No. CV 06-2482-PHX-SMM

ORDER

On November 6, 2008, the Court issued an Order regarding Defendants’ request

for an evidentiary hearing on class certification (Doc. 148). Defendants requested a

hearing to “take evidence from a limited number of relevant law enforcement officials

concerning the facts supporting a belief that seized transactions were involved in criminal

activity.” (Doc. 92). While the Court found that Defendants provided no arguments or

case law as to how the law enforcement officials’ testimony related to the class

certification requirements of Rule 23, the Court allowed Defendants to provide additional

briefing regarding the relevancy of the evidence as it related to the class certification

prerequisites.
