Plaintiff alleges that Defendant had a consistent policy CO whereby Defendant failed to provide legally compliant meal and rest periods, failed to provide oO accurate wage statements, failed to pay all wages due on termination, and engaged in unfair business practices in violation of the Unfair Competition Act. The basis for these claims is that 11 Defendant scheduled patient appointments without allocating time for Plaintiff and class members 12 to take breaks. . SCOTT COLE & ASSOCIATES, APC 13 CALIFORNIA 94607 Defendant’s Statement: Defendants submit a class cannot and should not be certified 555 12» STREET, SUITE 1725 ATTORNEYS AT LAW TEL: (510) 891-9800 14 due to the many individualized issues that are unique to each alleged class member. A class 15 cannot be certified as such individualized issues predominate over any alleged common question OAKLAND, 16 of fact and law. Defendants submit that Plaintiff's claim is not typical of each purported class 17 member’s claim, and he cannot adequately represent a purported class. To maintain a class 18 action, plaintiff has the burden to show that-the class action method is superior to other available 19 methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of the controversy, which is not the case here 20 because each putative class member’s claim requires individual analysis. As for Plaintiff's 21 individual claims, they are disputed. Plaintiff was timely permitted uninterrupted 30 minute meal 22 periods as well as lawfully compliant rest breaks throughout his employment. Plaintiff was paid 23 all wages in a timely manner. Plaintiff was provided with his final check in a timely manner. For 24 all such reasons, Plaintiff's claims concerning inaccurate itemized statements fail. The claim is 25 entirely dependent upon the ability of Plaintiff to prove his alleged unpaid wage and/or missed 26 meal/rest break claims which fail for the reasons stated above. Plaintiff's claims concerning 27 unlawful, unfair or fraudulent business practices by the Company under Business & Professions 2 Icode Section Section 17200, et seq. ("UCL") will also fail as the claim is entirely dependent [oa] -2- Joint Complex Case Management Conference Statement upon the ability of Plaintiff to prove his alleged unpaid wage and/or missed meal/rest break claims which fail for the reasons stated above.
