ANGELA BADAMI, ET AL.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGNS, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 07-03465 JSW

NOTICE OF TENTATIVE

RULING AND QUESTIONS

TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD, PLEASE TAKE

NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING TENTATIVE RULING AND QUESTIONS FOR THE

HEARING SCHEDULED ON MARCH 7, 2007 AT 9:00 A.M.:

The Court has reviewed the parties’ papers and, thus, does not wish to hear the parties

reargue matters addressed in those pleadings. If the parties intend to rely on authorities not

cited in their briefs, they are ORDERED to notify the Court and opposing counsel of these

authorities reasonably in advance of the hearing and to make copies available at the hearing. If

the parties submit such additional authorities, they are ORDERED to submit the citations to the

authorities only, with reference to pin cites and without argument or additional briefing. Cf.

N.D. Civil Local Rule 7-3(d). The parties will be given the opportunity at oral argument to

explain their reliance on such authority.

The Court tentatively GRANTS the motion for order provisionally certifying

settlement classes; preliminarily approving class action settlement and plan of distribution;

directing distribution of notice of the settlement; and setting a schedule for the final settlement

approval process.

The parties shall each have 10 minutes to address the following questions:

1. Although the motion for certification and approval was filed jointly and remains

unopposed, does any party oppose the pending motions?

2. The motion alludes to the treatment of Opt Ins (defined as “people who filed (or will

file) valid Consents to Join prior to the date of preliminary approval (but who are not

already members of any subclasses included in the Settlement).”) (Motion at 4; see also

Proposed Order at ¶ 17.) Have there been any Opt Ins since the time the parties

submitted their motion? How are the Opts going to be treated?

3. Do the parties have any further they wish to address?

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 4, 2008
