United States District Court

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN MORAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CLOVIS ONCOLOGY, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-05323-RS 

ORDER RE MOTIONS FOR

APPOINTMENT OF LEAD 

PLAINTIFFS AND LEAD COUNSEL

 Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), the motions for appointment of lead plaintiffs and lead 

counsel (Dkt. Nos. 13, 15, and 17) are suitable for disposition without oral argument and the 

hearing set for March 3, 2016 is vacated. Although it appears the parties now do not dispute who 

qualifies as the presumptive lead plaintiffs and their counsel, a motion is pending to transfer this 

action to the District of Colorado, both under the “first-to-file rule” and under 28 U.S.C. § 

1404(a). If that motion is granted, it will be more appropriate to leave any determination as to 

appointment of lead plaintiffs and lead counsel to the discretion of the transferee court. 

Accordingly, the motions are denied without prejudice to renewal in either this court or in the 

District of Colorado, as may be appropriate following a ruling on the motion to transfer. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 3, 2016
