All motions to appoint lead plaintiff shall be heard on DECEMBER 1, 2016, AT 8:00 A.M.

in Courtroom 8, 19th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. As opposed to

“group” candidates, the Court wishes to evaluate the qualifications of single investors, either

institutional investors or individuals, to serve as lead plaintiff. See In re Network Assocs., Inc.,

Sec. Litig., 76 F. Supp. 2d 1017, 1019–27 (N.D. Cal. 1999). The Court is particularly interested

in considering single investors with large losses and in evaluating their experience in managing

litigation. Any “group” of movants must narrow its candidates to one or two single investors

and file answers to the appended questionnaire by NOVEMBER 17, 2016, including the

certification called for therein. Each candidate must attend the hearing on DECEMBER 1, 2016,

and be prepared to answer questions. 

All motions to appoint lead plaintiff must be timely filed under 15 U.S.C. 78u-4(a)(3) and

must be supplemented by the appended questionnaire and certification. All opposition briefs

shall be filed and served by NOVEMBER 16, 2016. Any reply briefs shall be filed and served by
