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. As anticipated, the defendants in the Class Actions filed motions to dismiss 

the Class Actions. See Docs. 61 - 65 filed Jan. 15, 2010 in No. C-09-1001-SI. But then the 

plaintiffs in the Class Actions, rather than oppose the motions to dismiss, sought to file an 

amended complaint. The parties to the Class Actions ultimately stipulated to the filing of 

an amended complaint in the Class Actions, 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.). The Court (Judge 

Illston) made this stipulation an order. See Doc. 67-68, filed Jan. 29 and Feb. 1, 2010.

4. In light of the parties’ stipulation here (Doc. 16), the parties agree that it 

makes sense to postpone the case management conference in this Derivative Action
