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. On April 27, 2010, this Court granted defendants’ motions to dismiss the 

amended consolidated complaint in the Class Actions. Doc. 90 in C-09-1001-SI. On 

May 28, 2010, plaintiffs in the Class Actions filed a Second Amended Consolidated Class 

Action Complaint (“SAC”). See Doc. 94 in C-09-1001-SI. On June 3, 2010, this Court 

entered a stipulated order setting a briefing schedule for motions to dismiss the SAC; the 

order sets a hearing date of September 3, 2010, and also postpones the further case 

management conference in the Class Actions from July 9, 2010 to September 3, 2010, at 

3 p.m. See Doc. 97 in C-08-1001-SI, at 4.

4. The case management conference in this Derivative Action had been set so 

that it would coincide with the case management conference in the Class Actions. In light 

of the foregoing, the parties agree that it makes sense to postpone the case management
