IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE CLASS, WHICH IS DESCRIBED BELOW, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THIS NOTICE BECAUSE IT WILL AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS. THIS COURT-ORDERED NOTICE IS NOT AN EXPRESSION OF ANY OPINION BY THE COURT AS TO THE MERITS OF ANY OF THE CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTED BY EITHER SIDE IN THIS LITIGATION. THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE IS TO INFORM YOU OF THE LAWSUIT SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION AS TO WHETHER YOU SHOULD REMAIN IN OR OPT OUT OF THIS CLASS ACTION.

BACKGROUND OF CASE

The Plaintiffs in this lawsuit are three former dancers at the Gold Club, who performed under the stage names “Grace,” “Kili” and “Debra.” The Plaintiffs sued Defendants SOLID GOLD, INC., TOP SHELF ENTERTAINMENT, INC., and GOLD CLUB – SF, LLC. At the Plaintiffs’ request, the Court authorized this lawsuit to proceed as a class action and appointed the Plaintiffs to act as the Class Representatives on behalf of all dancers who worked at the Gold Club from May 24, 2000 until February 18, 2004. This group of dancers is known as the Class or the Class Plaintiffs. The Court also appointed the attorneys listed below as Class counsel to provide legal representation to each Class member.

The Class alleges that Defendants violated California law by treating Class members as independent contractors, when those persons were in fact employees of one or more of the Defendants. Defendants deny the Class’ allegations and assert that Class members were properly treated as independent contractors, not employees. The Court has not yet ruled whether Class members were independent contractors or employees.
If the Class is successful in this action, all of the persons who are members of the Class may be entitled to receive a monetary recovery.

DEFINITION OF CLASS
