holding that “American Pipe does not permit the maintenance of a follow-on class action past expiration of the statute of limitations”
holding that the statute of limitations is tolled for individual claims “during the pendency 13 of a putative class action, allowing unnamed class members to join the action individually or file 14 individual claims if the class fails”
noting that permitting tolling for successive class actions could limitlessly toll the statute of limitations
noting that American Pipe found tolling “permissible in the circumstances because plaintiffs who later intervened to pursue individual claims had not slept on their rights”
acknowledging that “class representative[s] might receive a share of class recovery above and beyond [their] individual claims”
explaining that the statute of repose “begins to run upon the last culpable act or omission of the defendant.” (emphasis added)
