June 21, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 68 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on #67 denying without prejudice #63 Motion to Certify Class; denying #66 Letter Motion for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply re #63 MOTION to Certify Class Motion for Conditional Collective Certification., #66 LETTER MOTION for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply as to #63 MOTION to Certify Class Motion for Conditional Collective Certification. and requesting that the Court deny Plaintiff's Motion for Conditional Certification< ENDORSEMENT: The Court is in receipt of Defendants' letter motion dated June 17, 2021 (Dkt. #66), requesting that the Court deny Plaintiff's pending motion for conditional collective certification (Dkt. #63), as well as Plaintiff's above reply to Defendants' letter (Dkt. #67). The Court deems it prudent to resolve Defendants' anticipated motion for judgment on the pleadings, which may be dispositive of the matter, before taking up the issue of collective certification. Accordingly, the Court again concludes that Plaintiff's motion is premature. The Court is mindful of the concerns Plaintiff raises regarding the running of the statute of limitations for potential opt-in members, but notes Plaintiff's ability to request, and the Court's authority to grant, equitable tolling of the limitations period as appropriate to account for delays in reaching the collective certification stage of the litigation. With this understanding, Plaintiff's motion for conditional collective certification is DENIED without prejudice to its renewal following resolution of dispositive motion practice. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motions at docket entries 63 and 66. (Signed by Judge Katherine Polk Failla on 6/21/2021) (rro)
