At the date, time, and location stated in Section 18 of the Notice, the Court will hold a Fairness Hearing to determine if the Settlement
is fair, reasonable, and adequate, and to also consider Settlement Class Counsel’s request for a Fees, Costs, and Expenses Award, and a
Service Payment to the Plaintiffs.
If you wish to object to the fairness, reasonableness, or adequacy of the Settlement Agreement or the proposed Settlement, you must
write to the Court and must:
(a) clearly identify the case name and number – “Baldwin, et al. v. Miracle-Ear, Inc., et al., D. Mn. Case
No. 20-cv-1502”;
(b) include the full name and the unique identification number for the Settlement Class Member assigned by the
Settlement Administrator;
(c) include the address, telephone number called, current telephone number, and email address (optional) of the
objecting Settlement Class Member;
(d) include the full name, address, telephone number, and email address of the objector’s counsel,
and the state bar(s) to which counsel is admitted (if the objector is represented by counsel);
(e) provide a detailed explanation stating
the specific reasons for the objection, including any legal and factual support and any evidence in support of the objection; and
(f)
be signed personally by the Settlement Class Member or such Member’s counsel. The objection will not be valid if it only objects to the
lawsuit’s appropriateness or merits. Objections must be filed directly with the Court. If an objection is filed with the Court by postal
mail, the Settlement Class Member must pay for postage. The Settlement Administrator’s contact information is below.
