JOSE GONZALES, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.

No. C 11-0900 RS
ORDER DENYING LEAVE TO SEEK
RECONSIDERATION

SIMPLEXGRINNELL LP,
Defendant.
____________________________________/

17

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-9, defendant SimplexGrinnell moves for leave to seek

18

reconsideration of the order granting class certification herein. SimplexGrinnell contends Comcast

19

Corp. v. Behrend, 133 S.Ct. 1426 (2013) and Wang v. Chinese Daily News, Inc., 709 F.3d 829 (9th

20

2013) represent new law with respect to class certification in wage cases, thereby warranting

21

reconsideration. While both decisions arguably provide further guidance on how the principles of

22

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes, 131 S. Ct. 2541 (2011) should be applied to particular factual

23

scenarios, neither represents an actual change in law or would require a different analysis or

24

outcome here. Accordingly, leave to file a reconsideration motion is denied.
