Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action suit on February 11, 2019, against DC Solar Solutions, Inc., Double Jump, Inc., Dora Dog Properties, LLC, Dog Blue Properties, LLC, Brandy Boy Properties, LLC, 475 Channel Road, LLC, Park Road, LLC, 140 Mason Circle, LLC, and DC Solar Distribution, Inc. (together “Double Jump”) seeking to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for former Benicia and Buena Park employees under the California Labor Code § 1400 et. seq. (the “California WARN Act”).
We contended Double Jump ordered mass layoffs on or about December 18, 2018, without providing its employees with advance written notice. The case was heard in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada.
The Court, on August 3, 2021, granted our motion to certify the WARN case as a class action and appointed the Plaintiff as class representative and our firm as Class Counsel.
The settlement class comprises the Plaintiff and all persons who worked at, reported to, or received assignments from Defendants’ Facility in Benicia, California who were terminated without cause, as part of, or as the result of, a mass layoff ordered and carried out beginning on December 18, 2018 and within 30 days of that date, who were not provided 60 days’ advance written notice of their terminations as required by the Cal-WARN Act.
Notice of the class action was mailed on April 8, 2022, and on September 29, 2022, the parties participated in a court ordered mediation. The parties reached a proposed $400,000 settlement of the WARN pay and benefits subject to preliminary and final approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada.
On September 21, 2023, the Court granted preliminary approval and notice of the terms of the settlement was mailed to all class members on October 12, 2023. The Court granted final approval at the Fairness Hearing on December 7, 2023.
Settlement checks were mailed to class members on February 5, 2024.
