Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • denying class certification, because the proposed class members had materially different contracts that would require the court to devote substantially more time resolving individual contracts’ meaning
  • denying 24 certification of a class that included individuals who, based on the class definition, “could 25 not have been injured by Defendant’s allegedly wrongful conduct”
  • declining to require plaintiffs 2 to “propose [a] way to identify class members and [] prove that an administratively 3 feasible method exists [to do so]” at the class certification stage
  • “The inclusion of class members whom, by definition, could not have been injured is . . . indicative of the individualized inquiries that would be necessary to determine whether a class member has suffered any injury in the first place.”
