APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA (D.C. No. 00-CV-397-P) Edward J. Kionka (S. Daniel George, Sallisaw Oklahoma, and H. Ray Hodnett, Van Buren, Arkansas, with him on the briefs), Carbondale, Illinois, for Plaintiffs-Appellants. Joseph R. Farris (Jody R. Nathan with him on the brief), Feldman, Franden, Woodard & Farris, Tulsa, Oklahoma, for Defendants-Appellees. Before MURPHY, ANDERSON, and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges. BALDOCK, Circuit Judge. This is a negligence action brought in federal court under diversity jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. 1332. Plaintiffs' fifteen-year-old son, Travis Reed, was driving an all terrain vehicle on a rural road in Oklahoma when a truck driven by Defendant Lambertson struck and killed him. A jury returned a verdict for $500,000, and apportioned sixty percent fault to the truck driver and forty percent fault to Travis, resulting in an overall verdict for Plaintiffs for $300,000. Plaintiffs appeal only the jury's apportionment of fault, arguing the district court improperly instructed the jury that the all terrain vehicle was illegally on the road at the time of the accident. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1291. We affirm. I. In April 2000, Plaintiffs attended a family gathering in rural farm country in Oklahoma. Plaintiffs' son, Travis Reed, wanted to drive his grandfather's all terrain vehicle (ATV) to his aunt's home nearby. After receiving permission to take the ATV, Travis drove it down the driveway and onto the roadway. On the road, a hill prevented easy observation of oncoming traf...

Before: Tatel and Garland, Circuit Judges, and Williams, Senior Circuit Judge. Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge Tatel. Tatel, Circuit Judge: Rule 23(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits certification of class actions not "exclusively or predominantly [for] money damages." This petition for interlocutory review presents the following ques- tion: In a case involving requests for both monetary and equitable relief, may a district court certify a Rule 23(b)(2) class as to equitable relief only without first determining whether, looking at the complaint as a whole, plaintiffs' monetary claims predominate over their equitable claims? Although this issue is both unsettled and fundamental- factors that may justify interlocutory review pursuant to Rule 23(f)-we nevertheless deny the petition because the critical questions required to resolve it are entirely unbriefed and because we are satisfied that the issue will not escape appel- late review.
