ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS AND SERVICE AWARD
HON. ANN AIKEN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE,
The Motion for Final Approval of Attorneys' Fees and Costs and Service Award, filed by Lorraine Lytle (“Plaintiff”) came for hearing in the above-captioned court, the Honorable Ann Aiken presiding. Defendant does not oppose the motion but preserves its ability to oppose the extent of the award of attorneys' fees.
Having reviewed the papers and documents presented, having heard the statements of counsel, and having considered the matter, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:
1. The Court has jurisdiction over the claims of the Participating Class Members and Opt-In Plaintiffs asserted in this proceeding and over all Parties to the action.
2. The Court FINALLY APPROVES a service award of $15,000 for Plaintiff, and finds that this award is fair and reasonable for the work this individual provided to the Class and Collective and the broader release she executed than the Class Members and Opt-In Plaintiffs.
3. The Court FINALLY APPROVES Class Counsel's request for attorneys' fees of one third of the Gross Settlement Amount, for a total of $383,333.33 in fees.
4. The Court FINALLY APPROVES Class Counsel's request for litigation costs in the amount of $3,164.77.
5. The Court FINALLY APPROVES Class Counsel's request for administrative costs not to exceed $6,940.00 to be paid to ILYM Group as Settlement Administrator.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
