CLERK'S JUDGMENT, that the motion to dismiss is granted without leave to replead; that lead plaintiffs claim under 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 against Siemens are dismissed pursuant to FRCP 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim, as the Amended Complaint fails to allege facts giving rise to a strong inference of scienter as required under PSLRA; that in the absence of an alleged violation of 10b or Rule 10b-5, lead plaintiff claims against Loscher and Kaeser under 20(a) are dismissed also pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim; and that the complaint is dismissed on these grounds, that the court need not address Siemens alternative arguments in support of its motion to dismiss. (Ordered by Robert C. Heinemann, Clerk of Court on 5/10/2011) (Piper, Francine) (Entered: 05/11/2011)
