ORDER
VINING, District Judge.
In these federal securities actions, the plaintiffs have filed motions for class certification, pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The court already has considered and ruled on the defendants’ motions to dismiss and numerous discovery and procedural motions. These cases are now ripe for a determination of whether they may proceed as class actions. 1 An understanding of the history of the Petro-Lewis cases is necessary before the court considers the motions for class certification.
