No. C-05-04020 RMW

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE

DEFENDANTS' MOTIONS TO DISMISS

AND STRIKE; ORDER STAYING THE

ACTION

[Re Docket Nos. 39, 40, 72]

Defendants Arthur Andersen LLP and Robert A. Putnam moved to dismiss and strike portions

of McKesson Corporation's First Amended Complaint ("FAC"). On September 6, 2007 the parties filed

a status report with the court informing it of their intention to settle this matter pending the nonoccurrence of a certain event prior to December 31, 2007 and requesting a stay of all proceedings.

Accordingly, the court denies defendants' motions without prejudice and stays the action. If necessary,

defendants may move to lift the stay and renotice their motions if the parties cannot otherwise stipulate

to a dismissal of this action.
