ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO FILE SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFINGS
HON. MATTHEW F. LEITMAN JUDGE
Now before the Court is Plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification (ECF No. 123). In connection with that motion, Plaintiffs have argued that Defendant General Motors Company (“General Motors”) has waived any right it may have had to seek enforcement of any arbitration provisions in agreements between the named Plaintiffs and the dealerships from which they purchased their vehicles (the “Arbitration Provisions”).
In resolving this issue, it would be helpful for tmhe Court to understand when General Motors first learned of the existence of the Arbitration Provisions. Accordingly, the Court directs Plaintiffs to file a Supplemental Brief by no later than June 22, 2023 , identifying any evidence as to when General Motors first learned of the Arbitration Agreements. General Motors may respond to Plaintiffs' Supplemental Brief by no later than June 29, 2023.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
