How later courts describe this case

  • “[t]he proper inquiry is whether [class counsel] acted reasonably in selecting means likely to inform persons affected, not whether each [class member] actually received notice”
  • "The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that notice by firstclass mail is sufficient, notwithstanding the Court’s obvious awareness that not every first-class letter is received by the addressee.”
