WHEREAS, on August 15, 2013, Hua-Chen Lin and Jonathan W. Diamond filed a 

complaint for violations of the federal securities laws against Ecotality, H. Ravi Brar and Susie 

Herrmann (the “Lin” action [No. 13-CV-03791]); 

WHEREAS, on August 19, 2013, Eric M. Cohen filed a substantially similar complaint 

against Ecotality, H. Ravi Brar and Susie Herrmann (the “Cohen” action [No. 13-cv-03840]) and, 

on October 3, 2013, Francis X. Fleming, Jr. filed a substantially similar complaint against H. Ravi 

Brar and Susie Herrmann (the “Fleming” action [No. 13-cv-45679]); 

WHEREAS, on October 15, 2013, six competing movants, including Joseph W. Vale 

(“Vale”), filed motions to consolidate the Lin, Cohen and Fleming actions, to appoint the movants 

as lead plaintiff, and to approve the movants’ selection of lead counsel; 

WHEREAS, on December 13, 2013, the Court issued an order consolidating the Lin,

Cohen and Fleming actions, appointing Vale as Lead Plaintiff and approving Vale’s selection of 

Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP as lead counsel (Dkt. No. 47); 

WHEREAS, on December 17, 2013, the Court entered an Order (Dkt. No. 49) setting the 

schedule for Lead Plaintiff’s filing of a consolidated amended complaint and Defendants’ 

response thereto (the “Scheduling Order”); 

WHEREAS, under the Scheduling Order, Lead Plaintiff shall file a consolidated amended 

complaint no later than January 31, 2014; 

WHEREAS, the Scheduling Order scheduled a hearing on Defendants’ motion to dismiss 

the complaint for June 20, 2014;

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

CONTINUING CMC AND ADR DEADLINES 

 3:13-CV-03791-SC 

WHEREAS, a Case Management Conference is currently set for January 24, 2014;

WHEREAS, the parties agree that any case management conference in this matter would 

be premature and would not benefit the Court or the parties both because discovery is stayed and 

because lead plaintiff will not file a consolidated complaint until on or before January 31, 2014; 

WHEREAS, the parties further agree that, for the same reasons, the selection of an ADR 

process under Civil Local Rule 16-8 and ADR Local Rule 3-5 would be premature and would not 

benefit the Court or the parties; 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED among the parties, 

through their respective counsel, as follows: 

1. The January 24, 2014 Case Management Conference shall be taken off calendar, to 

be rescheduled to July 25, 2014.

2. The deadline for the filing of the ADR Certification and the Stipulation to ADR 

Process or Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference shall be extended to 21 days before the 

continued Case Management Conference, if any. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
