No tentative opinion.

The Court seeks clarification on the amounts requested for Class Counsel's litigation costs and settlement of PAGA penalties. Specifically, the motion requests $14,000 in litigation costs, but the class notice and the actual settlement agreement include recovery of costs up to $10,000. (Settlement Agreement, ¶ 3.2.2; Notice at pg. 5 § 3.2.A.) Similarly, the motion requests $9,000 for PAGA penalties but the class notice identifies the PAGA penalty amount as $10,000 'allocated 75% ($7,500.00) to the LWDA PAGA Payment and 25% ($2,500.00) in Individual PAGA Payments' (Notice at pg. 5 § 3.2.D) and the settlement agreement states: 'PAGA Penalties in the amount of 5% [$10,000] to be paid from the Gross Settlement Amount, with 75% ($6,750.00) allocated to the LWDA PAGA Payment and 25% ($2,250.00) allocated to the Individual PAGA Payments' (Settlement Agreement, ¶ 3.2.5).
