IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES E. WARD, individually, and on

behalf of all others similarly situated,

Plaintiff,

 v.

UNITED AIRLINES, INC., and DOES 1

through 50, inclusive,

Defendants. /

No. C 15-02309 WHA

ORDER DENYING

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO

AMEND THE CLASS

DEFINITION

The Court granted plaintiff’s motion for class certification and certified a class that

included individuals that worked for United up through the date of the complaint. Plaintiffs

request that the Court amend the class definition to extend to the date of the final judgment to

“have the class period ending date move forward in time, day after day, until either final

judgment or up until the time the format of the wage statements are corrected” (Dkt. No. 45

at 2). Defendants do not oppose plaintiff’s motion to the extent the termination date was a

clerical error, but does not stipulate to the proposed modification (Dkt. No. 46).

The Court intended the class period to end on the date plaintiff filed the complaint. 

Plaintiff’s proposal to amend the class period to remain open as the case progresses,

encompassing each new hire and resulting in rolling damages calculation is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 12, 2016. WILLIAM ALSUP
