Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7.3(d), Lead Plaintiff Teachers’ Retirement System of 

Oklahoma (“Lead Plaintiff”) respectfully requests that the Court approve the filing of the 

attached Notice of Supplemental Authorities. 

Lead Plaintiff seeks to submit for the Court’s consideration: (i) In re Openwave Systems 

Sec. Litig., 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 80558 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 31, 2007); (ii) Memorandum and 

Order, In re Scottish Re Group Sec. Litig., 06 Civ. 5853 (SAS); and (iii) In re Enron Corp. Secs., 

2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 41240 (S.D. Tex. Dec. 22, 2005). Each of these authorities was either 

published after the hearing on defendants’ motions to dismiss or responds further to new points 

raised during the oral argument on October 19, 2007. The submitted authorities directly address 

issues pending before the Court; Lead Plaintiff has not failed to submit these authorities 

previously due to negligence or neglect; and, consideration of such authorities will cause no legal 

prejudice to defendants. Accordingly, Lead Plaintiff respectfully submits that the Notice of 

Supplemental Authorities should be filed for the Court’s consideration. 

Dated: November 8, 2007 Respectfully submitted,
