Wilson v. USA

Filing 30

Regarding ORDER for Stay by Judge John L. Kane on 07/11/13. (jjhsl, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 1:12-cv-03083-JLK
MARNIA WILSON and JACOB ATES,
Plaintiffs,
vs.
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant.
Regarding Order for Stay
Kane, J.
Based on my reading of the Stringer class certification hearing transcript, Doc. 62 in
1:11-cv-02584, though Judge Matsch declined to certify a class at the time of the hearing, he left
open the option of future certification. Rather than foreclosing a ruling that this matter is
appropriate to proceed as a class action, the transcript indicates that the purpose of designating
two test plaintiffs is to provide Judge Matsch with more evidence that may ultimately persuade
him to certify a class. I express no opinion whether I think Judge Matsch will or should certify; I
am merely staying the above captioned matter until such a time as the prospect of certification at
a later date becomes clear.
