Charles L. Jordan v. County of Los Angeles
Charles L. JORDAN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, Defendant-Appellee
Opinion
SECOND ORDER AMENDING OPINION (Opinion, Aug. 18, 1983, 11 Cir.1983, 713 F.2d 503 )
Before TANG, SCHROEDER and NELSON, Circuit Judges.
The Order Amending Opinion filed January 19, 1984, * is withdrawn.
The opinion filed August 18, 1983, is amended as follows:
After the fourth paragraph of the opinion, the following paragraph shall be inserted:
Falcon does not prohibit “across the board” class formation in every instance.
See [General Telephone Co.
v.]
Falcon [ 457 U.S. 147 ], 102 S.Ct. [2364] at 2371 n. 15 [ 72 L.Ed.2d 740 ] (Across the board *1367 actions aimed at a specific hiring practice are permissible under Rule 23). However, even though it would be permissible to form a class of all black applicants challenging a specified hiring practice, we must conclude after recomputation of the actual number of rejected black applicants, that such a class in the present case would still fail under the numerosity requirement of Rule 23.
* Editor’s Note: The only change made by the order of January 19, 1984, was the addition of a new paragraph after the fourth paragraph of the original opinion; the paragraph so added is revised by the second order of amendment.
