COMPLIANCE HEARING

TENTATIVE RULING:

On October 28, 2025 (with written order filed November 21, 2025, this court approved of the settlement in this Class Action and Private Attorney’s General Act (PAGA) case and the court set a compliance hearing for September 1, 2026.

On August 16, 2026, Madely Nava of Apex Class Action LLC (Apex), the settlement administrator, filed a declaration setting forth the work that Apex performed to disburse the settlement funds, and to comply with its obligations under the settlement agreement and this court’s order.

All disbursements have been made and the time for cashing the checks has passed. (Nava Decl., ¶¶ 2-11. The declaration states:

12. As of the date of this declaration, a total of $17,368.82 remains uncashed following the check cashing deadline. In accordance with the settlement agreement approved by the Court, the necessary paperwork to transfer the uncashed checks to the California State Controller’s Office - Unclaimed Property Fund has been submitted.

13. Per the State Controller’s Office of Unclaimed Property – Dormancy Periods, Apex shall hold the uncashed funds for one (1) year from the date of the notification, at which point Apex will then be able to transmit the unclaimed amounts in the Class Member’s name. Apex estimated all unclaimed property from this settlement shall be distributed to the State by approximately June 2027.

(Nava Decl., ¶¶ 12, 13.) Thus, except for the disbursement of any unclaimed property to the State, everything has been done to effectuate the settlement. Since the court has the responsibility to make sure that Apex distributes the unclaimed property to the State, the court sets another compliance hearing for August 24, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. in Department 4 with a compliance report/declaration filed and served five court days before the hearing.

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the court. Thereafter, counsel for plaintiff shall prepare a written order consistent with the court’s ruling for the court’s signature, pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 3.1312, and provide written notice of the
