    ANN VENEMAN,
                       Defendant.

                                                                         U.S. DISTRICT COURT
                        MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
    
         Pending before the Court is plaintiffs' motion for class
    
    certification. The Court has considered plaintiffs' motion and
    
    proposed order, defendant·s opposition, and plaintiffs' reply
    
    thereto, all pertinent portions of the record, counsels'
    
    representations at oral argument on July 13, 2001, and the
    
    relevant statutory and case law. Plaintiffs have fulfilled all
    
    the requirements to justify class certification of this action.
    
    Accordingly, on September 28, 2001, the Court granted
    
    plaintiffs' motion for class certification pursuant to Fed. R.
    
    Civ. P. 23(b)(2). This Memorandum Opinion and Order sets for the
    
    justification for the Court's September 28, 2001 Order, further
    
    orders plaintiffs to file a proposed order outlining appropriate
    
    sub-classes in accordance with this Memorandum Opinion, and
    
    denies defendant's motion for a stay of the Court's September
    
    28, 2001 Order.
