No. C 05-2146 SBA

ORDER

[Docket No. 21]

On July 25, 2005, Ralph Fenton and Sathya Rajasubramanian ("the Fenton Group") filed a Motion

for Consolidation of Case Nos. 05-2146, 05-2205 and 05-2373, Appointment of Lead Plaintiffs, and

Approval of Lead Plaintiffs' Selection of Lead Counsel ("Motion for Consolidation") [docket no. 21.] Civil

Local Rule 3-7 sets forth the filing and certification requirements which parties must observe in private

securities actions brought in the Northern District of California. Civil Local Rule 3-7(c) states: "Any party

seeking to serve as lead plaintiff, but who does not also file a complaint, need not file the certification

required in Civil L.R. 3-7(b), but must at the time of initial appearance state that the party has reviewed a

complaint filed in the action and either: (1) Adopts its allegations or, if not, (2) Specifies the allegations the

party intends to assert." 

Neither member of the Fenton Group has filed a complaint in this matter. Additionally, while the

certifications submitted by the Fenton Group state a complaint in this matter was reviewed, neither

certification specifies which complaint was reviewed, whether either proposed Lead Plaintiff adopts the

allegations of the complaint reviewed, or, which allegations he or she intends to assert. Consequently, the

Fenton Group has not complied with Civil Local Rule 3-7(c). 

The Fenton Group is to submit within ten (10) days of the date of this Order amended certifications

which comply with Civil Local Rule 3-7(c). Upon receipt of the amended certifications, the Court will take

under submission the Fenton Group's Motion for Consolidation. If Defendants have any objections to this

motion, they shall file them within three days of the submission of the amended certifications.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
