STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

Case No. C-09-4963-SI 

RECITALS 

1. On December 1, 2009, the parties entered into, and on December 9, 2009, 

the Court (Judge Ware) signed, a stipulation and order coordinating the settling of the 

pleadings in this derivative action (the “Derivative Action”) with the resolution of motions 

to dismiss expected to be filed in the related consolidated class actions, No. C-09-1001-SI 

(the “Class Actions”). See Stipulation and Order, Doc. 16 in this action, filed December 9, 

2009. As stated in their stipulation, the parties did so (inter alia) for two reasons: 

“7. Although it asserts different legal theories, the Derivative Action 

arises out of the same transactions and occurrences as the Consolidated Class 

Actions, and names the same individual defendants and underwriter defendants. 

“9. The parties agree that it makes sense to postpone further activity in 

the Derivative Action until the motions to dismiss the Consolidated Class Actions 

are heard and resolved.” 

See Doc. 16, ¶¶ 7, 9. 

2. On December 14, 2009, this Court (Judge Illston) entered an Order Relating 

Case relating this Derivative Action to the Class Actions. See Doc. 17 in this case and Doc. 

57 in C-09-1001-SI. 

3. The Class Action defendants filed motions to dismiss the Class Actions and 

plaintiffs in that case sought to amend their complaint. See Docs. 61 - 65 filed Jan. 15, 

2010 in No. C-09-1001-SI. The parties to the Class Actions ultimately stipulated to the 

filing of an amended complaint, and to adjusting the briefing and hearing schedule so that 

the hearing on the motions to dismiss the Class Actions, and the next case management 

conference in the Class Actions, both would be heard on April 16, 2010 (with the motions 

at 9 a.m. and the case management conference at 2:30 p.m.). This Court (Judge Illston) 

signed the stipulated order. See Doc. 67-68, filed Jan. 29 and Feb. 1, 2010.

4. In accordance with the stipulation of the parties, on February 10, 2010, this 

Court entered an order postponing the case management conference in the above-captioned 

Derivative Action from February 26, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. to April 16, 2010, the same day as

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

Case No. C-09-4963-SI 

the hearing and the case management conference in the Class Actions. See Doc. 22 filed 

Feb. 10, 2010. 

5. On April 1, 2010, the parties to the Class Actions filed a stipulation and 

proposed order requesting, inter alia, that the hearing on the motions to dismiss the Class 

Actions be heard on April 23, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. See Doc. 80 in C-09-1001-SI.

6. On April 6, 2010, the parties to the Class Actions filed a stipulation and 

proposed order requesting that the case management conference in the Class Actions 

(currently set for April 16, 2010 at 2:30 p.m.) also be continued to April 23, 2010. See Doc.

83 in C-09-1001-SI. 

7. In light of the parties’ stipulation in the above-captioned Derivative Action 

(Doc. 16), and to conserve the parties’ and the Court’s resources, the parties agree that it 

makes sense to reschedule the case management conference in this Derivative Action, 

currently set for April 16, 2010 at 2:30 p.m., to April 23, 2010, the same day as the hearing 

on the motions to dismiss and the case management conference in the Class Actions. 

STIPULATION 

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the undersigned 

counsel for the parties herein and the parties hereby respectfully request that the Court: 

1. Continue the Case Management Conference currently set for April 16, 2010 

at 2:30 p.m. until April 23, 2010, either at 2:30 p.m. or at 3:00 p.m., whichever the Court 

prefers; and 

2. Vacate the deadlines set by the Order Setting Initial Case Management 

Conference and ADR Deadlines and the February 10, 2010 Order Postponing Case 

Management Conference in favor of new deadlines consistent with this stipulation, the new 

date set for the Case Management Conference and Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f)(1) and (2), Civil 

Local Rules 16-8 and 16-9, and ADR Local Rule 3-5.
