Plaintiff Jonathan Moore's unopposed Motion For Final Approval Of Class Settlement And Award Of Attorneys' Fees, Costs And Service Award is GRANTED. The court finds the record demonstrates that the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate. (See Dunk v. Ford Motor Com. (1996) 48 Cal.App.4th 1794, 1801; see also Kullar v. Foot Locker Retail, Inc. (2008) 168 Cal.App.4th 116, 128, cleaned up ["The well-recognized factors that the trial court should consider in evaluating the reasonableness of a class action settlement agreement include the strength of plaintiffs' case, the risk, expense, complexity and likely duration of further litigation, the risk of maintaining class action status through trial, the amount offered in settlement, the extent of discovery completed and the stage of the proceedings, the experience and views of counsel, the presence of governmental participation, and the reaction of the class members to the proposed settlement."].)

The court, thus, grants final approval of the settlement. The court will execute the proposed order and judgment submitted with the motion.
