ORDER PERMITTING

ADDITIONAL BRIEFING AND

CONTINUING HEARING RE

DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO

DISMISS AND MOTION FOR

ATTORNEYS' FEES

Defendants have filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint and a Motion for

Attorneys' Fees. The Court currently is scheduled to hear these motions and to

conduct a case management conference on May 17, 2006, at 3:30 p.m.

Defendants, in their Reply to plaintiff's opposition to defendants' motion to

dismiss, argue for the first time that California Corporations Code §17450 requires

this Court to apply the law of Virginia to at least some of plaintiff's claims.

Defendants are not entitled to assert new arguments in their Reply. Additionally,

defendants filed their Request for Judicial Notice in Support of Motion to Dismiss

after plaintiff filed its opposition to the motion to dismiss.

In order to provide plaintiff with an opportunity to respond to the new

information submitted by defendants the Court provides as follows.
