Gutierrez v. California Commerce Club, Inc.

Welcome to the Gutierrez v. California Commerce Club, Inc. Settlement Website

If You Are or Were a Non-Exempt Employee of Commerce Casino, You May Be Eligible for a Payment from a Class Action Settlement.

A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against California Commerce Club, Inc. dba Commerce Casino (“Commerce Casino”), which alleges that the company failed to provide meal periods and rest breaks in compliance with California law. Commerce Casino denies that it did anything wrong and disputes the claims made against it. This is a settlement and is not a decision by the Court. The Court has not found that Commerce Casino did anything wrong.

Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Read the Notice carefully.

Summary of Your Legal Rights And Options In This Settlement
GET PAYMENT AUTOMATICALLY	You do not have to do anything to get a payment from the settlement. If the Court approves the settlement and it becomes final and effective, all identifiable Settlement Class Members who remain in the Settlement Class will automatically get a payment.
EXCLUDE YOURSELF	Get no payment. This is the only option that allows you to participate in any other lawsuit against Commerce Casino regarding the legal claims in this case.
OBJECT	Write to the Court about why you don’t like the settlement.
GO TO A HEARING	Ask to speak in Court about the fairness of the settlement.
DO NOTHING	If the settlement is approved by the Court, you will automatically receive the payment to which you are entitled under the settlement and will give up your right to participate in further litigation against Commerce Casino about the claims in this case.

These rights and options – and the deadlines to exercise them – are explained in the Notice.

The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the settlement. Payments will be made only if the Court approves the settlement and after appeals, if any, are resolved. Please be patient.
