For the reasons set forth in the Opinion issued this same day, it is hereby

plaintiffs in this case; it is FURTHER ORDERED that the prior motions filed by plaintiffs [Dkt. Nos. 383,

385] have been incorporated into plaintiffs’ instant motion [Dkt. No. 400], and therefore, by this

FURTHER ORDERED that the plaintiffs’ motion is DENIED as to the three

individuals who were voluntarily dismissed from this case, listed in Exhibit B of Dkt. No. 400;

and it is

FURTHER ORDERED that any additional prospective plaintiffs – whether they

seek reconsideration of the Court’s prior denial of their joinder or were previously dismissed

from the case – that move to be reinstated in this case following the issuance of this Order and

the accompanying Opinion must show good cause as to why they did not meet the Court’s prior

deadlines.

SO ORDERED.
