Lowery v. Joffe
Petition for certiorari denied on October 3, 2022
Issues: (1) Whether, or in what circumstances, a cy pres
award that provides no direct relief or benefit
to class members comports with the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(e)
requirement that a settlement binding class
members must be “fair, reasonable, and adequate"; and (2) whether Rule 23(b)(3) permits certification of
a class where the district court has found that
class members cannot be ascertained or even
self-identify without an individualized “difficult
and expensive” inquiry.
