ORDER: As of this date, Plaintiffs' counsel in the Parker Action has not informed the Court of whether they object to consolidation of the Parker Action into the Consolidated Derivative Action. Nor has lead counsel in the Consolidated Derivative Action responded to Bruno's counsel's request to be designated as co-lead counsel in the Consolidated Derivative Action. In order for the Court to resolve these matters, plaintiffs' counsel in the Three Derivative Actions are directed to promptly meet and confer on these topics. Thereafter, no later than March 15, 2024, plaintiffs' counsel in the Three Derivative Actions must inform the Court by joint letter whether plaintiffs in the Parker Action object to consolidation of that case into the Consolidated Derivative Action and of the parties' respective positions concerning the designation of lead counsel in the Consolidated Derivative Action. If plaintiffs' counsel in the Three Derivative Actions reach agreement about either-or both-of these topics, the parties are further directed to submit a stipulation to that effect by the same date. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Gary Stein on 3/8/2024) (tg) |
