Modesto Inn Class Action

A class action lawsuit has been brought against the residential property located at 807 Needham Street in Modesto, California 95354 commonly known as the “Modesto Inn” alleging habitability and building code violations. The operators of the Modesto Inn deny all allegations. The plaintiff class in this class action lawsuit is divided into two groups 1) those that stayed at the Modesto Inn for 30 consecutive days or more between May 23, 2008 through September 14, 2012 and 2) those that stayed at the Modesto Inn from June 23, 2012 through September 14, 2012. If you are included in either group or both you may be affected by this class action lawsuit. If you are included in either group or both, you have to decide whether to stay in the plaintiff class in this class action lawsuit and be bound by the results of this class action lawsuit, or ask to be excluded from this case’s plaintiff class and keep your individual right to sue the Modesto Inn and any other responsible parties. There is no money available now and no guarantee that there will be. As of now, the Court has not decided the merits of the claims alleged against the Modesto Inn. The Court has approved Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C. as “class counsel.” You don’t have to pay class counsel, or anyone else, to participate in the plaintiff class in this class action lawsuit. Instead, if money or benefits is received on behalf of the plaintiff class in this class action lawsuit, the attorneys may ask the Court to award attorneys’ fees and costs, which would be paid by the Modesto Inn. You may hire your own lawyer to appear in court for you; if you do, you are responsible for paying that lawyer’s fees. Alyssa Nottbohm and Dana Nottbohm are class members like you and the Court accepted them as the “class representatives” of the plaintiff class in this class action lawsuit. You have a choice of whether to stay in the plaintiff class in this class action lawsuit or not and you must decide this now. If you decide to stay in the plaintiff class in this class action lawsuit, you will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you won’t be able to sue, or continue to sue, the Modesto Inn or any other responsible parties in any other capacity. If money or benefits are obtained, you will be notified about how to get a portion of the recovery. To stay in the plaintiff class in this class action lawsuit, you do not need to do anything at this time. If you want to be excluded from the plaintiff class in this class action lawsuit, you cannot get any money or benefits from this lawsuit if any are awarded, but you will keep any rights to sue the Modesto Inn or any other responsible parties and will not be bound by any order or judgments of this Court in this class action lawsuit.
