ORDER

15
16

This is a putative class action, which was removed from state

17

court on June 12, 2012. The parties filed separate Status Reports on

18

September 17, 2012, and September 18, 2012, in which they present

19

different proposed schedules. (ECF Nos. 24, 28.)

20

The parties’ proposals for seeking class certification are

21

impracticable in light of the length of time that this action has been

22

pending and the Court’s obligation to “determine by order whether to

23

certify the action as a class action” at “an early practicable time[.]”

24

Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(c)(1). Therefore, Plaintiffs shall file a motion for

25

class certification on or before March 18, 2013. The motion shall be

26

noticed for hearing on the earliest available regularly scheduled law

27

and motion hearing date.

Further, the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference set for

the status conference.
