(djh) (Entered: 05/17/1999)
05/14/1999 20 ORDER by Judge Richard W. Story GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN
PART plas' [11−1] motion for leave to interview prospective class members who
initiate contact with plas' cnsl, [11−2] to preclude dft from further unauthorized
communication prospective class members. Plas' communications: Court finds plas
and their cnsl are entitled to speak freely about lawsuit w/any potential class
member who contacts them. Court permits plas to (1) discuss merits of suit
w/potential class members who contact them; (2) determine whether that potential
class member possesses any evidence relating to the cmp allegations; (3) prepare
afdts or other testimony in support of class cert or the merits of the case; (4) discuss
w/potential class members the possibility of representation by plas' cnsl and of
providing legal services to them. To extent that Coca−Cola employees wish to
pursue employment claims against Coca−Cola, they may communicate freely
w/plas and their cnsl. However, communications re: any other matters relevant to
this suit−−including but not limited to privileged info−−are not permitted.
Coca−Cola's request that plas produce copies of intake forms completed by
employees at plas' cnsl's law firm and making employees available for interviews is
DENIED. Coca−Cola's request that plas be restricted from asking potential class
members whether they may be contacted at work is DENIED. Plas are prohibited
from contacting Coca−Cola employees at work unless the employees have retained
plas' cnsl. Court concludes that website should be purged of the cmp, its exhs, and
the referral to plas' cnsl, and Court orders plas to earnestly request the cmp, its exhs
and referral be removed from website. Dft's communications: Court imposes
following limitations on Coca−Cola's communications w/potential class members.
Coca−Cola may continue to share its views about lawsuit w/its employees but all
such communications must contain language "The foregoing represents
Coca−Cola's opinion of lawsuit. It is unlawful for Coca−Cola to retaliate against
employees who choose to participate in this case." Plas request that Coca−Cola
issue a curative notice to potential class members as a result of Ivester's previous
e−mails is DENIED. Coca−Cola is prohibited from discussing suit directly
w/potential class members except to extent it needs to speak w/managerial
employees to investigate the acts, omissions, and stmts they committed that may
expose Coca−Cola to liability in this action. But these conversations must be
limited to that specific topic. Court will not limit in any manner the parties' right to
speak w/media re: substance of lawsuit so long as no attempts are made by either
side to overtly solicit participation or nonparticipation by potential class members.

02/04/2000 142 ORDER by Judge Richard W. Story DENYING plaintiffs' [133−1] motion for
preliminary injunction. Having considered plaintiffs' objections to proposed
releases utilized by defendant in connection with an ongoing reduction−in−force
and the proposed corrective measures of plaintiffs and defendant, the Court finds
that clarifcation of the provision in the releases relating to this case are necessary in
order for the court to be assured that prospective plaintiffs are making a fully
informed release of their claims. It is therefore ORDERED that dft send to all
associates affected by the reduction−in−force a memorandum in the form shown in
Exhibit "A" (attached) hereto. (cc) (entered 2/7/00, edited 3/8/00) (pdw) (Entered:
