Appellant Michael Nadler challenges the district court’s approval of a $1.725 million (plus accrued interest) settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) and plan of allocating the Settlement (the “Plan of Distribution”) in a securities class action litigation. This litigation was brought on behalf of investors who purchased Mego common stock from January 14, 1994 through and including November 9, 1995 (the “Class Period”) against Mego Financial Corp. (“Mego”), Deloitte & Touche, LLP (“Deloitte”), and a number of individuals 1 (collectively, Mego, Deloitte & individual defendants are referred to as “Defendants”).

Nadler argues that the district court abused its discretion by: (1) approving the Settlement; (2) approving the Plan of Distribution; (3) certifying the class for Settlement; (4) awarding a substantial fee award to counsel for plaintiffs (“Class Counsel”); and (5) awarding an additional incentive award to the representatives of the class.

We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm.
