January 16, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 319 MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order. Plaintiffs have not yet met the requirements of Rule 23(a) and (b) and the court, therefore, declines to certify their proposed class at this time. Plaintiffs' motion for class certification #235 is denied without prejudice to renewal within 21 days of this order. Defendants may then respond to the renewed motion for class certification or seek a determination on the merits. The court notes, further, that although it appears Plaintiffs' claims present common questions, it may well be that some residents of the JTDC were affected by the Empire filming only briefly or in relatively insignificant ways. Moreover, as time passes, it likely will become increasingly difficult to locate and provide meaningful relief to a class of persons who were juveniles at the time of the relevant events but may well now be moving toward adulthood. For all of these reasons, the court encourages the parties to explore the possibility of settlement before incurring the expense of another round of briefing. Status set for 1/22/2020 is stricken and re-set to 2/6/2020 at 9:30 a.m. This case is referred to Magistrate Judge Kim for settlement conference. Signed by the Honorable Rebecca R.
