AND NOW, this 18th day of August, 2009, it is hereby
ORDERED that the motion of plaintiff John Jarvis for

____________________
Before the court is the motion of plaintiff John Jarvis
for reconsideration of this court's July 22, 2009 Order denying
class certification.  A claim for a refund filed with the
Commissioner of Finance must state, in addition to the "reasons
advanced in support of the claimed refund," "the amount of excise
taxes allegedly overpaid, [and] the date(s) such taxes were
paid."  JDS Realty Corp. v. Gov't of the V.I., 18 V.I. 601, 603
(D.V.I. 1981).  No purported class member ever furnished this
information to the Commissioner.  Only the claim of Jarvis
satisfies the requirements of V.I. Code. Ann. tit. 33, § 1692(a). 
Accordingly, his motion for reconsideration is being denied.
