The parties must comply with both the Court's Standing Order in Civil Cases and Standing Order for Pretrial Instructions in Civil Cases for additional deadlines and procedures. All Standing Orders are available on the Court's website at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/ygrorders. Further, the parties should review the District's Procedural Guidance for Class Action Settlements.
Counsel is advised that in order to ensure that settlements being brought before the Court are fair and reasonable, and to ensure transparency, accountability, and class participation, the Court will require, as part of any application for approval, counsel to provide the following information for each of their five most recent approved and fully distributed class settlements:
The total settlement fund, the total number of class members, the total number of class members to whom notice was sent and not returned as undeliverable, the number and percentage of claim forms submitted, the number and percentage of opt-outs, the number and percentage of objections, the average and median recovery per claimant, the largest and smallest amounts paid to class members, the method of notice and the method of payment to class members, the number and value of checks not cashed, the amounts distributed to each cy pres recipient, the administrative costs, the attorneys' costs, the experts' fees, and the attorneys' fees in terms of total amount, percentage of the settlement fund, and multiplier.
Counsel should be prepared to summarize this information in easy-to-read charts that allow for quick comparisons with other cases and include a column with the anticipated results of the action at issue. The parties can also expect to provide the same information after final distribution and payment of any attorneys' fees.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
