Opinion
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
MATTHEW AMANS, et al., Case No. 21-cv-03577-VC Plaintiffs,
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
Vv. PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF
CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT
TESLA, INC.,
Re: Dkt. No. 98 Defendant.
As more fully discussed at the hearing, the motion for preliminary approval of class action settlement is denied. The current motion does not adequately explain the relative strengths and weaknesses of the plaintiffs’ claims. Nor does it adequately explain how the parties calculated the amount of money to set aside for each category of nonautomatic settlement relief. For these reasons, the motion is denied without prejudice.! See Cotter v. Lyft, Inc., 193 F. Supp. 3d 1030, 1036-37 (N.D. Cal. 2016); see also Hunt v. VEP Healthcare, Inc., 2017 WL 3608297 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 22, 2017); Eddings v. DS Services of America, Inc., 2016 WL 3390477 (N.D. Cal. May 20, 2016). If the plaintiffs wish to submit a renewed motion for preliminary approval, they must do so within 21 days of this ruling.
