B. Paul, Esq., hereby submit this stipulation to strike, all class action allegations set forth

8

in the Second Amended Complaint. (Doc. No. 22.)
Striking of the class action allegations is proper under Federal Rules of Civil

9
10

Procedure, Rule 12(f) because no motion for class certification has been or will be filed,

11

and no substantive issues have been litigated or determined. See Manning v. Boston Med.

12

Ctr. Corp. 725 F.3d 34, 59 (1st Cir. 2013) “If it is obvious from the pleadings that the

13

proceeding cannot possibly move forward on a classwide basis, district courts use their

14

authority under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(f) to delete the complaint’s class

15

allegations.” This matter should proceed solely upon the claims of the four individual

16

Plaintiffs Armando Osegueda, Robert Palomino, David Lomeli, and Jairo Hernandez as

17

outlined in the District Court’s order of April 11, 2017.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
