- nysd;;1:17-cv-09464_de94 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER re: (8156 in 1:14-md-02543-JMF) MOTION for Attorney Fees . filed by Goodwin Procter LLP. In sum, any claim to attorney's fees that Goodwin may have pursuant to the terms of its private engagement letter with Lead Counsel has no bearing on whether the Court should approve the Settlement Agreement. Nothing in the Settlement Agreement precludes Goodwin from pursuing such claims as part of the post-settlement allocation process or in a later and separate action for breach of the private engagement letter. And nothing in Order No. 42 (or Rule 23(h) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) exempts Goodwin from the procedure that now applies to all counsel seeking a share of the fee award. Most importantly, Goodwin's concerns regarding the ultimate share of attorney's fees to which it may be entitled provide no basis for the Court to reject the Settlement Agreement as unfair, unreasonable, or inadequate for the class. To the contrary, Goodwin's requested relief would harm the very class members this Court is charged with protecting in its review of the Settlement Agreement. For these reasons, Goodwin's objection was overruled and its motion was denied. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate 14-MD-2543, ECF No. 8156 and 14-MC-2543, ECF No. 405. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 12/18/20) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:14-md-02543-JMF et al. (yv) (Entered: 12/18/2020)" @default.
