FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiffs,

v

Defendant. /

No C 05-0620 VRW

ORDER

This putative class action alleges violations of various

wage and hour laws based on defendant’s treatment of plaintiffs as

independent contractors rather than employees. On May 3, 2005, the

court denied defendant’s motion to remand to state court and

certified its order for interlocutory review. Doc #23. Defendant

timely appealed. Doc #31. While that issue was on appeal, the

case moved forward, and on June 6, 2006, the court provisionally

certified a damages class under FRCP 23(b)(3). Doc #59. The court

denied defendant’s motion for reconsideration (see Doc #76), and

the court of appeals denied defendant’s petition to appeal the June

6 order (see Doc #78). On December 12, 2007, the court of appeals

affirmed the denial of remand. Doc #80. 

The court of appeals’ judgment was the last filing in

this case. Accordingly the court ORDERS the parties to submit a

written status report by March 31, 2008. In the alternative, the

parties may report to the court for a status conference on such

date that the parties may arrange with each other and the court’s

deputy, Cora Delfin, who may be reached at (415) 522-2039.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
