocation.

Pursuant to section 384(b) of the Code of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff shall submit to the Court a final report on or before May 28, 2027 setting forth the actual amounts paid to class members and other amounts disbursed pursuant to the settlement. Upon receiving the report, the Court will determine whether further reports and/or a hearing will be necessary. 7 Dickens vs. KP Anaheim Holdings LLC
