CLUB 70

ORDER
Motion to amend, Document No. 98, granted.

Previous motion,

Document No. 97, denied as moot. The amended complaint must be filed no

later than 24 May 2012.
The amended complaint starts over with new Defendants. The Court
therefore denies without prejudice the pending Rule 23 motion for class
certification, Document No. 60. Taylor and Jenson may file an amended
motion after the new Defendants are served and make their appearances.
Given the circumstances, Taylor and Jenson are free to argue relation back or
equitable tolling in their amended motion for class certification.

Motion, Document No. 98, granted. Motion, Document No. 97, denied as
moot. Motion, Document No. 60, denied without prejudice.
So Ordered.

D.P. Marshall Jr.

United States District Judge
