U.S. Judge James Selna granted preliminary approval to automaker's settlement of a class-action lawsuit brought by consumers who lost value on their cars due to unintended acceleration.
Apple won a $1.05 bln verdict earlier this year, but has failed to secure a permanent sales ban against the Korean company's several, mostly older models.
California's governor had earlier signed the ban into law, making it the first state in the country to ban therapy designed to reverse homosexuality.
The 9th Circuit appeals court, however, also ruled that the bank violated part of California's unfair competition law and sent the case back to trial court.
