The PAGA settlement in Ramirez Benitez v. Premium Packing resolved claims across 13+ Labor Code sections for a settlement amount of $109,530. The approval motion I drafted was designed to preemptively address every basis on which PAGA settlement motions are typically challenged or rejected. The structure applied the Moniz v. Adecco three-part purpose test (remediation, deterrence, enforcement maximization) as an organizing framework, then preemptively distinguished Kullar v. Foot Locker — the leading authority reversing settlements for inadequate investigation — by documenting the specific discovery conducted, the time records reviewed, and the analytical methodology employed. A claim-by-claim litigation risk analysis identified the evidentiary burden for each violation category: which claims required individualized proof (meal period waiver defenses under Brinker), which turned on scienter (wage statement penalties requiring 'knowing and intentional' violation under § 226(e)), and which were susceptible to the Donohue presumption. The fee application demonstrated a negative lodestar multiplier of 0.237 — counsel's actual time exceeded the fees requested. Exhaustive research across Westlaw, Lexis, and Trellis.Law confirmed no publicly available PAGA-only settlement approval motion of comparable analytical depth.
