On reconsideration, the Court has vacated its prior order on defendants’ motion to

20

compel arbitration, strike class action claims, and stay proceedings, and issued an amended

21

order, removing the language striking plaintiff Paula Blair’s class action claims (Dkt. No. 82).

22

Issues regarding class action claims will be decided at the class certification hearing. The

23

defendants shall brief this issue as part of any opposition to class certification. Plaintiffs will

24

have an opportunity to address these claims in their reply.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
