WILLITS, et al v. CITY OF LOS ANGELES - Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims

I. "Final," as applied to the term "Judgment" (as defined below), means that (i) the time for appeal or writ has expired and no appeal or petition for review has been taken, or (ii) if an appeal or petition for review is taken and the settlement set forth in this Settlement Agreement has been affirmed in full, the time period during which any further appeal or review can be sought (including through any appeal, petition for review, writ of certiorari or otherwise) has expired and no such further appeal or review has been sought. In the event that no objections to this Settlement Agreement are raised prior to or at the Fairness Hearing, that any objections that have been raised have been fully and formally withdrawn, or that no viable objections otherwise exist at the time of the Fairness Hearing, the Judgment shall become "Final" as of the District Court’s issuance of the Judgment. If the Judgment is set aside, materially modified, disapproved or overturned by any court, and is not fully reinstated on further appeal or review, the Judgment shall not become or be "Final."
