ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

WHY TENTATIVE ORDER

SHOULD NOT BE MADE

FINAL

With respect to the pending motion for leave to file a third amended complaint and to

establish which parties and claims are henceforth in and out of this action, a tentative order is

appended hereto. All parties are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the tentative order should not

be finalized. Critique and proposed improvements will be welcomed. Given the voluminous

submissions already allowed and considered, each side may file a memorandum up to

twenty pages (twelve-point font, double spaced and without footnotes). No appendices,

supplements or declarations shall be permitted. To avoid the recurring problem in this case of

citations that fail to support the proposition, no case law, SEC order or other authority may be

cited without quoting the relevant passage in full (without ellipses). Block quotes may be

single-spaced and may (if so indicated) omit footnotes. The same shall apply to quotations

from the pleadings, i.e., no citations to any proposed pleading shall be made without directly

quoting the actual language. Counsel are reminded again of their duties of candor and accuracy. 

In addition, selected pages from the tentative order may be appended with any brief handwritten

interlineations to correct grammar, misspellings, miscitations, and the like. Each memorandum

is due at NOON ON MARCH 5, 2007. Each side may then file a reply limited to ten pages and

limited to true rebuttal by NOON ON MARCH 7. All defendants shall file as one side. 

The appended tentative order may not be cited to or quoted from in any other litigation. 

Only the final may be cited or quoted, if at all. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
