The following excerpt is from Espinosa v. Ahearn (In re Hyundai & Kia Fuel Economy Litig.), No. 15-56014, No. 15-56025, No. 15-56059, No. 15-56061, No. 15-56064, No. 15-56067 (9th Cir. 2019):
settlement in order to determine whether "the idiosyncratic differences between state consumer protection laws" were "sufficiently substantive to predominate over the shared claims." Hanlon v. Chrysler Corp., 150 F.3d 1011, 1022-23 (9th Cir. 1998). Moreover, courts may not accept on faith the parties' assertions that there are no relevant variations in state laws. Castano, 84 F.3d at 741. Rather, "parties seeking class certification must show that the action is maintainable under Rule 23(b)(1), (2), or (3)." Amchem, 521 U.S. at 614.
