UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On August 24, 2016, the plaintiff notified the Court that “the parties reached an agreement on 

the material terms of a class action settlement.” (Doc. 8) He reports that the parties will file a 

stipulation of dismissal within 60 days. The notice fails to detail whether the settlement seeks to 

resolve the issues of the class or only of the representative plaintiff. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

1. In the event the settlement purports to settle the action as to the class, the motion for 

preliminary class certification SHALL be filed no later than October 21, 2016;

2. In the event, the settlement purports to settle only the clams of the representative 

plaintiff, the stipulation settling and dismissing the matter SHALL be filed no later than October 21, 

2016. The stipulation SHALL set forth facts upon which the Court may determine whether the 

representative plaintiff has fulfilled his fiduciary duty to the absent class and to ensure the compromise 

is not collusive or prejudicial to the absent class members. Diaz v. Trust Territory of Pacific Islands,

In ordering the stipulation to provide this additional information, the Court does not determine that the 2003 amendment 

to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(e) has not overruled Diaz. However, in the absence of instruction by the Ninth Circuit and the 

ongoing requirement by other courts to require conditional certification, the Court will require this additional information.
