Plaintiff’s Motion for Approval of Paga Settlement

The Court has reviewed the supplemental briefing filed in response to the prior minute order. The motion for approval of the parties’ PAGA settlement is GRANTED. The Court finds the parties’ settlement is “fair, reasonable, and adequate in view of PAGA’s purposes to remediate present labor law violations, deter future ones, and to maximize enforcement of state labor laws.” (Moniz v. Adecco USA, Inc. (2021) 72 Cal.App.5th 56, 72.) The Court approves the following distributions:

1. Attorneys’ fees in the amount of $34,500, or 30% 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 counsel, and the estimated lodestar. In approving this amount, the Court is not approving any particular hourly billing rates proposed by counsel.

2. Litigation costs in the amount of $15,000, representing the full amount sought.

3. Administration costs in the amount of $2,950, per the administrator’s bid.

4. The amount remaining is to be distributed 75% to the LWDA and 25% to the aggrieved employees as required by the version of PAGA in effect when the case was filed.

The Court declines to award an incentive payment to Plaintiff. The settlement agreement in Plaintiff’s companion FEHA action provides that approval of this PAGA settlement is a condition precedent to Defendant’s payment obligations in the FEHA settlement. In effect, the two actions have been settled together in a single, unified settlement. The amount Plaintiff will receive

for his FEHA settlement is more than sufficient to compensate him for his efforts in achieving a unified resolution of claims.

Please submit a revised proposed order for the Court’s signature that conforms to the foregoing. 5 Pacific Stone Construction, Inc. vs. Rafipoor
