States Courthouse, 1 Courthouse Way, in Boston, Massachusetts.\u00a0 At this hearing, the Court will consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate.\u00a0 If there are timely and valid objections, then the Court will consider those objections.\u00a0 Judge Casper will listen to people who properly have asked to speak about an objection, as described below.\u00a0 The Court may decide how much to award Class Counsel as fees for representing the Class and how much to award Scott Smith as Class Representative.\u00a0 Class Counsel has requested that the Court approve an award for attorney\u2019s fees and expenses of $200,000 to compensate them for handling the Class Action and a Class Representative Award of $2,000 to Scott Smith to compensate him for his work on behalf of Class Members.\u00a0 At or after the hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement.\u00a0 We do not know how long this decision will take.\u00a0 The hearing may be moved to a different date or the Court may hold the hearing online, via telephone or video conference, or in some other format, without additional notice.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-block stk-1124971
