MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION

The parties state in the JSR that “[t]o date, [they] 

are unable to reach an agreement regarding the deadline and 

briefing schedule for [Plaintiff’s] motion for class 

certification.” (JSR 4:22-23, ECF No. 10.) Each side has proposed

a different briefing schedule. 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(c)(1) prescribes 

“the court must determine by order whether to certify the action 

as a class action” at “an early practicable time.” Therefore the 

following schedule issues: The motion for class certification 

shall be filed no later than September 28, 2015; an opposition or 

statement of non-opposition to the motion shall be filed no later 

than November 2, 2015; and any reply shall be filed no later than 

November 16, 2015. The hearing on the motion shall be noticed for 

November 30, 2015, at 9:00 a.m.

SCHEDULING FURTHER STATUS REPORT

A further Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference is 

scheduled to commence at 9:00 a.m. on January 19, 2016. A joint

status report shall be filed no later than fourteen (14) days 

prior to the status conference.

Dated: April 14, 2015
