The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued its opinion in Biden v. Nebraska in which it ruled that President Biden’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt per borrower under the CARES Act was beyond his constitutional authority. NACBA is disappointed in the Court’s decision as the plan would have afforded broad relief to millions of borrowers who are struggling under historic amounts of student loan debt. The Administration is currently reviewing alternative means to achieve the same end, but for now, blanket forgiveness of student loan debt is not available.

Nonprofit groups filed this lawsuit against the United States, claiming that the government has unlawfully charged PACER users more than necessary to cover the cost of providing public access to federal court records. The lawsuit, National Veterans Legal Services Program, et al. v. United States, Case No. 1:16-cv-00745-PLF, is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. This notice is to inform you that the parties have decided to settle the case for $125,000,000. This amount is referred to as the common fund. The settlement has been preliminarily approved by the Court.
Why am I receiving this notice? You are receiving this notice because you may have paid PACER fees between April 21, 2010, and May 31, 2018. This notice explains that the parties have entered into a proposed class action settlement that may affect you. You may have legal rights and options that you may exercise before the Court decides to grant final approval of the settlement.
What is this lawsuit about? The lawsuit alleges that federal courts have been charging unlawfully excessive PACER fees. It alleges that Congress has authorized the federal courts to charge PACER fees only to the extent necessary to cover the costs of providing public access to federal court records, and that the fees for use of PACER exceed its costs. The lawsuit further alleges that the excess PACER fees have been used to pay for projects unrelated to PACER. The government denies these claims and contends that the fees are lawful. The parties have agreed to settle.
Who represents me? The Court has appointed Gupta Wessler PLLC and Motley Rice LLC to represent the Class as Class Counsel. You do not have to pay Class Counsel or anyone else in order to participate. Class Counsel's fees and expenses will be deducted from the common settlement fund. You may hire your own attorney, if you wish, at your own expense.
What are my options?
