UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JEANNETTE COOKS et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

TNG GP et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16–CV–01160-KJM-AC 

No. 2:16–CV–02113-KJM-AC 

ORDER 

 

 The court heard oral argument on plaintiffs’ motion for provisional certification of 

a class and preliminary approval of a class settlement on February 7, 2020. The operative 

complaint identifies several subclasses. See First Am. Compl., ECF No. 45 ¶ 22. At hearing, 

plaintiffs’ counsel represented that the plaintiffs did not seek certification of separate subclasses 

for settlement purposes. On reflection and review of the record, the court now ORDERS 

plaintiffs to submit supplemental briefing of no more than ten pages on the question of 

commonality of putative class members as a single class in relation to the subclasses proposed in 

the operative complaint. 

DATED: March 10, 2020.
