SUMMARY* Class Certification The panel reversed the district court’s order denying class certification, and remanded with directions for the district court to enter an order granting the motion for class certification where plaintiffs sought to represent 538 employees of Medline Industries, Inc., and alleged violations of California’s labor laws. The panel held that the district court applied the wrong legal standard and abused its discretion when it denied class certification on the grounds that damages calculations would be individual. The panel also held that the district court abused its discretion by finding that the class would be unmanageable despite the record’s demonstration to the contrary.

Berzon, and Morgan B. Christen, Circuit Judges. Opinion by Judge Harry Pregerson, Circuit Judge: Plaintiffs are five individual recipients of deferred action under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (“DACA”) program, and the Arizona DREAM Act Coalition (“ADAC”), an organization that advances the interests of young immigrants. DACA recipients are noncitizens who were brought to this country as children. Under the DACA program, they are permitted to remain in the United States for some period of time as long as they meet certain conditions. Authorized by federal executive order, the DACA program is administered by the Department of Homeland Security and is consistent with the Supreme Court’s ruling that the federal government “has broad, undoubted power over the subject of immigration and the status of aliens” under the Constitution.

Opinion by Judge Pregerson SUMMARY* Anti-SLAPP Motion The panel affirmed the district court’s order denying defendants’ anti-SLAPP motion to strike a state law claim for breach of implied-in-fact contract in a copyright case. The plaintiff alleged that the defendants infringed his copyright in a screenplay and used his screenplay idea to create films without providing him compensation as a writer. The panel held that the breach of contract claim did not arise from an act in furtherance of the right of free speech because the claim was based on defendants’ failure to pay for the use of plaintiff’s idea, not the creation, production, distribution, or content of the films.

So I had best make one thing clear. I am going to recount events differently than you may remember them. I will reach into the stream of memory and pull out this or that pebble that has been cast there by my fate. The pebbles when cast may have had jagged edges, now worn away by the stream. So I tell it as memory permits, and maybe not entirely as it was. This could be called lying, but more charitably it is simply what life gives to each of us as our memories of events are shaped in ways that give us smiles and help us to go on. I do not have transcripts of all the cases in the book, so I recall them as well as I can.

Do Women Judges Speak in a Different Voice? Sometimes, Some Women Judges Do
DO WOMEN JUDGES SPEAK "IN A DIFFERENT VOICE?" CAROL GILLIGAN, FEMINIST LEGAL THEORY, AND THE NINTH CIRCUIT Sue Davis* INTRODUCTION Feminist legal theory challenges the fundamental principles of Amer- ican law by uncovering the profound implications of the fact that the legal system was constructed, and until recently, interpreted and administered by and for men. Feminists have not only criticized specific judicial deci- sions and proposed legal reforms,1 they have gone further to question the fundamental concepts and methods of law.2 Feminist jurisprudence reaf- firms the conclusions of the legal realists and the Critical Legal Studies movement that law is neither neutral nor objective but serves to reinforce the dominant power structure. Feminist legal theory emphasizes the ex- tent to which the patriarchal character of that power structure shapes the law and in so doing, makes the domination of women "seem a feature of life, not a one-sided construct imposed by force for the advantage of a dominant group."3 Is it possible that as increasing numbers of women * Associate Professor, Department of Political Science and International Relations, University of Delaware.

BITER, Warden, Respondent-Appellee. ORDER Filed February 12, 2014 Before: Harry Pregerson, William A. Fletcher, and Jacqueline H. Nguyen, Circuit Judges. Order; Dissent by Judge O’Scannlain 2 MOORE V. BITER SUMMARY* Habeas Corpus The panel denied a petition for panel rehearing, denied a petition for rehearing en banc on behalf of the court, and ordered that no further petitions shall be entertained in a case in which the panel reversed the district court’s denial of a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition challenging a 254- year sentence for a juvenile nonhomicide offender. Judge O’Scannlain dissented from the denial of rehearing en banc, joined by Judges Tallman, Bybee, Callahan, Bea, M. Smith, and Ikuta. Judge O’Scannlain wrote that because the panel’s opinion—which held that Graham v. Florida, 130 S. Ct. 2011 (2010), applies retroactively on collateral review and that the state court’s failure to apply Graham to petitioner’s sentence was contrary to clearly established federal law—defies the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, creates a circuit split, and threatens frequent and unjustified intrusions into state sovereignty. * This summary constitutes no part of the opinion of the court. It has been prepared by court staff for the convenience of the reader. MOORE V. BITER 3 ORDER The panel has voted to deny the petitions for rehearing and rehearing en banc.

Opinion by Judge Pregerson 2 DESERTRAIN V. CITY OF LOS ANGELES SUMMARY* Civil Rights The panel reversed the district court’s summary judgment in an action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 challenging the constitutionality of Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 85.02, which prohibits the use of a vehicle “as living quarters either overnight, day-by-day, or otherwise.” The panel held that Section 85.02 provides inadequate notice of the unlawful conduct it proscribes, and opens the door to discriminatory enforcement against the homeless and the poor. Accordingly, the panel held that Section 85.02 violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as an unconstitutionally vague statute. COUNSEL Carol A.
