MINUTES OF Motion Hearing held before Judge Christina A. Snyder RE Defendants' Motion to Strike Class Allegations 75 and Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Case 74 . Defendants raise two grounds for striking the class allegations. First, defe ndants argue that the new lead plaintiffs were "recruited" for this litigation by plaintiffs' counsel. Lawyers may solicit clients for litigation, so this argument fails. Second, defendants suggest that the class action allegations sho uld be stricken because the lead plaintiffs are not the "driving force" of this litigation, and instead that plaintiffs' counsel has manipulated the plaintiffs into being a part of this lawsuit. The Court rejects this argument because, among other reasons, defendants have not submitted any evidence calling into question the good faith of plaintiffs or their counsel. Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. The Court dismisses plaintiffs' secon d claim for relief in its entirety WITH PREJUDICE, and the Court also dismisses WITH PREJUDICE plaintiffs' third through seventh claims to the extent they assert claims for fraudulent or deceptive conduct based on affirmative false misrepresentations. Otherwise, defendants' motion to dismiss is denied. Court Reporter: Pam Cotten. (gk)

The case is hereby STAYED for 90 days unless plaintiffs 9; counsel notifies the Court and defense counsel that the stay should be lifted based upon the addition of a new representative plaintiff. If plaintiffs' counsel has not submitted new plaintiffs for the California and New York classes at the conclusion of 90 days, the parties are directed to submit a joint status report.
