April 28, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 293 USCA JUDGMENT as to #225 Notice of Appeal, #260 Notice of Interlocutory Appeal, filed by Antonio Bayon, J.M.J. Appliances Corp., Humberto Vidal, Inc., Kress Stores of Puerto Rico, Inc., Elba Casiano, Valija Gitana, Inc., Almacenes Kress de Cayey, Inc.; Plaintiff-Petitioners seek leave from this court to appeal the district court's denial of class certification in the underlying action (21-8033). Plaintiff-Petitioners also seek leave to appeal the district court's denial of a renewed motion to remand filed after the district court had denied class certification (22-8001). The court has considered all papers on file, and, to the extent leave to file is needed as to any of those papers, leave is granted. Having reviewed the parties' papers and relevant portions of the record, we conclude that the requirements for interlocutory review of the denial of class certification and/or of the denial of remand have not been met here. Accordingly, the petitions for permission to appeal are DENIED. In light of the denial of the two petitions for permission to appeal, Appeal Nos. 21-1954 and 22-1058 are DISMISSED. (mcm)
