March 27, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 107 (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TAKING PLAINTIFF AND CERTIFIED CLASS' MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF CLASS NOTICE UNDER SUBMISSION (DKT. 92) by Judge John A Kronstadt: The Court has reviewed the parties' respective submissions with respect to Plaintiffs' Motion for Approval of Class Notice (the "Motion"). Dkt. 92. Because the issues presented concern the appropriate language, based on the Court's prior rulings, to be used in numerous portions of the Notice, the Court has determined that this matter is one that may, and should be, addressed without a hearing. Local Rule 7-15. Thus, the resolution of the disputes involves careful editing of the disputed language. Given that the parties' competing positions are well stated in their respective filings, a hearing is not required to undertake and complete the editing process and, therefore, the Court takes the Motion UNDER SUBMISSION. The Court is also aware of the parties' present dispute with respect to whether certain depositions may be taken at this time. That matter is presently before Judge Hillman. The Court was advised that the parties may have sought to raise that issue with the Court at the March 31, 2014, hearing on the Motion. Because that hearing will not proceed, the parties shall confer again with Judge Hillman to seek to resolve their dispute over depositions. If they cannot do so, the matter will be submitted to Judge Hillman for decision. cc: Judge Hillman #92 THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (ake) TEXT ONLY ENTRY
