IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the Motion is GRANTED. The Court further finds:The Court awards Plaintiffs' counsel (i) $24,585,272.06 in attorneys' fees and (ii) $9,914,727.94 to reimburse expenses incurred in connection with this litigation (and that have not been previously reimbursed from the Common Benefit Fund). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, New GM is ordered to pay the fees and costs no later than 30 days after the later of the Final Effective Date or the expiration of any appeal period or the resolution of any and all appeals relating to the Attorneys' Fees and Expenses award. The Class Representatives have devoted considerable time and effort to this litigation, including supervising counsel and responding to discovery. The result obtained for the Class would not have been possible without the participation of these Plaintiffs. The Court awards $2000 to Class Representatives who were deposed,4 and $1000 to Class Representatives who were not deposed. These Plaintiffs are identified in Exhibits A and B, respectively. The Court finds that these awards are reasonable, and fall squarely within the range approved for similar cases in this Circuit. See, e.g., Alaska Elec. Pension Fund, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 202526, at *17-18; Godson v. Eltman, Eltman, & Cooper, P.C., 328 F.R.D. 35, 60 (W.D.N.Y. 2018); Kindle v. Dejana, 308 F. Supp. 3d 698, 718 (E.D.N.Y. 2018); Jermyn v.
