IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS BARBARA J. HOUSER, et al., on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant.

Case No. 13-607C Judge Bruggink

STIPULATED CLASS JUDGMENT

Pursuant to the Court’s opinion of September 30, 2013, granting the plaintiffs’ motion for

summary judgment, and the stipulation of the parties,

IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED, under Rule 58, that the plaintiffs are entitled to

back pay for the denial of their full statutorily mandated salaries, annuities, and salary-based

benefits during the six years prior to the filing of this action, taking account of the applicable

withholdings, consistent with this Court’s opinion. In addition, to the extent that it has not

already done so, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AO) is directed under 28

U.S.C. § 1491(a)(2) to reflect in the plaintiffs’ pay records the full statutorily required

compensation so that it is based on 92% of the properly calculated salary of a district judge, as

mandated by 28 U.S.C. § 153(a).

1. Judgment is hereby ENTERED in favor of the class and against the United States

as to liability. As to damages, judgment for net back pay is ENTERED in favor of each named

plaintiff as follows, and shall be reduced for attorneys’ fees as determined by this Court:

Judge Barbara J. Houser $89,074.92

Judge David Stewart Kennedy $87,287.06

Judge Elizabeth L. Perris $88,946.34

Judge Eugene R. Wedoff $86,265.40

Judge Charles G. Case II $87,240.36

Judge David W. Houston III $89,881.49

Judge A. Thomas Small $86,963.41

Judge Philip H. Brandt $88,498.27

Judge James M. Marlar $87,479.32

Judge Robert D. Martin $91,130.31

Estate of Judge Nancy C. Dreher $73,210.90

Roger Dreher $6,027.93

These net back-pay amounts include the applicable deductions for federal income taxes (28%);

Medicare taxes (1.45%); contributions to the Judicial Survivors’ Annuities System (2.2% or

3.5%); contributions to the Judicial Retirement System; contributions to the Federal Employees

Retirement System; and contributions to the Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance (FEGLI)

program. In addition to net back pay, four named plaintiffs shall also receive contributions to

their Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) accounts as follows: $6,385.30 for Judges Houser, Perris, and

Wedoff; and $5,119.03 for Judge Marlar. The calculations used to generate the net back-pay

amounts, including the gross back-pay amounts from which the applicable deductions were

made, as well as the applicable TSP contributions, are attached as Exhibits A through D.

2. The AO is directed to reflect in the named plaintiffs’ pay records the following

amounts: a current annual salary of $183,172 for Judges Houser, Kennedy, Perris, and Wedoff; a

current retirement annuity of $183,172 for Judges Case, Small, Brandt, Marlar, and Martin; a

current retirement annuity of $181,332 for Judge Houston; and a current survivor annuity of

$65,309 for Mr. Dreher. The AO is further directed to reflect in Judge Dreher’s life-insurance

claim form, to be submitted to MetLife under the FEGLI system, an annual salary of $181,332 at

the time of Judge Dreher’s death on November 23, 2012.

3. The United States shall satisfy this judgment as to the remaining class members

through a class claims process, as described in paragraph 14, to be made available to all

individuals who have opted into the class. A list of these individuals is attached as Exhibit E. It

includes the following categories of class members:

(1) Currently serving active bankruptcy judges;

(2) Currently serving recalled bankruptcy judges;

(3) Former bankruptcy judges who served at any time on or after August 23, 2007, and who are not currently serving in recalled status;

(4) Surviving spouses and surviving dependent children of any bankruptcy judge who

served at any time on or after August 23, 2007;

(5) Beneficiaries who have received a FEGLI payment under a FEGLI policy of any bankruptcy judge who has served at any time on or after August 23, 2007;

(6) The executors of any estate of someone described above;

(7) Former bankruptcy judges who served at any time from 1995 to August 23, 2007, and

who received a payment related to that service (such as a salary or annuity) at any time on or after August 23, 2007;

(8) Surviving spouses and surviving dependent children of anyone described in category

seven; and

(9) The executors of any estate of anyone described in category seven or eight.

4. For each category, the United States shall process the claims of class members’

back pay and other retroactive relief by calculating 100% of the amounts due, minus any

reduction for attorneys’ fees as determined by this Court. The gross back-pay calculations shall

be based on the following allowable annual salaries for active bankruptcy judges: $169,556.00 for

2007; $173,788.00 for 2008; $178,664.00 for 2009; $181,332.00 for 2010; $181,332.00 for 2011;

$181,332.00 for 2012; and $181,332.00 for 2013. The net back-pay amounts shall include any

applicable deductions from the gross back-pay amounts for federal income taxes (28%); Medicare

taxes (1.45%); contributions to the Judicial Survivors’ Annuities System (2.2% or 3.5%);

contributions to the Judicial Retirement System; and FEGLI contributions, as set forth below

and in Exhibits A through D. The additional TSP contributions, if applicable, shall be calculated

using the same methodology as was employed in arriving at the TSP-contribution amounts for

Judges Houser, Perris, Wedoff, and Marlar, as set forth in Exhibits A and B, and shall be

deposited into the TSP accounts.

5. Category #1: The recoveries for current active bankruptcy judges shall be

calculated using the same methodology as was employed in arriving at the judgment amounts for

Judges Houser, Kennedy, Perris, and Wedoff, set forth in Exhibit A.

6. Category #2: The recoveries for recalled bankruptcy judges shall be calculated

using the same methodology as was employed in arriving at the judgment amounts for Judges

Small, Brandt, Marlar, and Martin, set forth in Exhibit B.

7. Category #3: The recoveries for former bankruptcy judges who served at any

time on or after August 23, 2007, shall be calculated using the same methodology as was

employed in arriving at the judgment amounts for Judges Case and Houston, set forth in Exhibit

C.

8. Category #4: The recoveries for surviving spouses and dependent children of

any bankruptcy judge who served at any time on or after August 23, 2007, shall be calculated

using the same methodology as was employed in arriving at the judgment amount for Mr.

Dreher, set forth in Exhibit D.

9. Category #5: The recoveries for FEGLI beneficiaries of any bankruptcy judge

who has served at any time on or after August 23, 2007, shall be calculated using the same

methodology as was employed in arriving at the FEGLI amount for Mr. Dreher, set forth in

Exhibit D. For class members in this category, the AO shall reflect in the life-insurance claim

Page 7: Gupta Wessler PLLC - IN THE UNITED STATES …guptawessler.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Motion-to...Deepak Gupta Brian Wolfman Jonathan E. Taylor GUPTA BECK PLLC 1735 20th Street,

forms the deceased judges’ correct annual salaries, consistent with this Court’s opinion, and

submit the forms to MetLife for payment.

10. Category #6: The recoveries for any estate of someone in the first five categories

shall be calculated using the same methodology as was employed in arriving at the judgment

amount for the estate of Judge Dreher, set forth in Exhibit D.

11. Category #7: The recoveries for former bankruptcy judges who served at any

time from 1995 to August 23, 2007, and who received a payment related to that service at any

time on or after August 23, 2007, shall be calculated using the same methodology as was

employed in arriving at the judgment amount for Judges Small, Brandt, Marlar, and Martin, set

forth in Exhibit B, except that the judges in this category shall have their recoveries calculated

through September 30, 2014, rather than December 9, 2013.

12. Category #8: The recoveries for surviving spouses and dependent children of

anyone described in category seven shall be calculated using the same methodology as was

employed in arriving at the judgment amount for Mr. Dreher, set forth in Exhibit D.

13. Category #9: The recoveries for the estate of anyone described in category

seven or eight shall be calculated using the same methodology as was employed in arriving at the

judgment amount for the estate of Judge Dreher, set forth in Exhibit D.

14. The United States shall provide each class member, within 21 days of the entry of

the Court’s order on the motion for attorneys’ fees, an opportunity to review his or her net back-

pay calculations and execute a release from liability for any claim against the United States

arising out of its failure to properly pay bankruptcy judges from 1995 until the present. The

amounts paid to class members may be adjusted upon consent of the parties to account for any

errors or unforeseen circumstances. This Court hereby retains jurisdiction to resolve any disputes

that might arise out of this class claims process.

15. The plaintiffs have filed a motion seeking an attorneys’ fee award under the

common-fund doctrine and, in part, from the United States under the Equal Access to Justice

Act (EAJA). The motion also seeks $15,382.50 in expenses and $350 in costs from the United

States. The United States stipulates that it will not appeal this judgment, which is therefore a final

judgment for purposes of EAJA upon its entry. The plaintiffs’ fee motion is deemed to be filed

after the entry of this judgment, and the Court’s ruling on the plaintiffs’ fee motion will be

entered following the entry of this judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
