1Opinion of the Court
HARTNETT, Vice Chancellor.
The Court must consider whether to approve the proposed settlement of this purported class action pursuant to Chancery Rule 23(e). Plaintiffs (“Settling Plaintiffs”) in this action join the defendants in urging the approval of the settlement. The Objectors, who are not parties in this action but are the plaintiffs in a pending action in Federal Court in California, object to that part of the settlement which would bar their federal claims and request the opportunity to opt-out of the Class or to have the federal claims excluded from the settlement.
