Is there any value for an injunction issued by a federal district court against a class action plaintiff?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Briseño v. Henderson, 998 F.3d 1014 (9th Cir. 2021):
We go further and also hold that the district court erred by placing even "some value" on the injunction because it was, and is, virtually worthless. A district court abuses its discretion when it approves a settlement despite "no evidence that the relief afforded by [a] settlement has any value to the class members, yet to obtain it they had to relinquish their right to seek damages in any other class action." Koby v. ARS Nat. Servs., Inc. , 846 F.3d 1071, 1079 (9th Cir. 2017).
