IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SAN JOSE DIVISION

Theodore R. Kornreich Revocable Trust et

al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

Edward W. Barnholt et al.,

Defendants. /

NO. C 06-03345 JW 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO RELATE

CASES

Presently before the Court is Defendant KLA-Tencor Corp.’s (“KLA”) Administrative

Motion to Consider Whether Cases Should be Related, filed on August 15, 2006. KLA moves this

Court to consider whether Garber v. KLA-Tencor Corp. et al., No. C 06-04065 MJJ (the “Garber

action”), and Police and Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit et al. v. KLA-Tencor Corp. et

al., No. C 06-04709 MHP (the “PFRS action”), are related to the above-entitled action and all

actions which have previously been related to the above-entitled action. One of the Plaintiffs filed

an opposition to KLA’s motion, arguing that the Garber and PFRS actions are significantly different

from the previously related shareholder derivative actions because they are styled as securities class

action suits. Having considered the parties’ submissions, the Court finds that the claims and issues

in the securities class action suits are not substantially similar to those present in the derivative

actions. Accordingly, the Court DENIES KLA’s Motion.
