During the hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification on April 5 and in a follow-up
Order dated April 11, 2011, the Court informed the parties that it intended to await the United States
Supreme Court’s decision in Wal-Mart Stores v. Dukes, or until the end of the Supreme Court’s
current term, before ruling on the class certification motion. On June 20, 2011, the Supreme Court
issued its Order in Wal-Mart Stores v. Dukes, and held that the class in that case was not consistent
with Rule 23(a) and should not have been certified, and the respondents’ backpay claims were also
improperly certified under Rule 23(b)(2). The parties are hereby Ordered to submit supplemental
briefs addressing the impact, if any, of the Dukes decision on their previous arguments on class
certification. The supplemental briefs shall be filed by July 6, 2011.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 22, 2011
ELIZABETH D. LAPORTE
United States Magistrate Judge
