On August 6, 2015, this Court will hear oral argument on Plaintiffs’ pending motion for class
15
certification. Docket No. 276. In their briefs (and particularly across numerous footnotes), counsel
16
for Plaintiffs suggests that this Court could certify subclasses if it decides not to certify the broader
17
class Plaintiffs seek. Counsel also suggests (as an alternative to total certification) that the Court
18
could certify a liability-only class (or, possibly, various liability-only subclasses), leaving damages
19
determinations to be made at some later date.
20
Plaintiffs shall be prepared to discuss in detail specifically what subclasses it believes are
21
certifiable and why.1 Relatedly, Plaintiffs shall be prepared to discuss in detail specifically how they
22
propose any class (or subclass) action could be tried. Finally, Plaintiffs shall be prepared to discuss
