The final approval hearing -- for the plaintiffs' class counsel attorneys' fees, now about $1.2 million in total (to be paid by the US government) will be held on January 7, 2022 in Los Angeles.
This will bring largely to a close the abominable actions of Tangerine, and his brutalizing families, by forcibly separating children from their parents at our southern border. The litigation will remain open, as efforts to reunite families continue -- but the government will no longer resist complying with the UN Protocol on the Treatment of Refugees. I cannot believe I just typed that, but that was Tangerine's official policy -- in addition to ignoring well-settled INS/ICE and US BP regulations. Here is the latest, entered as a text only docket note -- as of this past Thursday:
. . .ORDER by Judge Dolly M. Gee.
Pursuant to the Court's September 30, 2021 Order [1186], the parties have filed a joint report stating that no objections to the parties' proposed settlement of Plaintiffs' Motion for Attorney's Fees [708] have been received from class members. Plaintiffs shall file their motion for final approval by December 31, 2021. The Court will hold a hearing to consider final approval of the proposed settlement on January 7, 2022 at 10:00 a.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED. . . .
Now you know. . . and I am getting excited to get out of single digits, and get into a pool under the bell-clear azure skies with my coffee, on most mornings -- at 75 degrees. . . in about six days -- for a month, in the Sonoran desert. Smile. . . .
