SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 10 – Maribel Moses sued
The New York Times for
automatic renewal fraud, in a
then-putative class
actions.
On
September 10 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Ronnie Abrams held a hearing
on final approval of class
action settlement. Inner City
Press covered it.
Most
of the questioning was into
attorneys' fees, and the
incentive award of $5000 for
the named plaintiff.
Alan Isaacson,
characterized by the parties
as a serial objector, said she
should not be deemed an
adequate class representative"
after she asked for
$5000.
But, the
opposition says, Isaacson had
just this argument denied by
the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals in 2019.
Judge Abrams said
the settlement, fees and
incentive award are fair.
The case is Moses
v. The New York Times Company,
20-cv-4658 (Abrams)
