Case Number: 19STCV30950    Hearing Date: April 26, 2023    Dept: 24

Hearing on motion for court approval of PAGA

The calendar provides that this matter is on calendar today for a motion for court approval of PAGA, probably based on the minute order of November 30, 2022, which provides in relevant part “the Hearing on Motion – Other Motion for Court approval of PAGA Settlement scheduled for June 30, 2022 is continued to 04/26/2023…”.   The court’s records, however, reflect the court has already entered an order approving the PAGA settlement.  Two persons (Ashley Shaw and Mario Parra) have appealed the settlement which was entered over their objections. \ Today is likely a status conference on the appeal.
