ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO COMPEL RESPONSES TO INTERROGATORIES 

Case No.: 05-cv-04518 (WHA)

2 

Plaintiffs’ motion to compel further interrogatory answers (Dkt. 264) duly came on for 

hearing at 2 p.m. on April 5, 2007. Adam Gutride appeared for plaintiffs. Bruce Ericson appeared 

for defendant Wells Fargo Investments LLC. 

For GOOD CAUSE shown, the Court orders that, on or before April 19, 2007, Defendant 

Wells Fargo Investments LLC shall disclose the amount of dealer reallowances (a.k.a. dealer 

concessions) that it received with respect to the Wells Fargo funds during the Class Period. Such 

information shall, if possible, be provided for each Wells Fargo fund and shall be divided by 

calendar year (Mr. Ericson having represented that Wells Fargo Investments will do its best to 

produce such information, if possible, before the settlement conference set for April 16). The Court 

makes no substantive ruling on whether Plaintiffs have the right to recover any of the dealer 

reallowances, but finds that production of such information is reasonably calculated to lead to the 

discovery of admissible evidence. 

IT IS SO ORDERED 

Dated: April __ 2007
