SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE

All motions to appoint a lead plaintiff shall be heard on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5,

2007, at 2:00 P.M. in Courtroom No. 9, 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 21, 2007,

including the certification called for therein. Each candidate must attend the hearing on

December 5, 2007, 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 27, 2007, and shall not exceed ten pages. Any

reply briefs shall be filed and served by NOVEMBER 30, 2007. Each party shall submit only one

opposition brief, responding to all other pending motions, and only one reply brief. All

questionnaires and other submissions shall be served both by facsimile and by mail on all

counsel named on the Court’s appended service list. Counsel are responsible for contacting

each other and obtaining the correct facsimile number.

If any movant has already filed a timely notice for appointment before receiving this

order, then the movant must file and serve a supplement to its submission in accordance with

this order by NOVEMBER 21, 2007.

Applications for class counsel shall be deferred until after the lead plaintiff has been

appointed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 14, 2007.
