Estimate from the catalog — not a promise. The official notice controls the amount, if any.

Pro rata cash from a $28,000,000 Distribution Amount; each claimant's share is the number of times they were strip searched (upon arrival at Manhattan Court Division after already being strip searched before leaving Rikers) divided by the total such searches by all claimants. Attorneys' fees, service awards, and administrative costs are NOT deducted from the $28,000,000.
