CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT SPECIALTY COMMODITIES, INC., et al., WITHOUT PREJUDICE Defendants. [Re: ECF 47]
Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for the reasons stated at the hearing on June 27, 2019.

Additionally, the Court has not been provided with a copy of the signed settlement agreement. Plaintiff’s counsel stated at the hearing that these and the other deficiencies in the motion will be rectified in a renewed motion for preliminary approval.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
