NEUMAN, Justice.

This is an appeal by the plaintiff, Alan Barkema, who was an unnamed plaintiff in previous class action litigation involving the defendants in this case, WorldCom and Williams Pipeline Company. That litigation ended with a settlement which Barkema now challenges, arguing the notices sent to plaintiff's in the previous litigation did not comport with the requirements of due process. Finding no due process violation, we affirm.
