The Honorable Hernán D. Vera authorized this lawsuit to proceed as a class action on behalf of all persons who own a single family or townhome within the Class Area as of July 1, 2024 inside the red outline ("the Class Area") depicted on the map below, but excluding:

• anyone who purchased a single family home or townhome with disclosure of contamination at their property from the 8020 Deering Avenue Site; and
  
• Defendants' officers, directors, agents, employees, and members of their immediate families, and the judicial officers to whom this case is assigned, their staff, and the members of their immediate families.

What are my options?
