Plaintiffs,

Defendants. /

No. C 04-00883 SI

ORDER RE: SUPPLEMENTAL

BRIEFING ON PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION

FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION

The Court directs the parties to file supplemental briefs regarding the following issues: (1)

whether there is a conflict between the derivative claims and the proposed class action based on the fact

that the derivative claims are brought on a nationwide basis while the proposed class action is limited

to California residents and covers a different time period; and (2) whether a class action is a superior

method of litigation, and/or whether there is a conflict between the derivative claims and the proposed

class action, given that during the overlapping periods of the derivative claims and the proposed class

claims, the funds and the proposed class would be seeking the same recovery, i.e., the amount of the

alleged overcharges, resulting in potential duplicative recovery.

The supplemental briefs shall be no more than 5 pages in length. The parties shall file the briefs,

and shall serve copies on chambers, on or before noon on April 10, 2006. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 5, 2006
