ORDER VACATING HEARING
ON CLASS CERTIFICATION
AND PRELIMINARY
SETTLEMENT APPROVAL
AND VACATING CASE
MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

This matter comes before the Court on the parties’ joint motion for certification of a
settlement class, preliminary approval of a class action settlement, and approval of the form
and manner of notice to the class. On November 14, 2012, Defendants submitted written
responses to the Court’s questions dated October 4, 2012.1
After careful consideration of the parties’ submissions, the Court finds that oral
argument is not necessary and will not aid in the disposition of this case. Accordingly, it
VACATES the hearing on the motion, as well as the Case Management Conference,
scheduled for November 19, 2012. An order on the motion will be forthcoming.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 11/15/12
