IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM HELM, ET AL.

Plaintiffs,

 v.

ALDERWOODS GROUP, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 08-01184 SI

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A

MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 

Plaintiffs have filed a motion for leave to file a motion for reconsideration of the Court’s March

9, 2011 order denying plaintiffs’ renewed motion for class certification. Contrary to plaintiffs’

assertions, the Court did not fail to consider material facts with regard to numerosity and the community

work class. With regard to the on-call class, the Court considered plaintiffs’ interpretation of the payroll

records, but determined that the records do not speak for themselves. Finally, with regard to the meal

break class, the Court considered both of plaintiffs’ theories. The fact that some employees received

a 1-hour meal break is certainly relevant, as those employees are included in plaintiffs’ proposed class

definition. The Court notes that the class definitions in this case were often a moving target, and that

a motion for leave to file a motion for reconsideration of the denial of a renewed motion for class

certification is not the time to request that the Court redefine a subclass. Accordingly, the Court

DENIES plaintiff’s motion. (Docket No. 300).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
