United States DC Circuit

An appeal brought pursuant to Rule 23(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure from denial of class certification in an employment discrimination case against a federal agency is dismissed where the district court denied class certification because it believed petitioners failed to comply with requirements imposed by Title VII, and not Rule 23.
