ORDER RE BRIEFING ON

SECOND AMENDED

COMPLAINT

The second amended complaint is arguably ambiguous. In paragraphs one and ten, is

the complaint merely alleging that the County of Santa Clara provides health services by and

through the listed 340B entities, or are the 340B entities directly named as plaintiffs, separate

and apart from the County of Santa Clara? To clear this up, each 304B entity must file a short 

statement clarifying whether it is a direct plaintiff in this action separate and apart from the

County of Santa Clara. This must be signed by a representative of the 340B entity other than

plaintiff’s counsel. These statements shall be FILED BY NOON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2006.
