IN RE BARE ESCENTUALS, INC.

SECURITIES LITIGATION

____________________________ No. C 09-3268 PJH

ORDER RE MOTION TO SHORTEN

This document relates to: TIME AND REFERRAL TO

 All Actions MAGISTRATE JUDGE

_______________________________/

Before the court is plaintiffs’ motion for an order shortening time for briefing and

hearing of their motion for entry of an interim document preservation order, noticed for

hearing in accordance with Local Rule 7-2 on March 24, 2010. Plaintiffs seek to have the

motion heard a week from today, on February 24, 2010. The court finds that in the

absence of some indication, other than plaintiffs’ mere speculation, that defendant may fail

to comply with the preservation requirements of the PSLRA, and in view of plaintiffs’ own

delay in bringing this motion, an expedited hearing with its concomitant abbreviated period

for the defendant’s opposition to be filed and for the court to prepare for the hearing, is

simply not warranted. The motion is DENIED. 

Additionally, plaintiffs’ request to file a reply brief is DENIED, as reply briefs are not

permitted for Local Rule 6-3 motions to shorten time.

Lastly, plaintiffs’ motion for entry of an interim document preservation order is

referred for assignment to a magistrate judge, who shall also retain the case for all

discovery purposes once the discovery stay is lifted. The March 24, 2010 hearing date on

the calendar of the undersigned is VACATED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 17, 2010 ______________________________
