03/18/2004 121 USCA Order Re: Petition: The petition under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23 (f) for leave to appeal is stayed until further action by the district court. It appears from the district court opinion on class certification that the court was unaware of the Supreme Court's decision ORTIZ v. FIBREBOARD CORP., 527 U.S. 815, 831 (1999), or of the "juridical link" doctrine, SEE 7B Charles Alan Wright et al., FEDERAL PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE 1785.1, at 148-50 (2d ed. 1986), neither of which is cited or discussed. It is difficult to evaluate the Rule 23 (f) petition in the absence of discussion by the district court of this law. We remand for the limited purposes of obtaining such a discussion and otherwise retain jurisdiction. It would be appropriate for the district court to consider the effects of this law and either supplement its order or revise its prior order. Within 10 days of the district court's action, plaintiffs shall advise us of whether they wish to pursue a Rule 23 (f) appeal, and, if so, brief the matter. Defendants' brief shall be due 7 days thereafter. (Ramos, Jeanette) (Entered: 03/18/2004)
