Tentative Ruling

Tizekker v. Bel-Air Bay Club, Case No. *******1006

Hearing Date 4/7/2022

Motion for Approval of PAGA Settlement (UNOPPOSED)

In this private attorney general (PAGA) action (Lab. Code 2698) plaintiff, on behalf of herself and other aggrieved employees, alleges defendant committed various Labor Code and wage/hour violations. The prevailing employee in a PAGA action is entitled to attorney’s fees and costs. Lab. Code 2699(a). Civil penalties recovered by aggrieved employees are to be distributed 75 percent to the Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) and 25 percent to aggrieved employees. Lab. Code 2699(i). In class actions, as in PAGA actions, the custom and practice is to award approximately one-third of a common fund as attorney’s fees. E.g., Chavez v. Netflix (2008) 162 Cal.App.4th 43, 66.

The parties settled for $200,000. The parties propose a distribution with $78,283.74 to LWDA, $66,666.66 for attorney’s fees, $14,345.02 for costs, $10,000 to plaintiff as an enhancement and $26,094.58 to the remaining PAGA employees.

Plaintiff argues the settlement is fair and reasonable, providing evidence that defendants’ conduct could result in a recovery of $621,008 at trial, but, considering the risks of litigation, $200,000 is reasonable. Cottrell decl. 42-57. Considering these factors, the settlement is valid. Plaintiff shows that one-third as attorney’s fees is reasonable, and the remaining distributions comply with Lab. Code 2699 et seq. There is no opposition. GRANTED.

DUE TO THE ONGOING COVID-19 PANDEMIC, PARTIES AND COUNSEL ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPEAR BY MICROSOFT OFFICE TEAMS.
