Text: 8 On May 3, 2000, Johnson, Jones, and seven other John Does filed a second class-action complaint that contained the same allegations as in Guy. (This action, Doe v. LFUCG, No. 00-166-KSF, is hereinafter referred to as Doe I. ) Doe I was settled some two years later, on June 28, 2002. The district court again failed to provide any notice to putative class members when the parties settled, and the case was dismissed. No one, however, requested that notice be provided, and there is nothing in the record to demonstrate that the district court even considered the applicability of Rule 23(e). Johnson, Jones, and LFUCG subsequently filed a joint motion to dismiss Johnson's and Jones's outstanding appeal in Guy. The motion was granted by this court in January of 2003.
