Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7.3(d), Lead Plaintiff Teachers’ Retirement System of 

Oklahoma (“Lead Plaintiff”) respectfully requests that the Court approve the filing of the 

attached Notice of Supplemental Authority. 

Lead Plaintiff seeks to submit for the Court’s consideration: Makor Issues & Rights, Ltd. 

v. Tellabs Inc., 2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 975 (7th Cir. Jan. 17, 2008). Makor Issues & Rights, Ltd. 

v. Tellabs Inc. was published on January 17, 2008, after the hearing on defendants’ motions to 

dismiss. The submitted authority directly addresses issues pending before the Court; Lead 

Plaintiff has not failed to submit this authority previously due to negligence or neglect; and, 

consideration of this authority will cause no legal prejudice to defendants. Accordingly, Lead 

Plaintiff respectfully submits that the Notice of Supplemental Authority should be deemed filed 

for the Court’s consideration.

Dated: January 25, 2007 Respectfully submitted,
