On December 7, 2007, the Court held a telephonic status conference with counsel.

—Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §

216(b), is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. (Doc. No. 47.) The Court finds that denying the

motion and granting plaintiffs leave to file a renewed motion are appropriate in light of the

intervening developments in Cleaves et al v. Jenny Craig, et al., Los Angeles Superior Court Case
