Plaintiffs' Motion for Final Approval of Class and PAGA Action Settlement is granted.

Plaintiffs are awarded $500,000 in attorney's fees and actual costs in the amount of $18,199.48. The Court finds that the requested fee award is appropriate as one-third of the gross settlement amount and justified by Class Counsel's identified lodestar, the skill displayed by Counsel and the substantial benefit conferred on the Class.

Plaintiffs are also seeking enhancement awards of $10,000 each for named Plaintiffs Antonio Calderon and Jorge Carrillo. These requests are also granted.

The requested payment of $13,000 to the Settlement Administrator is granted.
