How Judge Zampano decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In Moses v. Avco, he denied class certification after finding that the proposed subclasses spanned dissimilar job categories and raised representation conflicts.
“It is questionable under plaintiffs’ showing that each subclass, which include all these groups, is sufficiently homogeneous and free of conflicts to merit certification.”
Cautions
He described preliminary injunctions as extraordinary relief requiring a clear showing of irreparable harm and merits strength.
“It is well established that a preliminary injunction is an extraordinary remedy that should not be granted except upon a clear showing of 1) irreparable harm and 2) either a) a likelihood of success on the merits or b) sufficiently serious questions going to the merits to make them a fair ground for litigation and a balance of hardships tipping decidedly in favor of the party seeking the relief.”
