Case 3:17-cv-00849-VC Document 72 Filed 05/10/18 Page 10 of 3412MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIESI.Clarkson Law Firm, P.C.9255 Sunset Blvd., Suite 804Los Angeles, CA 900693INTRODUCTIONThe parties have reached a nationwide settlement of the putative class action filed by4Plaintiff Thomas Iglesias (“Plaintiff” or “Mr. Iglesias”) against Defendant Ferrara Candy Co.5(“Defendant” or “Ferrara”). Ferrara manufactures confectionary products, including opaque6“theater boxes” of candy sold at retail outlets and movie theaters throughout the United States.17On February 21, 2017, Plaintiff filed a complaint in this Court alleging that the Products’8oversized opaque packaging deceives consumers into believing they are receiving more candy9than they actually receive due to the presence of nonfunctional empty space, or “slack-fill.” In the10second amended complaint (“SAC”), Plaintiff alleges claims for unjust enrichment and violations11of state and federal packaging laws and consumer protection statutes (Dkt. 71). It is appropriate to12certify a nationwide class because Defendant’s challenged packaging is uniform for all purchasers,13and the elements of the legal claims are nearly identical in all states. The minor differences among14state laws are immaterial to certification particularly because the laws of all 50 states are15substantively identical to California.16Due to this litigation, Defendant has agreed to modify its fill level quality control17procedures and target fill levels to at least 75% for theater box Products, and at least 50% for bag-18in-a-box Products.19Defendant will also pay 2.5 million into a common fund. Each class member who makes20a claim may obtain a cash refund of 50 cents per box purchased. A class member may submit21claims for an unlimited number of purchases. Up to 15 claims, for a total of 7.50, will be paid22without Proof of Purchase. Plaintiff may apply for a reasonable incentive award from the common23fund not to exceed 5,000, and his counsel may apply for an award from the common fund to24reimburse their costs, and to pay their attorneys’ fees not to exceed 30% of the fund.252627281The “Products” or “Covered Products” or “Settlement Class Products” means all candy productsmanufactured by Defendant and packaged for sale or resale to consumers in an opaque cardboardbox (including bag-in-a-box products), including Jujyfruits , Jujubes , Now and Later ,Lemonhead , Applehead , Cherryhead , Grapehead , RedHots , Trolli , Chuckles , BlackForest , Jawbuster , Jawbreaker , Brach’s , Boston Baked Beans , Super Bubble ,Rainblo , Atomic Fireball , and all flavors and varieties of those candies (Dkt. 71).1MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

Case 3:17-cv-00849-VC Document 72 Filed 05/10/18 Page 11 of 341Notice is to be provided to the class via several methods, including (1) print publication,2(2) internet impression advertising, (3) targeted search term advertising, (4) a press release, and3(5) a dedicated settlement website. A well-known third-party claims administrator has designed4the notice plan and has attested that notice will reach at least 70% of the class.56Ryan J. Clarkson (“RJC Decl.”) filed herewith. The proposed class notices can be found at7Exhibits D and E. The proposed claim form is attached as Exhibit C.89Clarkson Law Firm, P.C.9255 Sunset Blvd., Suite 804Los Angeles, CA 90069A copy of the settlement agreement is attached as Exhibit (“Ex.”) 1 to the Declaration ofThe settlement falls within this Court’s standard for preliminary approval because it is fair,reasonable, and adequate, and will survive the same rigorous level of scrutiny as this Court10applied in Cotter v. Lyft, Inc., 193 F. Supp. 3d 1030, 1036 (N.D. Cal. 2016); Hunt v. VEP11Healthcare, Inc., No. 16-cv04790-VC, 2017 WL 3608297 (N.D. Cal., Aug. 22, 2017); and,12Eddings v. DS Services of America, Inc., No. 15-cv-02576-VC, 2016 WL 3390477 (N.D. Cal.13May 20, 2016). There is a presumption of fairness because the settlement was reached after14substantial discovery, law and motion practice, including a robust class certification motion15supported by four retained experts who conducted full expert reports based on a detailed slack-fill16analysis and 3,788-participant consumer survey, and after arms-length negotiations. See Nat’l17Rural Telecomm. Coop. v. DIRECTV, Inc., 221 F.R.D. 523, 528 (C.D. Cal. 2004).18Numerous other factors also strongly favor the settlement, including the risks of further19litigation and the informed opinion of experienced counsel on all sides who have negotiated and20approved it based upon their views of the strengths and weaknesses of the claims and defenses.21See id. (finding that experienced counsel’s views regarding settlement are entitled to great22weight). The proposed Settlement is a product of extended arms-length negotiations between23experienced attorneys familiar with the legal and factual issues of this case, including two24mediations with experienced neutrals. As a result of these efforts, the parties are fully informed of25the merits of this action and the fairness, adequacy, and reasonableness of the proposed settlement.26As detailed in Plaintiff’s motion for class certification filed on March 5, 2018 (Dkt. 53-54),27the proposed settlement class satisfies Rule 23(a), (b)(2) and (b)(3). Accordingly, Plaintiff’s28motion for preliminary approval should be granted.2MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

Case 3:17-cv-00849-VC Document 72 Filed 05/10/18 Page 12 of 341FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND2A.3Plaintiff filed his class action complaint on February 21, 2017, in the U.S. District Court forLitigation History4the Northern District of California, alleging violations of state and federal packaging laws and5consumer protections laws (Dkt. 1). On April 19, 2017, Defendant filed a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to6dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint (Dkt. 14). On May 10, 2017, Plaintiff filed his FAC pursuant to Rule715(a) to add additional remedies available under the statutes in lieu of an opposition (Dkt. 18).89Clarkson Law Firm, P.C.9255 Sunset Blvd., Suite 804Los Angeles, CA 90069II.On May 24, 2017, Defendant filed a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss the FAC, claimingthe Products are not misleading and do not contain nonfunctional slack-fill (Dkt. 28), which10Plaintiff opposed on June 7, 2017 (Dkt. 34), to which Defendant replied on June 14, 2017 (Dkt.1137), and the Court denied on July 25, 2017 (Dkt. 40).12On August 8, 2017, Defendant answered Plaintiff’s FAC (Dkt. 41). After the completion13of substantial discovery described infra, Plaintiff moved for class certification on (Dkt. 53-54) on14March 5, 2018. The parties settled the case before Defendant filed its opposition (Dkt. 58).15B.16On June 27, 2017, Plaintiff served Defendant with requests for admissions, requests for17production of documents, and special interrogatories. RJC Decl. ¶ 5. In connection with these18requests, and Plaintiff’s motion to compel further responses, which the Court granted on19November 15, 2017, Defendant produced over 6,000 documents totaling tens of thousands of20pages of complex information and spreadsheet data.
