 Pursuant to the Court’s Order of October 25, 2007, Inna Vigdorchik 

(“Plaintiff”) and Century Theaters, Inc. (“Defendant”) hereby submit this report 

regarding the appeals pending in cases, like this one, arising under the Fair 

Credit Reporting Act and Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act, 15 U.S.C. 

§§ 1681c(g) and 1681n. The following appeals are currently pending before 

the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit: 

 1. On September 13, 2007, the Ninth Circuit granted plaintiff’s FED.

R. CIV. P. 23(f) petition for review of the Hon. R. Gary Klausner’s denial of 

class certification in the case of Soualian v. International Coffee and Tea, LLC,

No. 07-CV-00502 RGK (JCx) (C. D. Cal.). The parties agreed to a class 

settlement requiring district court approval. On March 28, 2008, the parties 

filed a Joint Motion for Conditional Certification of Settlement Class and For 

Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement in the district court. On 

March 28, 2008, the Ninth Circuit issued an order vacating the briefing 

schedule and giving the plaintiff-appellant 90 days to either move for dismissal 

of the appeal or contact the Circuit Mediator.

 2. On January 14, 2008, the Ninth Circuit granted defendant’s FED.

R. CIV. P. 23(f) petition for review of the Hon. James V. Selna’s grant of class 

certification in the case of Reynoso v. South County Concepts, Case No. CV 07-

373 JVS (C.D. Cal.), leave to appeal granted, Appellate Dkt No. 07-80191 (9th 

Cir. Jan. 14, 2008), appeal docketed, Appellate Dkt. No. 08-55079 (9th Cir.). 

A briefing schedule has been established. The appellant South County 

Concepts’ opening brief is due May 1, 2008, the appellee Reynoso’s brief is 

due on June 2, 2008, and appellant’s reply brief, if any, is due within fourteen 

days of service of the appellee’s brief. 

 3. The parties agree that the Ninth Circuit’s ruling on class 

certification in Reynoso v. South County Concepts may affect the legal 

framework of this case.

appellate review of Reynoso v. South County Concepts will conserve judicial 

and party resources, and avoid unnecessary expenditures of time, effort, and 

money. 

 5. The parties agree and submit that the stay of this action should 

remain in place.

 6. The parties agree that the status conference scheduled for April 25, 

2008, should be continued to October 24, 2008. 

 7. The parties will submit a further report to the court regarding the 

status of any related Ninth Circuit appeals on October 17, 2008, or at any 

earlier date if the status of the related Ninth Circuit appeals changes in a 

manner that warrants a further update.
