The opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
CODY BROWN, individually and behalf of all CIVIL ACTION
others similarly situated,
Plaintiffs, NO. 22-1097-KSM
v.
KADENCE INTERNATIONAL, INC.,
Defendant.
ORDER
AND NOW, this 15th day of September 2023, upon consideration of Plaintiffs’
“Unopposed Motion for an Order Certifying the Case as a Collective Action for Settlement
Purposes Only, Approving the Settlement Agreement, Granting a Service Award, and Awarding
Attorneys’ Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses” (Doc. No. 23), Plaintiffs’ counsel’s renewed
request for attorneys’ fees and costs (Doc. No. 29), and the Court’s March 23, 2023 Order
approving the settlement agreement as fair and reasonable, granting the service award, but holding
Plaintiffs’ counsel’s request for fees and costs under advisement (Doc. No. 28), it is hereby
ORDERED as follows:
1. The Court approves the payment to class counsel of $77,532.00 to cover attorneys’
fees and costs incurred in the prosecution of this action, which the Court finds are fair and
reasonable based on the Court’s independent analysis and consideration of the factors set forth in
Gunter v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., 223 F.3d 190 (3d. Cir. 2000).
2. This matter is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. The Court will maintain
jurisdiction over the enforcement of the settlement.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
