Within ninety (90) days after filing of a complaint in a class action, unless this period is
extended on motion for good cause appearing, the plaintiff shall move for a determination
under subdivision (c)(1) of Fed.R.Civ.P.23, as to whether the case is to be maintained as a
class action. In ruling upon such a motion, the court may allow the action to be so maintained,
may disallow and strike the class action allegations, or may order postponement of the
determination pending discovery or such other preliminary procedures as appear to be
appropriate and necessary in the circumstances. Whenever possible, where it is held that the
determination should be postponed, a date will be fixed by the court for renewal of the motion
before the same judge.
