The following excerpt is from Adoma v. Univ. of Phx., Inc., NO. CIV. S-10-0059 LKK/GGH (E.D. Cal. 2012):
Class counsel also moves for approval of its fees and costs. "In order to obtain fees justified on a common fund basis, the class's lawyers must ordinarily petition the court for an award of fees separate from and subsequent to settlement." Staton v. Boeing, 327 F.3d 938, 945 (9th.Cir. 2003).
