Regardless, one can't help but leave the opinions with a firm sense that Judge Klausner entered the procedural orders he did here (e.g., denying stipulated agreements to extend a super-rapid class certification deadline) with a firm eye towards making sure that the class never got certified.
Whether that's a case-specific preference or applies to class actions more generally is, again, an issue on which reasonable minds might disagree. But this was definitely a case where procedural means were used (IMHO) to accomplish a particular result.
