• denying 15 preliminary approval of a $12.25 million settlement after extensive analysis of the 16 method used to calculate the settlement value
• explaining 14 that counsel had drastically undervalued a claim because outdated information with an open class 15 period was used
• finding 16 problematic, among other things, the “seemingly arbitrary reduction of [the PAGA] penalty to a 17 miniscule portion of the settlement amount – $ 122,250, which is less than one percent of the 18 total”
