In Gittens v. The School Board of Lee County, Florida, No.
2:16-CV-412, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 115987 (M.D. Fla. July 7, 2017),
Plaintiffs brought suit against their employer, the School Board of
Lee County, Florida ("School District"), alleging that
the School District discriminated against them on the basis of
their race, i.e., African-American. After Plaintiffs moved
for class certification, Judge Mac R. McCoy of the U.S. District
Court for the Middle District of Florida denied their motion,
finding that Plaintiffs "fail[ed] to provide the necessary
glue to hold the putative class claims together under [the]
commonality analysis," that was set forth in Wal-Mart Stores,
Inc. v. Dukes, 564 U.S. 338 (2011). Id. at *34.
