Plaintiffs,

v.

Case No. 16-cv-02135-VC

ORDER RE MOTION TO COMPEL 

HEARING

Re: Dkt. No. 6

The parties are ordered to file supplemental briefs by Monday, January 16 at 5:00 PM, 

addressing the following questions: 

1. Whether the plaintiff has adequately alleged CAFA's minimal diversity and 

amount-in-controversy requirements to establish subject-matter jurisdiction. 

2. Whether the DRA/DRRP's provisions regarding an employee's right to seek relief 

from the NLRB or EEOC grant employees any right to which they are not otherwise entitled 

under law. See EEOC v. Waffle House, Inc., 534 U.S. 279, 291-92 (2002); NLRB v. Strong, 393 

U.S. 357, 360-62 (1969); see also EEOC v. Frank's Nursery & Crafts, Inc., 177 F.3d 448, 456 

(6th Cir. 1999); EEOC v. Goodyear Aerospace Corp., 813 F.2d 1539, 1542-43 (9th Cir. 1987).

3. The effect, if any, on the enforceability of the rest of the agreement if the class 

action waiver clause of the DRA is unenforceable.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
