• equating the “the binding effect of [a] class settlement” with “‘plain legal prejudice[]’ as when ‘the settlement strips the party of a legal claim or cause of action’”
• no legal prejudice demonstrated by non-settling defendant who chose to opt out and, thus, “did not involuntarily lose his individual claim”
• standing required to challenge class action settlement
