This checklist provides direction on what information and argument the court requires to grant a
motion for preliminary approval of a class action settlement. All parties are urged to carefully
review the checklist and fully comply with each item that applies to the case in order that the
motion may be promptly ruled upon. The content of the motion should follow the same order as
this checklist, as that is how the judge and research attorney review the motion.
You should also consider using the form wage and hour settlement agreements now available on
the court’s website at https://www.lacourt.org/forms/all — “Civil Forms” section. With input and
unanimous consensus from an Ad Hoc Wage and Hour Committee (chaired by Judge Hogue and
Judge Cunningham and comprised of 8 plaintiff’s attorneys and 8 defense attorneys), the court
has posted: (1) a form class action settlement agreement, (2) a form class action/PAGA
settlement agreement, (3) and a form PAGA settlement agreement. Using these forms should cut
down on attorney negotiation time and reduce the lag time between a successful mediation and
execution of a long form agreement. Filing a motion that is based on a form agreement and
includes a redlined copy identifying modifications will also expedite the court’s review process
and help reduce the current backlog on hearings. These forms are encouraged but entirely
optional.
I MOVING PAPERS (Motion and Declarations)
All facts submitted for the court to consider must be provided in the form of a declaration or
other admissible evidence. The court will not consider facts stated only in the motion.
A. Introductory Information
O Summary of the litigation, including identity of the parties, brief procedural history,
claims asserted, and general factual basis for the claims.
