The Fairness Hearing was held on April 14, 2008, and the District Court approved the Settlement on May 27, 2008. Appeals were subsequently filed contesting final approval of the Settlement. A hearing on these appeals was held on January 28, 2010, at the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. On July 13, 2010, the appeals court sent the settlement back to a lower court for further consideration. On August 27, 2010, the Court issued an order granting plaintiffs' request for a rehearing by the entire Court, thereby making the first appellate court decision no longer in effect. The Court heard the appeal again on February 23, 2011. On December 20, 2011, it held that the settlement complied with the law and should be approved.

I hope they send me my 15 cents while I'm still alive.
