California Court of Appeal

Appeals from the orders denying class action certification and denying leave to amend the complaint are dismissed where: 1) plaintiffs cannot prosecute their Fair Labor Standards act action as a class action under section 382 as FLSA actions have a procedural jurisprudence distinct from that which governs class actions; 2) the order denying class action certification is not appealable; and 3) the order denying leave to amend is not appealable as the complaint did not dispose of any issues in the case.
