IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRIAN BENITEZ, et al.

Plaintiffs,

 v.

DON MONTOYA, et al.

Defendants.

 /

No. C 03-00392 JSW

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT

PREJUDICE MOTION TO

CERTIFY CLASS AND MOTION

TO DISMISS

Currently pending before the Court are Plaintiffs’ motion to certify this case as a class

action and the Fremont Defendants’ motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs have now settled with many,

but not all, of the Defendants and are continuing to explore settlement with the Fremont

Defendants. The parties previously have requested continuances of the briefing schedule and

hearings on these motions. 

Accordingly, at this time, the Court shall DENY the pending motions WITHOUT

PREJUDICE to renewing them in the event the settlement discussions fail. The parties need not

re-file the briefing that already has been filed with the Court. Rather, they shall simply file

notices stating their intent to renew their respective motions, notice the matters for a hearing,

and stipulate to a briefing schedule for the filing of the remaining briefs.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 22, 2005
