Civil - Unlimited  Other employment Motion Hearing (Civil) 37-2021-00048225-CU-OE-CTL MARIN VS HB LEISURE INC [E-FILE] CAUSAL DOCUMENT/DATE FILED: Motion for Approval of Class Settlement, 01/24/2024

In the papers for the preliminary approval, the parties represented that '[t]here are approximately 94 individuals that comprise the class.' (ROA 36, Prelim. Mot. at p. 10:25.) Now, there appear to be 256 class members. (See ROA 51, Final Mot. at p. 9:16; id. at p. 11:13.) Further, the settlement amount has changed since the preliminary approval.

While the net settlement amount payable to class members has increased by approximately $16,000 (the difference consisting of an increased net settlement and a reduction in counsel costs), the court requests a discussion on whether this modest increase is consistent with the much larger increase in class size.
