Those allegations were denied. DDA stopped operating and then filed for bankruptcy in the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (the “Bankruptcy Court”) in 2016. DDA’s bankruptcy filing stopped the FLSA Litigation. DDA’s bankruptcy trustee (the “Trustee”), the lawyers representing some of the carriers in the Texas and California cases, and others reached a preliminary agreement on behalf of their clients to resolve the issues raised in the Texas and California cases and to provide payments to carriers. They put that agreement into a plan of liquidation (the “Plan”) that provides for payments to carriers who file claims with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court before you can receive any payments. Before that happens, carriers have to vote on whether to accept or reject the Plan. This Notice explains how you can vote on the Plan and what will happen at the hearing where the Bankruptcy Court will decide whether to approve the Plan or not.
