"The Batton plaintiffs filed a motion to intervene in the Tuccori lawsuit and a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to block Anywhere Real Estate from obtaining preliminary approval for the settlement the firm negotiated in the Tuccori suit via the opt-in mechanism."
"Anywhere argues that the Batton plaintiffs' counsel is trying to insert itself into the Tuccori lawsuit and settlements so they can obtain fees from any resulting settlements and gain leverage over the preliminarily approved class settlement."
"In its memorandum, Anywhere asserts that this is not an example of a case where a court would benefit from the appointment of interim class counsel for improved coordination among multiple sets of attorneys."
The Batton plaintiffs have attempted to intervene in the Tuccori lawsuit's settlement process, filing motions to block Anywhere Real Estate's approval of the settlement. Recent court rulings denied their motions, but the Batton plaintiffs persist in seeking intervention. Anywhere Real Estate has objected to the appointment of Tuccori plaintiffs' attorneys as co-lead counsel in the Batton lawsuit, arguing that the Batton plaintiffs' counsel aims to gain leverage and fees from the settlements. Anywhere contends that combining the lawsuits is inappropriate due to ongoing settlement proceedings.
