March 19, 2020 Filing 10 MANDATE ISSUED.(WCC, RMG and PJW) [11635437] (RR) [Entered: 03/19/2020 01:42 PM]
February 26, 2020 Filing 9 Filed order (WILLIAM C. CANBY, RONALD M. GOULD and PAUL J. WATFORD) : A review of the record demonstrates that this court lacks jurisdiction over these appeals because the orders challenged in the appeals are not appealable under 28 U.S.C. 1292(a)(1). See Gon v. First State Ins. Co., 871 F.2d 863, 865 (9th Cir. 1989) (an order by a court that regulates the conduct of the litigation . . . is not considered an injunction for purposes of appellate jurisdiction.); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(d) (in conducting a class action the district court may issue orders governing notice provided to class members); Wang v. Chinese Daily News, Inc., 623 F.3d 743, 756 (9th Cir. 2010) (Rule 23(d) gives district courts the power to regulate the notice and opt-out processes and to impose limitations when a party engages in behavior that threatens the fairness of the litigation), vacated on other grounds, 565 U.S. 801 (2011). Consequently, these appeals are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. DISMISSED. [11610287] [19-36091, 20-35042] (RT) [Entered: 02/26/2020 04:22 PM]

January 24, 2020 Filing 4 Filed clerk order (Deputy Clerk: MN): A review of the record suggests that this court may lack jurisdiction to review the district courts order regulating communications with putative class members pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(d) because an order that relates to the conduct or progress of litigation before the district court generally is not appealable under 28 U.S.C. 1292(a)(1). See Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. v. Mayacamas Corp., 485 U.S. 271, 279 (1988); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(d) (in conducting a class action the district court may issue orders governing notice provided to class members); Wang v. Chinese Daily News, Inc., 623 F.3d 743, 756 (9th Cir. 2010) (Rule 23(d) gives district courts the power to regulate the notice and opt-out processes and to impose limitations when a party engages in behavior that threatens the fairness of the litigation), vacated on other grounds, 565 U.S. 801 (2011). Within 10 days after the date of this order, appellants shall move for voluntary dismissal of the appeals or show cause why the appeals should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. If appellants elect to show cause, responses may be filed within 5 days after service of the memorandum. If appellants do not comply with this order, the Clerk shall dismiss these appeals pursuant to Ninth Circuit Rule 42-1. Briefing is suspended pending further order of the court.
