COLE, Circuit Judge, dissenting. I dissent from the majority’s conclusion that the district court abused its discretion by finding (1) the settlement in the instant case fair, reasonable, and adequate under Rule 23; and (2) the named plaintiffs to be adequate representatives despite the incentive payments. We cannot evaluate a settlement’s fairness without “weighing the plaintiffs likelihood
