Plaintiff Kimberly Hudson-Bryant Amends Motion to Certify Class and Unredact Deposition

Plaintiff Kimberly Hudson-Bryant filed an amended motion to certify a class, attaching a supplement that unredacts portions of the deposition of Serene Vernon. The amendment responds to a court order requiring the plaintiff to provide unredacted references from Vernon's deposition.

The motion aims to support class certification by relying on evidence previously withheld due to confidentiality concerns. The court has not yet assigned a judge to the case, and the docket remains active with no further rulings recorded.

The unredacted deposition excerpts could affect the court’s analysis of commonality and typicality, key factors in class certification. The plaintiff’s counsel submitted the amendment on docket number 67, signaling a push to advance the class certification stage.

The case’s next steps will likely focus on the court’s review of the amended motion and the newly disclosed deposition material. The timing of any response from defendants or a hearing date remains unclear. The outcome of this motion will shape whether the case proceeds as a class action or remains an individual claim.
