ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE. CLASS CERTIFICATION AND SETTLEMENT by Judge Otis D. Wright, II: A motion for class certification has not been filed. The Court was informed a few weeks ago that a settlement has been reached, but a Notice of Settlement was not filed nor has a request for an extension of time to move for class certification.1 Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the parties TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, no later than Monday, November 17, 2014, why the parties have not moved for preliminary approval of a class settlement. No hearing will be held. This Order will be discharged upon the filing of an appropriate response, which may include a motion seeking preliminary approval of the settlement. (lc)
