IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LA COLLINA DAL LAGO, L.P., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

PACIFIC BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY, et

al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 08-2451 SI

Related Case No. C 06-247 SI

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT

PREJUDICE PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION

FOR APPROVAL OF THEIR WAIVER

OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF

INTEREST

Plaintiffs have filed a motion for judicial “approval” of their waiver of potential conflicts of

interest. The Court held a hearing on the motion on June 27, 2008, and has reviewed plaintiffs’ in

camera submission provided at the hearing. Plaintiffs request that the Court affirmatively approve

conflict waivers signed by the plaintiff in Jensen and the named plaintiffs in La Collina, in order that

counsel for Jensen may proceed as co-counsel representing the La Collina plaintiffs. While the Court

appreciates counsels’ conscientiousness in filing the motion, the Court finds that it is premature to

evaluate the issues, including factual issues, raised by the motion. The Court will revisit this matter in

connection with a motion for class certification in La Collina. Accordingly, the Court DENIES

plaintiffs’ motion for “approval” of their conflict waiver without prejudice to consideration of these

issues at the time the Court analyzes the propriety of class certification. (Docket No. 8 in 08-2451 SI).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
