• striking ADA class allegations because “no amount of discovery [would] demonstrate that the class can be maintained.”
• striking FDCPA class at pleadings stage because it required individual findings to identify the class members
• “Further, ‘such a class impermissibly skirts the bar of res judicata.’”
• While a plaintiff in a putative class action “may generally conduct discovery relevant to class certification,” Rules 12 and 23 allow courts to strike class allegations at the pleading stage “if class treatment is evidently inappropriate from the face of the complaint.”
