Plaintiffs,

v.

FEDEX KINKO’S OFFICE AND PRINT

/ 

Case No. C 06-07657-SI

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT

PREJUDICE PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION

FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION

On October 12, 2007 the Court heard argument on plaintiffs’ motion to certify a nationwide class

in this case arising under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. After plaintiffs filed their

motion for certification, the Ninth Circuit accepted review of an interlocutory appeal of an order denying

class certification in another FACTA case. See Soualian v. International Coffee and Tea LLC, Case No.

07-502-RGK (Jcx) (C.D. Cal. filed June 11, 2007). As stated at the hearing, the Court is inclined to

deny plaintiffs’ motion for reasons similar to those in the ten Central District of California cases that

have denied class certification in similar FACTA cases. See Frederick Najarian v. Avis Rent A Car,

Case No. 07-588-RGK (Ex) (C.D. Cal. filed June 11, 2007) (order denying class certification); Frida

Najarian v. Charlotte Russe, Inc., Case No. 07-501-RGK (Ctx) (C.D. Cal. filed June 12, 2007) (same);

Soualian v. International Coffee and Tea LLC, Case No. 07-502-RGK (Jcx) (C.D. Cal. filed June 11,

2007) (same); Torossian v. Vitamin Shoppe Industries; Case No. 07-532-ODW (Ssx) (C.D. Cal. filed

August 6, 2007) (same); Evans v. U-Haul Co. of California, Case No. 07-2097-JFW (Jcx) (C.D. Cal.

filed August 14, 2007) (same); Spikings v. Cost Plus, Inc., Case No. 06-8125-JFW (AJWx) (C.D. Cal.

July 17, 2007) (same); Papazian v. Burberry Ltd., Case No. 07-1479-GPS (Rzx) (C.D. Cal. filed August

3, 2007) (same); Medrano v. Modern Parking, Inc., Case No. 07-2949 PA (AGRx) (C.D. Cal. filed

(C.D. Cal. filed October 9, 2007) (same). In light of the Ninth Circuit’s review of Soualian, the Court

finds it prudent to DENY plaintiffs’ motion WITHOUT PREJUDICE to renewal after Soualian is

decided (Docket No. 87).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
