EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE CLASS. 41. If you do not want to be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement but you want to keep any right you may have to sue or continue to sue the Defendant Releasees on your own about the Released Plaintiff Claims, then you must take steps to remove yourself from the Settlement Class. This is called excluding yourself or “opting out.”
EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE CLASS. 10. Why would I want to be excluded from the Class? You do not have to take part in the settlement or be a member of the Class. You can exclude yourself from the settlement by “opting out.” If you exclude yourself, you will not get the benefits of the settlement. Any Court orders will not apply to you. By excluding yourself, you keep any right to file or proceed with a lawsuit against Defendants based upon the facts alleged in the lawsuit. If you have sued any of the Defendants and want to continue with your suit, you need to personally ask to be excluded from the Class. If you exclude yourself, you will not be legally bound by the Court’s judgments in this case. Similarly, if you wish to start your own lawsuit against any of the Defendants, you must exclude yourself from the Class. Should you do so, you will have to hire and pay your own lawyer for that lawsuit and prove your claims. If you do exclude yourself so you can start or continue your own lawsuit, you should talk to your own lawyer soon, because your claims may be subject to a statute of limitations.
