Park v. Hanpool, Inc.

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ANDREW PARK, et al., Plaintiffs, -v- CIVIL ACTION NO. 23 Civ. 11309 (SLC)

HANPOOL, INC., et al., ORDER TO SUBMIT SUPPLEMENTAL SETTLEMENT MATERIALS Defendants.

SARAH L. CAVE, United States Magistrate Judge.

The Court is in receipt of the parties’ Letter-Motion for Settlement Approval (ECF No. 77 (the “Motion”)) and the accompanying “Settlement Agreement and Release” (ECF No. 77-1 (the “Agreement”)). In the Motion, the parties refer to a retainer agreement (the “Retainer Agreement”) with Plaintiffs (see ECF No. 77 at 6), but the Court cannot locate the Retainer Agreement in the record. And although the Agreement states that it has itself been translated into Spanish and Korean depending on the primary language of each plaintiff, it makes no such representation as to the Retainer Agreement. Consequently, by Friday, May 9, 2025, Plaintiffs’ counsel shall file a copy of any Retainer Agreement and a declaration attesting that it was translated into each Plaintiff’s primary language before execution. See Sanchez v. Alan’s R E 99 Cents & Up Inc., No. 16 Civ. 1881 (CBA) (LB), 2018 WL 2452784, at *5 (E.D.N.Y. Apr. 24, 2018) (requiring submission of proof that an agreement had been translated into the plaintiff’s primary language). Dated: New York, New York May 2, 2025 SO ORDERED. ‘nh Chat AC ed Statées-Magistrate Judge
