Distribution to Class Members. 48. In addition to her share as a Participating Class Member, class representative Xxxxx Xxxxxxx will receive $20,000, subject to approval of the Court, to be paid from the Class Member Pool to compensate her for bringing this case, the time she spent on this case and her loss of privacy as a result of serving as the named Plaintiff. Xx. Xxxxxxx has worked closely with Plaintiffs’ counsel since late 2009 to change the policy at issue. Since the lawsuit was filed in September 2011, she has regularly provided counsel with information and has informed numerous Class Members and other witnesses about the lawsuit. She attended pretrial hearings including the summary judgment hearing, and she attended a mediation in Worcester with then-Magistrate Judge Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx. She answered interrogatories and document requests, many of which were of a highly personal nature, in painstaking detail. She spent many hours preparing for her deposition, which lasted for the full seven hours permitted under the Federal Rules. Although she was released from the WCC in 2011, the lawsuit has required her to continue to focus on painful memories of her time in jail. This payment will be issued at the same time as the distribution payments to Class Members.

Distribution to Class Members. Class Counsel proposes that approximately $610,000.00 of the Settlement Fund be allocated to pay claims by Settlement Class Members. Each Settlement Class Member who submits a valid and timely Claim Form will be entitled to receive $100 for each day (24-hour period) that the Settlement Class Member was detained after the initial 48-hour period of confinement without having had a probable cause determination made by either a judge or certified clerk or other valid basis for detention (e.g., a pending arrest warrant or capias) during the period of January 18, 2016 and January 18, 2019, up to a maximum of 21 days. If the total amount due on the qualified claims exceeds the Distribution Amount, then the daily rate each Settlement Class Member will receive will be reduced by a pro-rata amount. Class Counsel estimates that each qualified Settlement Class Member will receive between $100 and $2,100 as a settlement payment. If the total amount of the certified claims is less than the Distribution Amount, then any remaining Settlement Funds shall revert to the City and Public Entity Partners.
