LETTER addressed to Judge Robert W. Sweet from Daniel W. Krasner dated
2/9/2009 re: We are counsel to Gilles Bransbourg
("Bransbourg"), one of the plaintiffs in
the above referenced action. We write concerning the State of Michigan
Retirement Systems' ("SMRS") filing of opposition papers to Bransbourg's motion for reconsideration of the Court's
January 5, 2009 Order and Opinion (the "Motion"). Bransbourg filed the Motion in this case via ECF on
January 20,2009 and, pursuant to this Court's
January 23,2009 Order (Dkt. 32) (the
"Order"), counsel for defendants timely filed responsive papers via
ECF on February 3,2009. Bransbourg was prepared to
file his reply in further support of the Motion on February 10,2009. On February 6,2009,
however, counsel for SMRS filed opposition papers to the Motion. The untimely
tiling by SMRS is apparently predicated the "three extra day rule"
under Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d). We have conferred with counsel for defendants who
do not object to our filing of one set of our reply papers on February 13,2009, five business days after SMRS' filing on February
6, 2009. Accordingly, we respectfully request that the Court approve the
foregoing agreement between counsel for defendants and Bransboug
that be deemed timely if filed by February 13, 2009. ENDORSEMENT: SO

OPINION
According to Bransbourg, in appointing SMRS lead
plaintiff to represent all purchasers of Bear Stearns' securities, including
members of the Bransbourg Class, the Court failed
to address Bransbourg's contention that SMRS lacks
standing to assert claims on behalf of the Bransbourg
Class. Bransbourg argues that SMRS's lack of
standing to interpose claims on behalf of the Bransbourg
class renders it prima facie inadequate to serve as lead plaintiff for the Bransbourg action, and, therefore, the Court's decision
constituted legal error. Without considering whether Bransbourg
is correct that SMRS lacks standing to assert claims on its behalf, the Court
is satisfied that there is no requirement under either the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or the case law in this Circuit for a lead
plaintiff to possess "standing to sue on every available cause of
action." Hevesi v. Citigroup Inc., 366 F.3d
70, 82 (2d Cir. 2004) ("[B]ecause the PSLRA
mandates that courts must choose a party who has, among other things, the
largest financial stake in the outcome of the case, it is inevitable that, in
some cases, the lead plaintiff will not have standing to sue on every
claim."); see In re Fuwei Films Sec. Litig., 247 F.R.D. 432, 438 (S.D.N.Y. 2008) ("[T]he
Second Circuit has held that there is no requirement that a court select as
lead plaintiff only a movant with standing to
assert every possible claim against every defendant, nor does the presumptive
lead plaintiff fail to satisfy the typicality prong if he or she cannot
assert every possible claim."); In re Initial Public Offering Sec. Litig., 214 F.R.D. 117, 123 (S.D.N.Y. 2002) (finding that
any suggestion "that the court should cobble together a lead plaintiff
group that has standing to sue on all possible causes of action has been
rejected repeatedly by courts in this Circuit and undermines the purpose of
the PSLRA"). Nor does Bransbourg point to any
controlling decisions or pertinent facts that the Court overlooked in its
January 5, 2009 Opinion consolidating his case with the other securities
actions and appointing SMRS lead plaintiff. Concluding that "[t]he
claims asserted in the Bransbourg Action are
identical to those asserted in the other Securities Actions and are based on
the same statements made by Defendants during the same class period,"
the Court found consolidation appropriate. Jan. 5, 2009 Opinion at *7.
Because Bransbourg's motion is simply a rehash of
arguments that were made in opposition to consolidation, the motion for
reconsideration is denied. ii. Zicherman's Motion: Zicherman seeks reversal of the Court's consolidation of
this action with the other securities actions based on the Court's statement
in the January 5, 2009 Opinion that "Plaintiff Zicherman
alleges a class period limited to the week of March 10, 2008." Jan. 5,
2009 Opinion at *2. This statement is not an accurate description of Zicherman's claim, which is broughtas
an individual action, rather than a class action, and the January 5, 2009
Opinion and Consolidation Order shall be amended to reflect Zicherman's action as such. The error pointed to by Zicherman does not, however, warrant reconsideration of
the Court's determination to consolidate his action with the other Securities
Actions. In consolidating Zicherman's action, the
Court concluded that consolidation was appropriate because "all of the
cases alleging violations of the federal securities laws involve common
questions of law and fact sufficient to warrant consolidation." Jan. 5,
2009 Opinion at *6. The fact that Zicherman brings
his claim as an individual and not on behalf of a class does not alter this
conclusion, and therefore his motion for reconsideration is denied. As to Zicherman's request that the Consolidation Order be
additionally amended to specifically list his rights as an individual
plaintiff, the Court does not find such further amendment necessary at this
time. It is so ordered. (Signed by Judge Robert W. Sweet on 7/15/2009) Filed
