   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-2015
                          and No:  16-2113
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Class Actions. In class action alleging defendant failed to 
   disclose free alternatives to re-download Norton ant-virus software, the 
   district court approved a settlement for the consumer class under which 
   defendant would pay $60 million into the total settlement fund; the 
   district court did not have to wait for a final accounting of 
   administrative costs before approving the settlement and it did not err in 
   approving the settlement based on the settlement administrator's estimate 
   of the costs and the amount each class member would receive; in 
   determining the amount of attorneys' fees, the district court did not 
   abuse its discretion by using the percentage-of-the-benefit method or by 
   awarding the attorneys one-third of the total settlement fund; Electronic 
   Frontier Foundation, a global nonprofit dedicated to defending consumer 
   liberties in a digital world, was an appropriate cy pres recipient and the 
   terms of the award which provide that any minimal remaining funds be 
   distributed to the Foundation was not an abuse of the court's discretion; 
   service award of $10,000 to two named plaintiffs was not an abuse of the 
   court's discretion.
