Civil - Unlimited  Other employment Motion Hearing (Civil) 37-2021-00053768-CU-OE-CTL MONTGOMERY VS CONSUMERS ALLIANCE PROCESSING CORPORATION CAUSAL DOCUMENT/DATE FILED:

Plaintiff Kevin Montgomery unopposed motion for final approval of class action settlement is GRANTED.

The settlement terms are fair and in compliance with the requirements of Dunk v. Ford Motor Co. (1996) 48 Cal. App. 4th 1794, 1800-1801.

Plaintiff also requests $43,461.05 in attorney fees, $10,413.65 in costs, and for a $7,500.00 incentive award to Plaintiff. Based on experience with the southern California legal markets, including Los Angeles and San Diego, and the evidence submitted in the moving papers, the court concludes these requests are reasonable.

Plaintiff's request for payment of $6,750 to ILYM Group, Inc., the Settlement Administrator, is reasonable and within the parameters defined by the settlement agreement. Accordingly, this payment is approved.

Plaintiff's counsel's request for $43,461.05 in fees and $10,413.65 in costs is granted. Plaintiff's request for a $7,500.00 incentive award is also granted.

The court will sign the proposed orders after the tentative ruling is confirmed.
