U.S. Supreme Court
Case Status
Pending
Docket Number
Lower Court Opinion
Questions Presented
1. Whether the Ninth Circuit’s “common course of conduct” test improperly dilutes Rule 23(b)(3)’s predominance requirement by ignoring differences among class members as to key elements of the claim.
2. Whether the Ninth Circuit’s asymmetric standard of review violates Rule 23 by giving district court rulings granting class certification “noticeably more deference” than rulings denying class certification.
