Judge: Elaine Lu, Case: BC698500, Date: 2022-08-03 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: BC698500    Hearing Date: August 3, 2022    Dept: 26

On June 15, 2022, Plaintiff filed two Motions For Settlement Under The California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act (Penalties Pursuant To Labor Code §558).  The Court requests clarification whether the two motions are identical copies of each other.

Assuming that the two motions are identical and were merely inadvertently filed twice, the Court is prepared to approve the parties’ settlement under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act (Penalties Pursuant to Labor Code §558).  However, the Court points out that although the settlement includes a request to retain jurisdiction to enforce the settlement under CCP section 664.6, the proposed order electronically lodged on June 15, 2022 does not include any provision for the Court to retain jurisdiction under CCP section 664.6 to enforce the settlement. 

If the parties wish for the Court to retain jurisdiction under CCP section 664.6 to enforce the settlement, they should either electronically file a new proposed order adding this provision, or they can request the Court to amend the June 15, 2022 order to add a provision retaining jurisdiction under CCP 664.6.
