Roger Bacon, et al. v. County of Los Angeles, et al.

Case No. BS058574

Opt-Out Info

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EXCLUSION DEADLINE HAS PASSED.

To ask to be excluded, you must send by mail a letter titled “Exclusion Request,” asking to be excluded from the Settlement Class in Bacon v. County of Los Angeles. Be sure to include your name and address and sign the letter, and include the following statement:

I understand that I am requesting to be excluded from the Settlement and that I will receive no monetary refund under the Settlement entered into by the County of Los Angeles. I understand that if I am excluded from the Settlement, I may bring a separate legal action, but may receive nothing or less than what I would have received if I had filed a claim under the Settlement procedure in this case.
You must mail your Exclusion Request postmarked by August 17, 2010, to:
Bacon v. County of Los Angeles Claims Administrator
c/o Rust Consulting, Inc.
PO Box 2289
Faribault, MN 55021-2424
You may download an Exclusion Request Form below. 

If you ask to be excluded, you will not get any Settlement payment, and you cannot object to the Settlement. You will not be legally bound by anything that happens in this lawsuit. You may be able to sue (or continue to sue) the County of Los Angeles as part of any other lawsuit about the same legal claims that are the subject of this lawsuit. Also, if you do so, you will have to hire and pay for your own lawyer for that lawsuit or represent yourself, and you will have to prove your claims. In this case, you should talk to your own lawyer soon, because your claims may be subject to a statute of limitations (meaning that the time limit for you to file a lawsuit may be running out).

If you exclude yourself from the Class and Settlement, and later decide that you want to participate in the Settlement, you can withdraw or rescind your exclusion request by submitting a “Rescission of Exclusion Request” to the Claims Administrator. If you change your mind, you should send the Claims Administrator a statement that includes your name, address, and telephone number and the following language:

I previously submitted an Exclusion Request seeking exclusion from the Settlement. I have reconsidered and wish to withdraw my Exclusion Request. I understand that by rescinding my Exclusion Request I may be eligible to receive a monetary payment under this Agreement and release claims under the terms of this Agreement.
You must sign and date the statement and send it to the Claims Administrator no later than August 17, 2010.
