Case Information

Laichev v. JBM, Inc.

This case has been tentatively settled in principle, but subject to approvals by the named plaintiffs, the defendants, and the court. Individual participants in the case will have the opportunity to review the proposed settlement, upon a notice approved by the Court and will have the following options: to participate in the case, to object to the settlement, or to exclude themselves from the settlement.

Getman Sweeney is not presently able to give information concerning the proposed settlement to the individuals who opted into the case because a final settlement agreement has not yet been committed to writing and has not yet been preliminarily approved by any of the parties – named plaintiffs or defendants. No additional consents to sue will be accepted for filing in this case.

A settlement “administrator” will also be selected by the parties and will be available to give information about the status of the case. However, an administrator has not yet been selected.

As soon as a full agreement has been signed, the parties will approach the Court for a “preliminary fairness” determination – that is that the settlement is fair enough on its face to send a notice seeking comment from all participants. That notice will contain all the information participants in the case will need to evaluate whether to accept the settlement, to object, or request to be excluded.

Individual class members who filed a consent to sue are requested NOT to contact Getman Sweeney at this time, as no further information beyond what is stated here can yet be determined. We will be in touch as soon as there is sufficiently definite information to share.
