Ferrington v. McAfee, Inc.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA SAN JOSE DIVISION
Apr 5, 2012
Case No.: 10-CV-01455-LHK (N.D. Cal. Apr. 5, 2012)

Summary

denying approval where settlement was “a claims-made settlement with no minimum distribution. In other words, only claims are paid, and any remainder will revert to Defendants. A reversion provision, like the one contained in the agreement here, is yet another indication that the proposed agreement does not meet the standards set forth in Rule 23(e).”
