How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an award of roughly one- 18 sixth of the potential recovery was fair and adequate
• emphasizing that the touchstone of the analysis is whether “the parties have sufficient information to make an informed decision about settlement,” including formal and informal discovery
• holding, in relevant part, that the named plaintiffs must “prosecute the action vigorously on behalf of the class” to satisfy the requirement of adequate rep- resentation
• explaining that a combination of 27 investigation, discovery, and research may suggest that the parties “had sufficient information to 28 make an informed decision” about the settlement
• explaining that a combination of investigation, discovery, and research conducted 9 prior to settlement can provide sufficient information for class counsel to make an informed 10 decision about settlement
• noting that keeping class members together was proper because each group was “allegedly damaged by the fraud” complained of and “the necessity for disposing of all potential claims justifies the inclusion of” both classes
