Adam Voelker, et al. v. Enroll Confidently Incorporated

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Arizona adopts a magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation and grants preliminary approval of a class action settlement in Voelker v. Enroll Confidently Incorporated. The order conditionally certifies a settlement class, appoints class representatives, class counsel, and Epiq Systems as settlement administrator, and approves the proposed notices and claim form. It sets deadlines for notice, objections, opt-outs, claims, fee and service-award applications, and a final fairness hearing on August 6, 2026.

Holdings

1. Because no objections were filed and the objection period had elapsed, the district court adopted the magistrate judge's report and recommendation and granted the unopposed motion for preliminary approval.
2. The court preliminarily approved the parties' settlement as fair, adequate, reasonable, and in the best interests of the putative class, and conditionally certified the settlement class for settlement purposes only.
3. The proposed settlement notices and claim form satisfied Rule 23(e) and due process and constituted the best notice practicable under the circumstances.

Questions Presented
