APPROXIMATELY 12,600 CLAIMS HAVE A BAD ADDRESS AND WILL BE CLOSED PERMANENTLY UNLESS THEY CONTACT THE SF-DCT ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 17, 2022

Please review the following carefully and take action if Closing Order 5 applies to you.

On June 13, 2022, the Court entered Closing Order 5. That order directs the SF-DCT to post the SID numbers of all claims where the SFDCT has deemed the claim to have a "bad address." This means that the SF-DCT has not been able to reach the claimant despite repeated attempts. Unless the claimant with a bad address contacts the SF-DCT on or before September 17, 2022, the claim will be permanently closed and barred from all future payments.

We strongly urge all claimants and law firms to review the list of SID numbers on either our website (www.tortcomm.org) or the SF-DCT website (www.sfdct.com). If you do not know your SID number, contact the SF-DCT (866-874-6099, info@sfdct.com) and check if your claim number is on the "bad address" list. If a SID number is on the list, then CLAIMANT MUST TAKE ACTION AND CONTACT THE SF-DCT IMMEDIATELY, NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 17, 2022.

For the persons on the SID list in Closing Order 5, failure to contact the SF-DCT on or before Sept. 17, 2022 will result in the permanent closure of that claim.

LAW FIRMS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

IF YOU DID NOT RESPOND TO THE COURT-MANDATED ATTORNEY AUDIT SURVEY, YOU ARE AT RISK FOR COUT SANCTIONS AND POSSIBLE REFERRAL TO YOUR STATE BAR

On April 1, 2022, the District Court entered Closing Order 4 – "Requiring Completion of Court-Directed Audit Survey And Return of Funds Pursuant to Closing Order 2." It was mandatory that law firms must return the completed Audit Survey to the SFDCT. Numerous law firms did not respond and are in violation of the District Court's Order and are at risk for sanctions and possible referral to their state's bar.

The SF-DCT mailed a second reminder letter with a final deadline of JULY 17, 2022. Again, you MUST respond to the attorney audit survey. It is a single page survey with 3 questions. All questions must be answered, and the form must be signed under penalty of perjury. If you are unsure on how to respond or have questions, you must contact the SF-DCT on or before July 17, 2022. SF-DCT contact info: 866-874-6099, info@sfdct.com.
