Happy Valentine’s Day! Because it’s February 14, it means tomorrow class members get to use the coupons for flower-delivery in EasySaver Rewards Litigation, which have blackout dates of February 1-14. Also the weeks before Christmas. And Mother’s Day. hlli.org/easysaver-rewards/

DOJ files statement of interest in Cowen v Lenny & Larry’s coupon class action settlement. @HamLincLaw @ccaf filed an objection previously. hlli.org/cowen-v-lenny-larry…
$2M for the attorneys, coupons worth $0.2M for class—if they’re redeemed. And class waives personal injury claims. Because of crummy notice, no one objected, but the court wouldn’t let Arizona AG intervene to protect the class. @ccaf has filed amicus. hlli.org/chapman-v-tristar/
.@LieffCabraser’s Elizabeth Cabraser once had (still has?) a “RULE 23” license plate. If she’s still doing the February 7 Ninth Circuit argument against me, it might be the first oral argument between lawyers with materially similar vanity plates. #appellatetwitter #classactions

This sort of nonsense would be explicitly illegal if the Supreme Court adopts arguments in our Frank v. Gaos briefing. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/1… “Consumer” groups and a dozen state attorneys general filed amicus briefs in support of the attorney windfalls. supremecourt.gov/search.aspx…
S.D. California approves #classaction settlement that pays class counsel $3.2 million, pays Sony VAIO owners $49,290, class reps $17,500, and waives all other Sony VAIO laptop claims. Case No. 3:09-cv-02109. Merry Christmas to attorneys getting 65 times as much as the class!

So, not a $30MM settlement, since, despite the headline, no way BMW pays $30MM. Maybe $3M. law360.com/classaction/artic…
