I.--INTRODUCTION
THE plaintiffs are retail channel partners of the defendants w were directed to close

unduly burdensome on individual class members, defendants, and the c urt system. Additionally,
because of the disparity of resources available to individual class mernb rs, prosecution of
separate actions would work a financial hardship on many class membe s. Finally, a class
certiiication is appropriate because the prosecution of separate actions »l individual members of
the class would create a risk of adjudications with respect to individual I embers ofthe class that
would be as practical matter be dispositive of the interests of the other r` embers not parties to the
adjudications, and would substantially impair their ability to protect th r interests.
XVII.
The plaintiffs pray for a trial by jury.
WHEREFORE, the plaintiffs, MP Vista, Inc., Habib Petroleu Warren’s Shell, Inc.
Individually And On Behalf Of Those Similarly Situated, pray for J ud i tent against the
defendants, Motiva Enterprises, LLC and Shell Oil Company, togethe with costs and attorney
fees.
