The following excerpt is from Sudler v. City of New York, Docket No. 11-1198-cv(L), Docket No. 11-1216-cv(con) (2nd Cir. 2012):
Plaintiffs argue that the district court erred by declining to certify the putative plaintiff class. However, since "a class action cannot be sustained without a named plaintiff who has standing," Amador v. Andrews, 655 F.3d 89, 99 (2d Cir. 2011), the district court correctly denied the motion for class certification as moot.
