ORDER REQUESTING LIMITED

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ class-action complaint on November 11,

2005. Plaintiffs opposed this motion and defendants submitted reply papers. The Court hereby

REQUESTS that each side submit by DECEMBER 14, 2005 AT NOON supplemental briefs that

shall not exceed two pages in length addressing the limited topic of whether the Securities

Litigation Uniform Standards Act requires dismissal of plaintiffs’ complaint. 

The parties need not provide any introductory language or statement of the case

background and only need to focus on the facts necessary to the Court’s application of SLUSA. 

The parties must support any legal conclusions with case authority, preferably from our Circuit

except where no authority from our Circuit exists, then the parties may look to the other

circuits. In any event, some case authority must be provided in support.
