How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that the relation-back exception encompasses scenarios where named plaintiffs “could individually be ‘picked off’ before class certification”
  • concluding that the case should not be dismissed as moot based on the tender to the named plaintiffs where there was pending “a timely filed and diligently pursued motion for class certification”
  • stating that classes with as few as thirty members have been certified by some courts
  • holding defendant's \tendering to 16 the named plaintiffs the full amount of their personal claims\ does not moot putative class 17 action
  • stating that one factor to determine numerosity and impracticability is “the ease with which class members may be identified”
  • stating that class certification issues in a securities fraud case are “left to the sound discretion of the district court.”
