Objections to the Settlement 7.1 Any Settlement Class Member who wishes to object to the Settlement Agreement must submit a timely and valid written notice of his or her objection (“Objection”) by the Objection Deadline (as defined herein). Such notice shall: (i) state the objecting Settlement Class Member's full name, current address, telephone number, and email address (if any); (ii) contain the objecting Settlement Class Member's original signature; (iii) set forth information identifying the objector as a Settlement Class Member, including proof that the objector is within the Settlement Class (e.g., copy of the Notice or copy of original notice of the Data Security Incident); (iv) set forth a statement of all grounds for the objection, including any legal support for the objection that the objector believes applicable; (v) identify all counsel representing the objector; (vi) state whether the objector and/or his or her counsel will appear at the Final Approval Hearing, and; (vii) contain the signature of the objector's duly authorized attorney or other duly authorized representative (if any), along with documentation setting forth such representation.
HOW DO I OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT Only Settlement Class Members have the right to object to the Settlement. Before deciding whether to object, you may wish to see what Plaintiff and Defendant are asking the Court to approve. At least twenty-eight (28) days before the MONTH XX, 202X Final Approval Hearing, Class Counsel and/or Plaintiff will file in Court (1) a Motion for Final Approval that includes, among other things, the reasons why the proposed Settlement is fair, and (2) a Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Litigation Costs and Service Award stating (i) the amount Class Counsel is requesting for attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses; and (ii) the amount Plaintiff is requesting as a Class Representative Award. Upon reasonable request, Class Counsel (whose contact information is in Section 9 of this Notice) will send you copies of these documents at no cost to you. You can also view them on the Administrator’s Website www. .com or the Court’s website xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/casesummary/ui/. A Settlement Class Member who disagrees with any aspect of the Agreement, the Motion for Final Approval and/or Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Litigation Costs, and Service Award may wish to object. The deadline for sending written objections to the Administrator is MONTH XX, 202X. Be sure to tell the Administrator what you object to, why you object, and any facts that support your objection. Make sure you identify the Action Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx v. Venus Et Fleur, LLC Case No. 22STCV05864 and include your name, current address, telephone number, and approximate dates of employment for Defendant and sign the objection. Section 9 of this Notice has the Administrator’s contact information. Alternatively, a Settlement Class Member can object (or personally retain a lawyer to object at your own cost) by attending the Final Approval Hearing. You (or your attorney) should be ready to tell the Court what you object to, why you object, and any facts that support your objection. See Section 8 of this Notice (immediately below) for specifics regarding the Final Approval Hearing.
Payments from the Gross Settlement Amount The Administrator will make and deduct the following payments from the Gross Settlement Amount, in the amounts specified by the Court in the Final Approval:
Certification of the Settlement Class For purposes of this Settlement only, the Parties stipulate to the certification of the Settlement Class, which is contingent upon the Court entering the Final Approval Order and Judgment of this Settlement and the occurrence of the Effective Date.
EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT If you do not want benefits from the Settlement, and you want to keep the right to sue or continue to sue Defendant on your own about the legal issues in this case, then you must take steps to get out of the Settlement. This is called excluding yourself—or it is sometimes referred to as “opting out” of the Settlement Class.
