A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit titled, Brannon v. Rancho Family Medical Group, Inc., Case No. CVRI2403395, pending in the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside (the “Litigation”). The Litigation is a result of the unauthorized access of personal information in November 2023 at KMJ Health Service (“KMJ”), a service provider of Rancho Family Medical Group, Inc. (“RFMG” or “Defendant”), (the “KMJ Incident”).
If you were notified by RFMG that your personal information may have been impacted by the KMJ Incident, you are included in this settlement as a Settlement Class Member. You may opt-out or be excluded from the Settlement Class by following the instructions in the Notice.
Under the settlement, RFMG has agreed to pay $315,000.00 into a Settlement Fund to pay for all costs of the settlement, including: (1) Notice and Administrative Expenses; (2) Fee Award and Expenses, as approved and awarded by the Court; (3) the Service Award, as approved and awarded by the Court; (4) documented Out-of-Pocket Losses; (5) Attested Time claims; (6) Pro Rata Cash Payments; and (7) transfer of Remainder Funds to the extent any exist following the preceding payments. RFMG will also pay for three (3) years of three (3) bureau credit monitoring for Settlement Class Members (requires enrollment within a specific period).
Your legal rights will be affected whether you act or do not act. You should read the entire Notice carefully.
Your Legal Rights And Options In This Settlement | |
Submit A Claim Form | Submitting a Claim Form is the only way that you can receive Compensation for Out-of-Pocket Losses and/or compensation for Attested Time. You do not need to submit a claim form to receive Credit Monitoring Services or a Pro Rata Cash Payment if you are a Settlement Class Member. |
Exclude Yourself From The Settlement | This is the only option that allows you to sue, continue to sue, or be part of another lawsuit against RFMG or the other Released Parties, involving the KMJ Incident or claims this settlement resolves. If you exclude yourself, you will give up the right to receive any settlement benefits from this settlement. |
Object to or Comment on the Settlement | You may object to the settlement by writing to the Court and informing it why you do not think the settlement should be approved. If you object, you may also file a Claim Form. If you exclude yourself from the settlement, you cannot object to the settlement. |
Go to the Final Approval Hearing | You may attend the Final Approval Hearing where the Court may hear arguments concerning approval of the settlement. If you wish to speak at the Final Approval Hearing, you must make a request to do so in your written objection or comment. You are not required to attend the Final Approval Hearing. |
Do Nothing | If you do nothing, you will be eligible to receive Credit Monitoring Services and a Pro Rata Cash Payment. You will give up your right to sue RFMG or the Released Parties about the KMJ Incident and the legal claims this settlement resolves. |
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. No Settlement Benefits or payments will be provided unless the Court approves the Settlement, and it becomes final.
