Certification, no authority is cited. The temporal scope of the

proposed classes is relevant to the "numerosity" requirement of

Plaintiff/Intervenors are ordered to file a supplemental

reply brief addressing the merits of defendant's opposition to

the extent it challenges the temporal scope of the proposed

classes. The supplemental reply brief shall be filed on or

before Monday, November 27, 2006.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
