In Pineda Gadea v. GKG Restaurant, Judge Daniels granted an extension and set January 2, 2020, as the deadline to seek settlement approval.
The plaintiff and defendants are affected by the extended deadline and the requirement that the plaintiff seek settlement approval. The order may also concern the people the plaintiff seeks to represent, but it does not describe any effect on them.
What happened
In Pineda Gadea v. GKG Restaurant, Inc., the plaintiff asked for more time to restore the case to the court’s calendar. The order does not describe the underlying claims or the settlement’s terms.
The court granted the request for a further extension. It directed the plaintiff to file a motion seeking approval of the settlement by January 2, 2020, under the process identified in Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc.
Judge George B. Daniels issued the order. It grants the extension and sets a deadline for the settlement-approval motion; it does not itself approve the settlement or decide the underlying claims.
