This case is about the data security incident that impacted a portion of Lands’ End's computer systems and that occurred in December 2024 (the “Data Incident”). Certain files that contained some of your information may have been accessed, including personal information such as names; dates of birth; Social Security numbers; driver’s license and/or passport information; and in limited circumstances, medical information.

The lawsuit is called Jones, et al. v. Lands’ End, Inc. , Case No. 30301. It is pending in the Circuit Court for Iowa County, Wisconsin (the “Litigation”). Lands’ End denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.

Settlement Class Members are defined as individuals identified in Lands' End's records and are entitled to benefits under the Settlement. Settlement Class Members may have also received previous notice directly from Lands' End.

What Is the Lands’ End Data Breach Settlement About?

Did you receive a notice that your information was involved in the December 2024 Lands’ End Data Incident? A proposed class action settlement has been reached that may entitle you to a cash payment and free credit monitoring. You can claim a one-time Alternate Cash payment expected to be about $60 with no documentation, or reimbursement of up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses. The claim deadline is October 22, 2026.

The lawsuit, captioned Jones, et al. v. Lands’ End, Inc., Case No. 30301, is pending in the Circuit Court for Iowa County, Wisconsin. The case concerns a data security incident that affected a portion of Lands’ End's computer systems in December 2024. According to the settlement notice, cybercriminals may have accessed certain files containing personal information such as names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license and/or passport information, and in limited circumstances, medical information.

Lands’ End denies that it did anything wrong, and the court has not decided who is right. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the costs, risks, and uncertainty of continued litigation. The official Settlement Website is at LandsEndDataSettlement.com.

Who Qualifies for the Lands’ End Settlement?

The court has defined the Settlement Class as all persons residing in the United States whose private information was compromised in the Data Incident. Class members are identified in Lands’ End's records, and most received a notice directly from Lands’ End or the Settlement Administrator.

Excluded from the class are: Lands’ End and its directors and officers; governmental entities; the judge presiding over the case, along with the judge’s immediate family and court staff; and anyone who timely and validly excludes themselves from the settlement.

If you are not sure whether you are a class member, you can ask for free help through the official Settlement Website, which provides a way to confirm your eligibility and request a claim form.

How Much Can You Get?

Every Settlement Class Member may claim credit monitoring plus one of two cash options. You choose the option that fits your situation.

• Cash Payment B — Alternate Cash (~$60, no receipts): A one-time cash payment expected to be about $60.00. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation to claim this payment. This is the simplest option for most class members who did not have specific out-of-pocket losses.

• Cash Payment A — Documented Losses (up to $5,000): If you incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses because of the Data Incident between December 6, 2024 and October 22, 2026, you can be reimbursed up to $5,000.00. Covered expenses can include losses from identity theft or fraud; fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit; the cost to replace IDs; and postage to contact banks by mail. You must submit proof such as bank statements or receipts. You cannot claim expenses already reimbursed by a third party.

In addition to the cash option you choose, all class members receive two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete. This service includes $1 million of financial fraud insurance and monitoring for fraud or identity theft, unauthorized financial transactions, and personal information tied to high-risk transactions, along with access to a fraud resolution agent. Enrollment codes were sent to class members by postcard; if you no longer have your enrollment code, you can request a replacement through the official Settlement Website.

Cash payments are issued by your chosen method: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, a virtual prepaid card, or a physical check mailed to your address. You select your payment method on the claim form.

Data Breach · Claims Open

Current Status

Claims are open. Claim Forms must be submitted online or mailed with a postmark no later than October 22, 2026; the notice states a date rather than a cutoff time. The deadline to opt out or to object is earlier, on October 7, 2026, and the final approval hearing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on November 6, 2026 in San Diego — so the court has not yet decided whether to approve the settlement, and no payment date had been announced as of August 30, 2026. If you were mailed a notice with a Notice ID and Confirmation Code, the action to take now is to file a Claim Form. Nothing here arrives automatically: the notice says a class member who does nothing receives no benefits and still gives up the right to sue.

What Changed Recently?

Notice has gone out to the settlement class and the claim window is now running toward its October 22, 2026 close. The case is captioned Castro et al. v. Arch Health Partners, Inc. d/b/a Palomar Health Medical Group, Case No. 37-2024-00024339-CU-NP-CTL, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego. Arch Health Partners, Inc. is the entity that does business as Palomar Health Medical Group, the San Diego County medical group named in the case.

According to the court-authorized notice, the Data Incident is a cybersecurity incident on the defendant's computer systems that occurred between April 23, 2024 and May 5, 2024, in which class members' Private Information was accessed, acquired, disclosed or compromised. The notice does not itemize which categories of information were involved; that detail sits in the complaint and the settlement agreement rather than in the notice.

The plaintiffs allege Palomar Health is liable for the incident and pleaded a number of legal claims. Palomar Health denies all the claims and contentions against it and denies all charges of wrongdoing or liability, and the notice states plainly that the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing and is not an indication that the defendant violated any law. The court has not decided in favor of either side.

The notice also records something the settlement fund does not pay for: since the incident, the defendant says it has deployed endpoint detection and response tools, added backup storage capabilities and expanded network monitoring, and has borne the cost of those changes separately from the $3,100,000.

Who Qualifies?

The Settlement Class is all individuals whose Private Information was accessed, acquired, disclosed or compromised in the Data Incident. Class members were sent notice by mail, and the notice tells recipients that if they received it, they are eligible to submit a Claim Form. If you are unsure whether you are included, the official settlement website's contact page is the place to ask.

Excluded are the defendant's directors, officers and agents, along with those of its subsidiaries and affiliated companies; governmental entities; and the judge assigned to the action together with that judge's immediate family and court staff.

Worth being clear on one point, because the case is in a California state court and the defendant is a San Diego County medical group: the class definition is not limited by residency. Eligibility turns on whether your information was compromised in the incident, not on where you live. The notice does not say how many people are in the class.

How Much Can You Get?

The settlement creates a $3,100,000 Settlement Fund, and that one figure has to cover everything: all class member benefits, all settlement administration costs, and any attorneys' fees, costs and service awards the court awards. Class counsel will apply for fees of up to one-third of the fund plus reimbursement of costs, and for service awards of $2,500 for each of the five class representatives. The court may award less than requested. What is left after those deductions is the Net Settlement Fund the cash payments come out of.

What Changed Recently?

The case is Pinnacle Waste Services, LLC v. Waste Connections US, Inc., et al., No. 7:21-cv-02600-JDA, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, Greenville Division. The complaint alleges that Waste Connections US, Inc., Waste Connections of South Carolina, Inc., Waste Connections of North Carolina, Inc., and Waste Connections Lone Star, Inc., along with other subsidiaries and affiliates of Waste Connections, Inc., imposed rate increases and fuel surcharge fees on customers without a contractual basis. The operative complaint pleads breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing.

The defendants and the other Waste Connections subsidiaries and affiliates deny all of the allegations and deny any wrongdoing or liability. According to the notice, they contend their conduct was lawful and are settling to avoid the expense, inconvenience, and risk of continued litigation. The court has not ruled in favor of either side.

On June 24, 2026, the court preliminarily approved the settlement and certified a settlement class, which is what opened the claim process. The claim window runs through October 22, 2026. A brief explainer on what preliminary approval does and does not decide is worth reading if you are weighing whether to file now or wait.

Who Qualifies?

The certified settlement class covers all persons and entities — including corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, non-profit organizations, and governmental, quasi-governmental and public bodies — that arranged for or received solid waste collection services in the United States from any Waste Connections entity at any time during the class period. "Waste Connections entity" is defined broadly in the notice to reach any current, former or future direct or indirect subsidiary, division, affiliate or other related business entity of Waste Connections, Inc., including predecessors and successors. That matters in practice, because many customers were billed by a regional hauler brand rather than by anything labeled "Waste Connections."

The claim form's attestation asks the filer to confirm that they represent an entity that received hauling services in the United States from a Waste Connections entity from August 13, 2018 through the effective date of the settlement.

The exclusions are extensive, and several of them are the reason a customer who thinks they qualify may not. Excluded from the class are:

• Waste Connections, Inc. and any Waste Connections entity, along with their officers, directors, affiliates, legal representatives, employees, successors and assigns.
• The presiding judge, court staff, and their immediate family members.
• Customers served under a franchise agreement between a Waste Connections entity and a municipality or other governmental entity who did not have their own individual service agreement.
• Customers served in a rate-regulated market.
• Any HOA, and any customer receiving service under an agreement between an HOA and a Waste Connections entity.
• Residential customers. This is a commercial-account settlement; household trash service is not covered.
• Customers whose service agreement contains a binding class action waiver .

• Limited liability companies
• Governmental, quasi-governmental and public bodies
• Other organizations not specifically excluded

How much are settlement payments?

The exact amount each qualifying class member receives depends on the number of valid claims submitted and deductions for legal fees and other expenses.

How to claim an award

Eligible class members can submit an online claim form or download and complete the PDF claim form and mail it to the settlement administrator.

Current Status

Claims are open. The deadline to file is October 21, 2026, and the Notice gives that date without a cutoff time or timezone, so do not assume one. The Superior Court of California for the County of Riverside has granted preliminary approval, which means it found enough evidence to suggest the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate — not that it has approved it. The Final Approval Hearing was scheduled for October 1, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. before Judge Harold W. Hopp; as of October 20, 2026, the official settlement website still lists that date and no final approval order or payment date has been posted. The two earlier deadlines have passed: requests for exclusion and objections both had to be postmarked by September 1, 2026.

What Changed Recently?

The October 1, 2026 final approval hearing date has passed. As of October 20, 2026, the official settlement website still lists that hearing date and has not posted a final approval order, and its documents page shows no ruling. The claim window remains open through October 21, 2026.

Earlier, the Riverside Superior Court preliminarily approved the settlement in Donald Crosslin and Matthew Paone v. DAP Health, Inc., Case No. CVRI2500186, and notice has gone out to the class. The claim process is now running through Epiq, the settlement administrator, and class members who received a notice can file for benefits until October 21, 2026.

DAP Health denies the legal claims and denies any wrongdoing or liability. The Notice states that the court has not made any determination that DAP Health did anything wrong or that any law was violated, and that the parties agreed to settle to avoid the risk, cost and time of continuing the lawsuit. Our glossary entry on preliminary approval explains what that first ruling does and does not settle.

Who Qualifies?

The Settlement Class is all individuals in the United States whose Private Information was compromised in the Data Incident, including everyone who received notice of it and who has not opted out. The class is nationwide rather than California-only, even though the case is in a California court and one of the four benefits is limited to California residents.

Excluded from the class are the judges presiding over the lawsuit, Class Counsel and members of their families; DAP Health and its subsidiaries, parent companies, successors and predecessors, along with any entity in which DAP Health or its parents hold a controlling interest and its current or former officers and directors; anyone who properly submits a Request for Exclusion before the opt-out period expires; and the successors or assigns of any of those excluded people.

The notice describes the incident as resulting from a zero-day — that is, previously unknown — vulnerability in the Oracle EBS software that allowed an unauthorized actor to access certain Private Information from the environments of many of Oracle's EBS customers, Dartmouth's among them. Dartmouth sent notice of the incident in November 2025. Private Information is defined for this settlement as personally identifiable information consisting of some combination of names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and financial account information.

Dartmouth is one of a number of defendants in the consolidated litigation that used Oracle's EBS application, and this settlement covers the claims against Dartmouth alone. Dartmouth denies the legal claims and denies any wrongdoing or liability. The court has not decided in favor of either side and has made no determination that any law was violated; the parties agreed to settle to avoid the risk, cost and time of continuing the case. The notice also states that a class member's decision to stay in the class or to exclude themselves will not affect their ability to participate in any future settlement with a non-settling defendant.

Who Qualifies?

The settlement class is every living individual residing in the United States who was sent notice by Dartmouth that their Private Information may have been impacted in the data incident. Membership turns on having been sent that notice, which is also what carries the credentials needed to file online.

The notice excludes five groups from the class: Dartmouth's directors, officers, members and agents, along with its subsidiaries, affiliated companies and any entity in which Dartmouth has a controlling interest; governmental entities; the judge assigned to the case, that judge's immediate family and court staff; anyone a court of competent jurisdiction finds guilty under criminal law of initiating, causing, aiding or abetting the incident, or who pleads nolo contendere to such a charge; and any class member who validly and timely excludes themselves.

How Much Can You Get?

The settlement offers three benefits, all elected on the same claim form.

Cash Payment A reimburses documented out-of-pocket losses related to the data incident, up to $5,000 per class member. The notice gives telephone records, correspondence including emails, and receipts as examples of reasonable documentation. A personal certification, declaration or affidavit does not count as documentation on its own, though it may be submitted to give context to other records. Expenses already reimbursed from another source cannot be claimed again, including anything covered by the credit monitoring and identity theft protection product Dartmouth offered with its notification letter.

Employment · Pending — Automatic Payment

Current Status

There is no claim form: class members will be paid automatically if the court gives final approval. King County Superior Court preliminarily approved the $450,000 settlement on August 10, 2026, and the final approval hearing is scheduled for January 8, 2027. The deadline to opt out, object, or choose a digital payment is October 21, 2026. No payment date had been announced as of September 29, 2026.

What Changed Recently?

Judge Janet Helson of King County Superior Court preliminarily approved the settlement in Mitchell v. Mercurys Madness Inc., No. 25-2-18461-7 SEA, on August 10, 2026. Notices have gone out to class members, and the administrator, Simpluris, has opened the official settlement website.

The case was filed in June 2025. The named plaintiff alleged that Mercurys Madness Inc., the company behind the Eastside coffee chain Mercurys Coffee Co., posted Washington job openings without the wage scale or salary range and the general description of benefits that Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act has required in job postings by employers with 15 or more employees since January 1, 2023. Mercurys denies it did anything wrong or can be held liable, and settling is not an admission of wrongdoing. The court has not decided the merits.

Who Qualifies?

The settlement class is everyone who, from January 1, 2023 through August 10, 2026, applied for a job opening in Washington with Mercurys Madness Inc. where the posting did not disclose a wage scale or salary range, a general description of benefits and other compensation, or both. Mercurys represented in the settlement agreement that 3,505 people fit that definition.

Class members were identified from Mercurys’ records and should have received a notice. Someone who believes they were left off the list must raise it with the administrator, and Mercurys’ records control unless the applicant can show documentation that they should have been included.

How Much Can You Get?

The notice estimates each class member’s payment at $73.31. Every class member who does not opt out receives an equal share; there are no tiers.

The fund is $450,000, paid by Mercurys’ insurer, Hartford Underwriters Insurance Company. According to the settlement agreement, the amount is based on the company’s $500,000 employment practices liability policy limit minus estimated defense costs, which is why the per-person figure is far below the $5,000 in statutory damages per applicant the complaint sought. Before class payments, the fund covers attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of $150,000 (about one-third of the fund), a $15,000 service award for the named plaintiff, and administration costs capped at $30,000, all subject to court approval.

The final amount could rise slightly. Any unused administration money goes back to class members, the shares of anyone who opts out are reallocated to everyone else, and any fee or service award amount the court declines to approve is added to the class fund.

What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?

None to get paid. There is no claim form and no documents to send. The notice includes a Login ID and PIN, which are needed only to switch from a paper check to PayPal or Venmo, or to update a mailing address on the settlement website. Anyone who cannot find theirs can request them from the administrator through the website.

What Is the Deadline?

October 21, 2026 is the deadline to request exclusion (the letter must be postmarked by that date), to file an objection with the court, and to choose a digital payment method online. The notice does not give a time of day or time zone for the online deadline.

Class members who want a paper check do not need to meet any deadline, as long as the administrator has a mailing address that will reach them.

An applicant for employment, Kyle Mitchell (“Plaintiff” or “Class Representative”), filed a lawsuit against Mercurys Madness Inc. (“Defendant”) on behalf of himself and a class of similarly situated applicants for employment. The lawsuit, Kyle Mitchell v. Mercurys Madness Inc. , No. 25-2-18461-7 SEA (the “Lawsuit”) is pending in King County Superior Court before Judge Janet Helson. Plaintiff claimed in the lawsuit that Defendant’s job postings for open positions in Washington did not disclose the wage scale or salary range and/or general description of benefits being offered in violation of Washington law. Defendant disputes Plaintiff’s claims and contends it has not violated any law and Plaintiff’s claims are without merit.

The Court has not made any determinations regarding the merits of the Plaintiff’s claims, and it has not decided whether Defendant violated the law.

The parties to the lawsuit (the “Parties”) have reached a proposed Class Action Settlement. The settlement includes a total payment by Defendant’s Insurance Company of $450,000.00 (“Common Fund”). On August 10, 2026, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement and authorizing the Settlement Administrator, Simpluris, Inc. (“Settlement Administrator”), to issue the Notice .

If you received the Notice , it is because Defendant’s records indicate you are eligible to participate in the settlement as a member of the Settlement Class. “Settlement Class Members” include “Plaintiff and all individuals who, from January 1, 2023, through August 10, 2026, applied for a job opening in the State of Washington with Defendant, where the job posting did not disclose the wage scale or salary range and/or a general description of benefits for the position and other compensation to be offered to the hired applicant.”

The Court still has to decide whether to approve the settlement. No settlement benefits or payments will be provided unless the Court approves the settlement and it becomes final.

Please read the Notice carefully. Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you act or do not act. For complete details, please see the Settlement Agreement , the terms of which control.

Mercurys Madness $450,000 Labor Class Action Settlement

September 28, 2026 1:00 PM

Employment seekers who applied for a job with Mercurys Madness Inc. in Washington state between Jan. 1, 2023, and Aug. 10, 2026, may be eligible to receive an estimated cash payment of $73.31 from a class action settlement .

Mercurys Madness, now known as Mercurys Coffee Co., agreed to pay $450,000 to settle a class action lawsuit alleging its job postings in Washington failed to include required wage scales, salary ranges or general descriptions of benefits as mandated by state law.

Who are the class members?

Eligible class members must fit the following criteria:

How much can class members get?

Cash payment: Eligible class members will receive an equal share of the net settlement fund. The estimated payment per class member is $73.31. After deducting attorneys’ fees, a service award for the class representative and administrative costs from the total settlement fund, the settlement administrator will determine the final payment amount based on the number of eligible class members.

No action needed to receive compensation

Class members do not need to file a claim to receive their payment. The settlement administrator already has the information to determine eligibility and will automatically mail payments to eligible class members.

Class members can submit a payment selection and/or address update online using the login ID and PIN from their settlement notice or print the PDF address update form to complete and mail to the settlement administrator.

Social Casino · Claims Open

Current Status

Elections are open. Class members who do nothing will receive free coins in their game; anyone who wants money instead must submit an election form by October 21, 2026 (online by 11:59:59 p.m. CST, or by mail postmarked by that date). The Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama has scheduled the final approval hearing for November 10, 2026, and no final approval order or payment date has been announced as of September 23, 2026.

What Changed Recently?

Playstudios US, LLC, the company behind myVEGAS and several licensed casino-style apps, settled a class action filed in the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama, titled White, et al. v. Playstudios US, LLC. The case consolidates years of arbitrations and lawsuits in which players alleged that buying virtual chips in the company's games amounted to illegal gambling, and that players could recover their losses under the gambling laws of Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey and Massachusetts. The settlement agreement was filed with the court on June 30, 2026, and the settlement website is now accepting elections.

Playstudios denies all of the claims, denies that its games are gambling under any state's law, and agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of further litigation. The court has not decided who would have won.

Who Qualifies?

The class covers people who spent money to play any of these eight Playstudios games — myVEGAS Facebook, myVEGAS Mobile, myvegas.com, Pop! Slots, myKONAMI Slots, MGM Slots Live, myVEGAS Blackjack and myVEGAS Bingo — while in one of six states during that state's class period:

• Alabama: March 8, 2022, through June 30, 2026
• Ohio: July 26, 2022, through June 30, 2026
• Massachusetts: July 26, 2022, through June 30, 2026
• Tennessee: November 12, 2022, through June 30, 2026
• New Jersey: January 2, 2024, through June 30, 2026
• Kentucky: July 5, 2018, through June 29, 2023

Location is decided from Playstudios' own records — billing address, IP address or other account information — not from where you live today. Only money spent counts; players who used only free coins are not in the class. Judges on the case and their families, Playstudios and its affiliates and their officers, directors and employees, and anyone who opts out are excluded.

How Much Can You Get?

Every class member receives something; the choice is the form it takes. Both options are calculated from your own spending, not split evenly:

• Do nothing — free coins: in-game credits equal to 27% of what Playstudios kept from your purchases, delivered in installments over up to 24 months, starting within 30 days after the settlement takes effect.
• File an election — cash: a payment equal to 23% of what Playstudios kept from your purchases, by check, Zelle, PayPal or direct deposit.

"What Playstudios kept" means your spending after the 30% the app stores and Facebook take as platform fees. Both amounts are then reduced by your share of the lawyers' fee award, the administration costs and incentive awards of up to $10,000 each to the named plaintiffs.

As an OCA illustration only: a player who spent $100 during the class period would start from $70 after platform fees, so the cash election would be about $16.10 and the coin option worth about $18.90 — both before the fee and cost deductions, which the court has not yet set.

Cash is capped. All cash elections together cannot exceed 17% of the Total Settlement Amount; if they do, each cash payment is cut proportionally and the difference is paid in coins instead. Playstudios deposits $3 million into the settlement fund after final judgment and adds more as needed. Separately, Playstudios agreed to make its free-play feature at least as prominent as the prompt to buy more coins when a player runs low.

TCPA · Prerecorded Calls · Claims Open

Current Status

Claims are open. The deadline to file is October 20, 2026 — online Claim Forms must be submitted by that date and mailed Claim Forms must be postmarked no later than the same date. The Notice does not specify a cutoff time or a timezone, so treat the date itself as the deadline. The Court entered its Preliminary Approval Order on July 22, 2026, and the Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for October 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CDT. No final approval order has been entered and no payment date had been announced as of August 25, 2026. If a postcard reached you, it carries the Class Member ID you need to file.

What Changed Recently?

The case behind this settlement, Finley v. Altrua Ministries et al., Case No. 2026CH000018, was filed in the Circuit Court of LaSalle County, Illinois, Chancery Division. It names two defendants: Altrua Ministries, which does business as Altrua HealthShare, and Crown Administrators, Inc., which does business as Health Admins. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by placing prerecorded calls to cellular telephone numbers without prior express consent. Both defendants deny all wrongdoing, and the Notice states plainly that the Court has not decided who is right.

The Settlement Agreement was fully executed on June 18, 2026, and the Court entered its Preliminary Approval Order on July 22, 2026. That order set the class definition, authorized the notice program and opened the claims process. Kroll Settlement Administration began mailing postcard notices to the phone numbers identified in the calling records obtained for the case, and the official settlement website went live with the Claim Form, the Long Form Notice, the Settlement Agreement and the Preliminary Approval Order posted in its Documents section.

Who Qualifies?

The Settlement Class is defined narrowly. You are a Settlement Class Member if you are an individual in the United States to whom Crown, on behalf of Altrua, placed a phone call (1) through the use of AIRudder, (2) to a telephone number, (3) from December 2, 2024 through December 11, 2024.

Two things about that definition are worth reading twice. The first is the window: ten days, not ten months. A prerecorded call from the same operation in November 2024 or January 2025 falls outside the class. The second is the platform. AIRudder is the calling system named in the class definition, and eligibility turns on whether your call was placed through it — not on whether you remember hearing a recording. Neither element is something a class member can check from memory, which is why membership was drawn from the calling records obtained for the case and the administrator mailed notices to the numbers on that list rather than asking people to self-identify.

The Notice adds that you may still be part of the Settlement Class even if no notice reached you, as long as your phone number appears in those calling records. The Settlement Class excludes the defendants and their officers and directors, anyone who timely and validly requests exclusion, and the judges assigned to the case along with their staff and immediate families.

How Much Can You Get?

The Notice describes a Settlement Payment of up to $700.00. That is a ceiling, not a promise. The settlement creates a maximum fund of $1,100,000.00, and payments may be reduced on a pro rata basis so that approved claims, notice and administrative expenses, the fee award and costs, and the service award together do not exceed that Aggregate Cap.
