Opinion
Opinion
Walker, J.
ORDER
The parties seek final approval of settlement in this class action against McKee Foods Corporation (“McKee”) for violation of the overtime requirements of the California Labor Code, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, unfair and fraudulent business practices and declaratory relief. Docs. # 103; 1.
As set forth in the court’s October 15 order, Doc. # 100, McKee manufactures Little Debbie Snack Cakes and Sunbelt snacks and cereals and sells its products to independent distributors, who then resell the products to supermarkets, mass merchandisers and other retail outlets. After unsuccessful settlement discussions, the parties engaged former United States District Judge Eugene F Lynch to mediate the case. The mediation proved fruitful and on August 11, 2009, the parties moved for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement.
The court granted preliminary approval of the class action settlement on October 15, 2009, 2009 WL 3349549 . Doc. # 100. The factual background of the case and the terms of the settlement agreement have not changed since the issuance of that order; therefore, the court does not rescribe those items here.
