Filing 367 CLERK'S JUDGMENT That for the reasons stated in the Court's Opinion and Order dated March 28, 2011, the motions to dismiss submitted in both actions are granted; and final judgment is entered in both the Derivative Action, 07 Civ. 9696, and Lambrecht v. ONeal, 09 Civ. 8259, dismissing the complaints with prejudice. (Signed by Clerk of Court Ruby Krajick on 3/31/11) (Attachments: #1 notice of right to appeal)Filed In Associated Cases: 1:07-cv-09633-JSR, 1:07-cv-09696-JSR-JLC, 1:09-cv-08259-JSR(ml) |
Filing 366 OPINION AND ORDER. #100143 Accordingly, the Court concludes that demand in the Derivative Action was not excused, and that the BofA Board did not wrongfully refuse Lambrecht's demands. Having concluded that both actions fail on these threshold issues, it follows that both complaints must be dismissed in their entirety. The Court therefore grants the motions to dismiss submitted in both actions, and instructs the Clerk of the Court to enter final judgment in both the Derivative Action, 07 Civ. 9696, and Lambrecht v. O'Neal, 09 Civ. 8259, dismissing the complaints with prejudice. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 3/28/11) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:07-cv-09633-JSR, 1:07-cv-09696-JSR-JLC, 1:09-cv-08259-JSR(rjm) Modified on 3/31/2011 (ajc). |

Filing 356 ORDER: By letter dated June 1, 2010, the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Delaware asked the parties about the status of the stay in the above-captioned cases, and the parties informed her that the current stay is in effect only until July 19, 2010. However, the Court's Memorandum Order of March 9, 2010 set that date in the expectation that it would provide sufficient time for the Delaware Supreme Court to "indicate [whether] it will address" the certified question, 3/09/10 Mem. Order, which it has now done. Although no party has asked for a further extension, it would be this Court's view that, now that the Delaware Supreme Court has accepted certification, this Court would likely rule favorably on any application of any party to extend the stay until after the Delaware Supreme Court issues its decision. Counsel for the parties are hereby directed to furnish a copy of this Order to the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Delaware. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 6/4/2010) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:07-cv-09633-JSR, 1:07-cv-09696-JSR-DFE(jfe) Modified on 6/7/2010 (jfe). |

In order to allow the Delaware Supreme Court time to address -- or to indicate that it will address -- this question, if it so chooses, but so as not to delay indefinitely these on going actions in federal court, the Court hereby stays all proceedings in these actions, unless otherwise explicitly ordered by the Court,until July 19, 2010. So Ordered (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 3/9/2010) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:07-cv-09633-JSR-JLC, 1:07-cv-09696-JSR-DFE(js) . |

Filing 326 ORDER AWARDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES; that this Order Awarding Attorneys' Fees and Expenses incorporates by reference the definitions in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated August 12, 2009 (the "Settlement Stipulation") and all terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Settlement. The Court has jurisdiction to enter this Order Awarding Attorneys' Fees and Expenses, and over the subject matter of the Action and all parties to the Action, including all Settlement Class Members. Notice of Bond Counsel's application for attorneys' fees and reimbursement of expenses was given to all Settlement Class Members who could be identified with reasonable effort. The form and method of notifying the Settlement Class of the motion for attorneys' fees and expenses met the requirements of due process, Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Section 27 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 77z-1(a)(7), as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and constituted the best notice practicable under the circumstances, and constituted due and sufficient notice to all persons and entities entitled thereto. Plaintiffs' Counsel are hereby awarded attorneys' fees in the amount of 15% of the $150 million Settlement Amount, with interest thereon at the same net rate as earned by the Settlement Fund from the date the Settlement Fund was funded to the date of payment, which sum the Court finds to be fair and reasonable, and $507,794.07 in reimbursement of litigation expenses, which expenses shall be paid from the Settlement Fund. The award of attorneys' fees shall be allocated among Plaintiffs' Counsel in a manner which, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, fairly compensates Plaintiffs' Counsel for their respective contributions in the prosecution and settlement of the Action. Notwithstanding paragraph 29 of the Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement and Providing for Notice dated August 21, 2009, Bond Counsel are directed to hold back payment of 50% of the attorneys' fees awarded by this Court until distribution of the Settlement proceeds to Claimants has been very substantially completed. In the event that the Settlement is terminated or does not become Final in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Stipulation, this Order shall be rendered null and void to the extent provided by the Settlement Stipulation and shall be vacated in accordance with the Settlement Stipulation. There is no just reason for delay in the entry of this Order, and immediate entry by the Clerk of the Court is expressly directed. Additional relief as set forth in this Order.

Filing 169 ORDER REGARDING COORDINATION OF ACTIONS Bond Plaintiffs will not seek remand of the Bond Action to state court. Except as set forth in paragraphs 6 and 7, below, the Bond Action shall proceed on a coordinated basis for all pre-trial purposes with the Consolidated Securities Action. Lead Plaintiff shall serve as Lead Plaintiff with regard to the Consolidated Securities Action and the Bond Action. The authority of Co-Lead Counsel in the Consolidated Securities Action set forth in the Court's March 12, 2008 Order entered in the Consolidated Securities Action shall extend to the Bond Action. Bond Plaintiffs and Bond Counsel shall have primary responsibility for prosecuting all claims on behalf of investors in Merrill Lynch bonds and investors in Merrill Lynch preferred shares that are identified in the Bond Action but not the Consolidated Securities Action, including with respect to filing pleadings, motions and briefs, subject to the supervision and authority of Lead Plaintiff and Co-Lead Counsel. Lead Plaintiff shall serve as Lead Plaintiff with regard to the Consolidated Securities Action and the Bond Action. Within five (5) days of the Court's entering of an Order deciding the pending motions 10 dismiss the Amended Complaint in the Consolidated Securities Action, the parties in the Bond Action will confer regarding a proposed schedule for the filing of an amended complaint (if any) in the Bond Action and for the time for Defendants to answer, move or otherwise respond to the operative pleading. Defendants' time to answer, move or otherwise respond to the current complaint in the Bond Action is adjourned until further order of the Court. To the extent discovery is permitted in the Consolidated Securities Action, the Bond Action will proceed along the same schedule. The parties in the Bond Action shall participate in any such discovery that takes place in the Consolidated Action, regardless of any motions to dismiss that may be pending in the Bond Action. Should any motions to dismiss be filed in the Bond Action, those motions shall not result in any stay of discovery or otherwise of the Consolidated Securities Action provided that discovery is otherwise permitted to proceed in the Consolidated Securities Action. To the extent discovery in the Consolidated Securities Action is permitted, the deadlines set forth in the Court's October 23, 2008 Order shall apply to the Bond Action. No party in the coordinated actions shall seek any extensions of such deadlines on the basis of the filing of an amended complaint (if any) in the Bond Action, the Court's adjournment of Defendants' time to answer, move or otherwise respond to the complaint in the Bond Action or the filing of any motions to dismiss in the Bond Action. Defendants reserve all rights and defenses regarding the merits and coordination of the Bond Action and Consolidated Securities Action. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 12/3/08) (mme) |

Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Jed S. Rakoff: Telephone Conference held on 10/27/2008. (tro) |
Filing 125 ORDER: At an in-court conference earlier today, October 23, 2008, in the Derivative Action, 07 Civ. 9696, the Court indicated its intention to resolve all motions to dismiss in all three Actions (i.e., the Securities Action, the Derivative Action, and the ERISA Action) by no later than February 17, 2009, and then to have all parties embark on consolidated discovery in all three Actions, with such discovery to be completed no later than October 20, 2009, with a likely trial date of sometime in February, 2010. (Certain limited discovery in some of the Actions, related to injunctive relief or other special purposes, may possibly occur prior to February 17, 2009, a matter on which the Court will shortly be receiving papers from the parties.) If any counsel in either the Securities Action, 07 Civ. 9633, or the ERISA Action, 07 Civ. 10268, objects to any of the above-underscored dates, such counsel should convene a conference call with the Court and other affected parties by no later than Thursday, October 30, 2008 and the Court will consider such objections and issue a further order if necessary. Independently, counsel in the ERISA case should arrange to call the Court by no later than Monday, October 27, 2008 to discuss motions to dismiss related to that Action. The previous referral of these Actions to Magistrate Judge Eaton for all pre-trial purposes is hereby modified and clarified as follows: All discovery matters will remain referred to Magistrate Judge Eaton, including any motions or applications related solely to discovery. The Magistrate Judge, however, will not have the authority to extend the October 20, 2009 date, now set for completion of all discovery. All other motions or applications of any kind whatever must first be brought to the undersigned's attention through a joint conference call with the Court and affected parties, at which time the Court will determine whether the motion or application is best resolved by this Court or should be referred to the Magistrate Judge.
