What Can I Get From the Proposed Settlement?

Defendants has agreed to create a fund totaling $154,480 from which all payments contemplated by the Settlement Agreement will be paid, including:  (a) Service Award to Plaintiff, Isidro Calonia, Jr., in an amount up to $7,500; (b) reasonable attorneys’ fees to Class Counsel not to exceed 35% percent of the Settlement Fund plus reimbursement of reasonable costs; (c) costs incurred by or on behalf of the Settlement Administrator in administrating the settlement; (d) an equal share of the remaining Settlement Fund to each Settlement Class Member; and (e) if applicable, any remaining amounts will be distributed back to Defendants.

The Settlement Administrator will issue a check to each Class Member who does not otherwise exclude themselves following the final approval of the settlement. It is believed that each Class Member will receive approximately $480 from the Settlement Fund, but the exact amount is not yet known and could be more or less.
