thanks for the update I’m sure the envelope or deposit on Monday good luck to you and all us who filed a timely and valid claim
No, no deposits or checks. the case is still being appealed
Hey, anyone received any deposits or checks as of Jan, 30th 2014 which is today.lol
I also had a pending deposit of $0.00 to my account. It stated Rosales also. Nothing was deposited. Not sure if they were doing a test run to see if account was good. I saw it pending on Wednesday but no money posted.
Thank you for that comment Nicole, I never thought of that, but that makes a lot of sense. I’m sure you’re right.
I contacted the settlement administrator, and they said the appeal was NOT dismissed, and that no payments are being made at this time. Im not sure why people are on here lying about pending deposits or appeals being dismissed, but those claims are untrue. When in doubt contact the Claims Administrator
I am sorry that you think I am lying, but I assure you that I am not. I was just trying to give information to everyone. In the prenotification in my checking account it says “Rosales Action”, so since that is the person named in the lawsuit, I assume that is what the deposit is for. I will update when it shows up, with the amount. I am not trying to start false rumors, or get people excited with a lie, and I am sorry Thomas if I did something wrong by posting this information. After I update about deposit, I will not post ever again, because I was just trying to help, and I feel like I am being attacked.
Hope this is true,someone should post the moment they recieve a check.
I selected direct deposit instead of a paper check, and in my checking account history I show a pending deposit from this lawsuit scheduled for tomorrow. It doesn’t say how much, but somethings coming tomorrow.
Sorry I jumped the gun a little. The prenotification in my checking was for 2 days out, so it will be in on Friday.
If the appeal was indeed denied, then they are held to the orgininal stipulated agreement, which states they must begin to pay claims within 10 days and complete payment of all claims within 30 days.
Thanks Max, any amount stated as yet ?
No idea. I guess we’ll find out soon.
The case was appealed to the 9th Circuit, but the appeal was dismissed in October because the plaintiffs didn’t pay their court fees:
“Filed order (Deputy Clerk: DEV) Dismissing case for failure to prosecute (Cir. Rule 42-1) Pursuant to Circuit Rule 42-1, this appeal is dismissed for failure to pay fees., This order served on the district court shall constitute the mandate of this court. [9282265] (DEV) [Entered: 10/20/2014 10:22 AM]”
So it should be any time now.
Please quitclying Max. Its not . helping anyone. The appeal has not been dismissed. There is no documentaion of such, and the xxx defense attorney office comfirmed that the appeal has not been dismissed.
Here’s the PACER output. I guess the 9th Circuit docket is lying also. You should contact the administrator or the plaintiff attorney BTW, not the defense.
