The following excerpt is from Jacob v. Duane Reade, Inc., No. 13-3873-cv (2nd Cir. 2015):
We review a district court's determination on class certification for abuse of discretion. Myers v. Hertz Corp., 624 F.3d 537, 547 (2d Cir. 2010). While we review the district court's construction of legal standards de novo, we review the district court's application of those standards for whether the district court's decision falls within the range of permissible decisions. Id.
