Supplemental briefs filed in Mazza v. Honda (9th Cir.) regarding Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes

As you may remember from these two posts, in 2008, the district court granted nationwide class certification of UCL and CLRA claims in an auto defect class action against Honda.  Mazza v. American Honda Motor Co., 254 F.R.D. 610 (C.D. Cal. 2008).  The Ninth Circuit granted a Rule 23(f) petition for permission to appeal, and the case was argued in June 2010.  Mazza v. American Honda Motor Co., no. 09-55376 (9th Cir.).

In December 2010, the Ninth Circuit sua sponte ordered submission deferred pending resolution of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes, no. 10-277.  This happened one day after the Supreme Court granted cert. in Dukes and about six months after Mazza was argued.

On June 22, 2011, two days after the Dukes opinion was handed down, the Ninth Circuit ordered Mazza resubmitted and directed the parties to file supplemental briefs on the impact of Dukes.  Those briefs were due, and were filed, last Friday. Here are copies:

• Appellees' Supplemental Brief Addressing the Impact of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes (filed 07-22-11)


• Supplemental Brief of American Honda Motor Co. Regarding Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes (filed 07-22-11)
