Cox, United States District Judge, at the Theodore Levin United States Courthouse, 231 West Lafayette Boulevard, Detroit, MI 48226, Courtroom 817, for the purpose of determining: (1) whether the proposed settlements with Yazaki and DENSO Defendants totaling $320,000 should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable and adequate; and (2) whether the Court should approve the proposed plan of distribution of Yazaki and DENSO settlement proceeds to members of the settlement classes.
