Order
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION granting 417 Motion to Certify Class. Plaintiffs' motion to certify the class is granted for the reasons described in the transcript of the oral argument held on May 7, 2024, and as provided below. The class is defined as follows: All refugees or asylees admitted by the United States who formerly lived in Sudan or South Sudan between November 1997 and December 2011. The common questions for trial are the f ollowing:a. Whether the Government of Sudan persecuted class members, or caused them to have reasonable fear of persecution, because of their race, religion, or ethnicity between November 1997 and December 2011.b. Whether the BNP Paribas Defendan ts ("BNPP") consciously aided, abetted,and enabled the Government of Sudan to carry out such acts and as further set forth in this Order. The Court finds that the class, estimated to be over 23,000 individuals, is sufficiently numerous suc h that joinder is impracticable under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a)(l). The foregoing questions are common to the class under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a)(2). Plaintiffs' claims are typical of the claims and defenses with respect to the class under Fed. R. C iv. P. 23(a)(3). The nineteen plaintiffs in this action will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a)(4). The following issues also shall be addressed by the parties:a. Identification of the procedure t o provide the "best notice that is practicable under the circumstances" to members of the class, including how they can be identified, how to send individual notices, and how to give adequate notice to those who cannot be identified. See F ed. R. Civ. P. 23(c)(2)(B). The parties also shall propose dates and procedures to be accomplished before the Final Pre-Trial Conference and class trial. Plaintiffs are to serve their proposals on Defendants by May 17, 2024. If the parties agree , the court shall be advised by joint submission by May 21, 2024. If there is disagreement, they are to be addressed in separate briefs by May 23, 2024, and in replies by May 28, 2024.b. The parties shall brief the question, whether determinations of refugee and asylee status by USCIS or other immigration determinations as to the same are 1) admissible, 2) presumptive, or 3) binding on all class members and BNPP, filing their respective briefs on May 21, 2024, and their replies by May 28,2024.The parties shall appear for a status conference on June 11, 2024 at 2:30 p.m. The Clerk shall terminate the open motion at ECF No. 417.SO ORDERED.
