A putative class action had settled, subject to court approval.
A proposed intervener sought a timetable to bring a motion to intervene and be appointed representative plaintiff.
The existing parties to the action sought a timetable for the certification and settlement approval motions, arguing that the intervention motion should not be scheduled unless settlement approval was denied.
The court determined that the certification and settlement approval motions should be heard first, and the intervention motion would only be scheduled if settlement approval was not granted.
