it. 8 .The Court is aware of the split in authority on whether a district court retains jurisdiction after class certification is denied. See Ronat v. Martha Stewar Living Omnimedia, Inc., No. 05-520, 2008 WL 4963214, *6, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 91814, at *21-22 (S.D.I11. Nov. 12, 2008) (collecting conflicting cases). The Third Circuit has not ruled on the issue and district courts within the circuit have come to conflicting conclusions. Compare Atlass v. Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC, No. 07-2720, 2007 WL 2892803, *1 n. 1, 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 72603, at *2 n. 1 (D.N.L Sept. 25, 2007) (Debevoise, S.D.J.) (no jurisdiction if no certification order) with Allen-Wright v. Allstate Ins. Co., No. 07-4087, 2009 WL 1285522, *3, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 39555, at *14 (E.D.Pa. May 5, 2009) (Joyner, D.J.) (<HOLDING>). The Court respectfully disagrees with the
holding that cafa jurisdiction survived denial of class certification holding that a district of columbia consumer protection statute that authorized representative actions and did not reference class action requirements or mandate class certification was a separate and distinct procedural vehicle from a class action and thus did not constitute a class action under cafa holding that where named plaintiff was employee of class counsel district court did not abuse its discretion by denying class certification holding that the court retained cafa jurisdiction even though class certification was denied holding that no subsequent class actions may benefit from tolling when class certification has been denied
