STIPULATION RE CONTINUANCE OF CMCS AND 

EXTENDING TIME TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINTS

CASE NOS. 16-CV-04710-RS, 16-CV-04915-RS

-1- 

WHEREAS, the complaints in the above-captioned related shareholder class actions set 

forth claims under the federal securities laws that are subject to the requirements of the Private 

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), including those set forth in 15 U.S.C. 

§ 78u-4; 

WHEREAS, the PSLRA requires that, after filing a securities class action, the plaintiff 

must give notice of the action to allow other interested shareholders the opportunity to file 

motions for appointment as lead plaintiff (see 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(a)(3)) and, thereafter, that the 

Court appoint a lead plaintiff; 

WHEREAS, on October 17, 2016, multiple movants filed competing motions seeking to 

be appointed lead plaintiff and to consolidate the Bristow and Patel actions (Dkt. Nos. 13, 17, 18, 

22, 26); 

WHEREAS, the hearing regarding the lead plaintiff motions is scheduled for December 

8, 2016; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the August 18, 2016 Order Setting Initial Case Management 

Conference in the Bristow action, a Case Management Conference was scheduled for November 

17, 2016 and subsequently continued to November 18, 2016 pursuant to the Clerk’s Notice 

issued November 1, 2016; 

WHEREAS, prior to reassignment to this Court, a Case Management Conference in the 

Patel action was set for November 29, 2016; 

WHEREAS, to avoid unnecessary expenditure of judicial resources or effort by the 

parties and the Court, counsel for plaintiffs in the Bristow and Patel actions and defendants have 

agreed (1) that defendants need not respond to the Bristow and Patel complaints or the complaint 

in any action consolidated into this action, other than an amended or consolidated complaint or a 

complaint designated as the operative complaint after the appointment of lead plaintiff; and (2) to 

continue the Initial Case Management Conferences in the Bristow and Patel actions and 

associated deadlines until after a lead plaintiff has been appointed to represent the alleged class. 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and among 

counsel for the undersigned parties, subject to approval of the Court, as follows:
