Although motions to decertify may be proper under certain circumstances,
the Court may not disturb its prior certification findings absent some significant intervening event, or a showing of compelling reasons to reexamine the question. Jermyn v.

(quoting Easterling v. Conn. Dep’t of Corr., 278 F.R.D. 41, 42 (D.Conn.2011)).
Gortat v. Capala Bros., 949 F. Supp. 2d 374, 383 (E.D.N.Y. 2013).
