P. 23(a)(1)-(4), and (ii) the matters at Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b); (b) that defines the proposed class; and (c) that requests the appointment of class counsel; 2. That a response and any reply SHALL BE FILED in the time and manner prescribed by D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1C.; 3. That an applicant for class counsel SHALL ADDRESS the matters at Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(g)(1)(A)(i)-(iv) and any other matter pertinent to the applicant’s ability to fairly and adequately represent the interests of the proposed class; and 4. That based on the parties’ submissions, the court WILL either rule on the papers, order further briefing, convene an evidentiary hearing, or take such further action as the court in its discretion deems proper and necessary.
