March 21, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 796 LETTER addressed to Judge Colleen McMahon from Dan Marmalefsky dated March 21, 2022 re: Time Estimates in Order filed 3/21/2022. Document filed by Brian Bidulka, Blackberry Limited, Thorsten Heins, Steve Zipperstein..(Marmalefsky, Dan)
March 21, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 795 ORDER: The Court, for its rulings on the admissibility of trial exhibits, decides as follows: All entries on the parties' joint exhibit list (Dkt # 791-3, which is appended to this order as Exhibit A) are admitted into evidence. PLAINTIFFS' EXHIBITS- The following Plaintiffs' exhibits are admitted into evidence without objection: as further set forth herein. DEFENDANTS' EXHIBITS- At the final pretrial conference on March 14, 2022, Plaintiffs informed the Court that they were withdrawing their objections to all of Defendants' exhibits listed at Docket Number 792-1, except for the following, as to which the Court rules: as further set forth herein. The Court, for its rulings on Plaintiffs' objections to Defendants' deposition designations, decides as follows: as further set forth herein. As reflected in the Final Pretrial Conference transcript and the record, Defendants have withdrawn their objections to Plaintiffs' deposition designations in light of this Court's in limine order. (See Dkt. Nos. 790, 791-1, 793). The Defendants, by letter dated March 18, 2022, list the objections they preserve for the record. (See Dkt. Nos. 794, 794-2). These objections are preserved. The parties have submitted to the Court estimates of the time that they believe is needed for the examination of witnesses. The estimates approximate 36 hours for plaintiffs and 24 hours for defendants at the high end, which totals 60 hours. At six hours of testimony each trial day, this amount of questioning would consume ten full trial days, though I know we will have a couple of shorter days (certainly on April 13 and 14). I commend the parties on their hard work in paring down this case to its essentials. I will permit 60 hours of witness questioning (including deposition testimony), to be divided at 35 hours for plaintiffs and 25 hours for defendants. Allowing for slippage, I expect to be done with testimony no later than April 28, and hopefully a couple of days earlier than that. I plan to charge the jury no later than May 2, and hopefully at the end of the preceding week. This allows us to give the jurors a realistic estimate of the time required for trial and will, I hope, facilitate jury selection. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 3/21/2022) BY ECF TO ALL COUNSEL (kv)

March 13, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 791 LETTER addressed to Judge Colleen McMahon from Kim E. Miller dated March 13, 2022 re: Second Amended Exhibits for Final Pre-trial Conference.

(Attachments: #1 Exhibit A - Plaintiffs' Second Amended Deposition Designations, #2 Exhibit B - Plaintiffs' Second Amended Trial Exhibit List, #3 Exhibit C - Second Amended Joint Trial Exhibit List).(Miller, Kim)
March 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 790 DECISION ON MOTIONS IN LIMINE terminating #605 Motion in Limine; granting #607 Motion in Limine; terminating #610 Motion in Limine; denying as moot #616 Motion in Limine; granting #619 Motion in Limine; granting #621 Motion in Limine; denying #624 Motion in Limine; denying #627 Motion in Limine; terminating #630 Motion in Limine; denying #633 Motion in Limine; terminating #636 Motion in Limine; denying #639 Motion in Limine; terminating #642 Motion in Limine; denying #645 Motion in Limine; granting #648 Motion in Limine; denying #650 Motion in Limine; granting #653 Motion in Limine; granting #656 Motion in Limine; granting in part and denying in part #658 Motion in Limine; terminating #661 Motion in Limine; granting #663 Motion in Limine; withdrawing #667 Motion in Limine; denying #671 Motion in Limine; granting #672 Motion in Limine; granting #675 Motion in Limine; denying as moot #677 Motion in Limine; denying #681 Motion in Limine; denying #684 Motion in Limine; denying #686 Motion in Limine; denying #689 Motion in Limine; terminating #692 Motion in Limine; denying #695 Motion in Limine; denying #698 Motion in Limine; granting #701 Motion in Limine; denying #704 Motion in Limine; denying #707 Motion in Limine; denying #710 Motion in Limine; granting #715 Motion in Limine. The court, for its rulings on the parties' motions in limine, decides as follows: Motion No. 1: Plaintiffs move to exclude any evidence or argument relating to a defense of advice of counsel. (Docket #642). For the reasons outlined at page 3 of the brief in support of the motion (Docket #643), any such defense has been waived and no testimony or argument concerning same will be permitted. Motion No. 2: Plaintiffs move to exclude testimony from class representatives Mary Dinzik and Todd Cox, evidence or argument "regarding the class representatives," including their failure to testify or absence from the trial. (Docket #645). The motion is denied. Motion No. 3: Plaintiffs move to exclude argument concerning aggregate damages, defendants' ability to pay, and/or the effect of a judgment for plaintiffs. (Docket #648). The motion is granted, for substantially the reasons set forth in the moving brief (see Docket #649), with this exception: assuming the number of outstanding shares is in evidence, defendants may point out to the jury the total amount of damages sought by plaintiffs in this lawsuit. Motion No. 4: Plaintiffs move to limit the cross-examination of their experts by precluding defendants from questioning them about rulings made by other judges in other cases concerning the scope of their expertise. (Docket #653). If the motion is intended to preclude defendants from introducing the rulings of other judges on other Daubert motions, it is granted. Motion No. 5: Plaintiffs move to exclude evidence or argument concerning post-class period changes in generally accepted accounting principles - specifically, changes announced eight months after the close of the class period, to go into effect four years later. (Docket #656). The motion is granted, as any such evidence has little probative value and tremendous unfair prejudicial impact. Motion No. 6: Plaintiffs move to exclude character testimony concerning the three individual defendants and other Blackberry witnesses. (Docket #658). The motion is granted in part and denied in part. Motion No. 7: Plaintiffs move to exclude evidence or argument concerning the SEC's inquiry into Blackberry's Revenue Recognition Practices and its Failure to Pursue Charges against Blackberry. (Docket #663). The motion is granted. Motion No. 8: Plaintiffs move to exclude the testimony of Barbara Stymiest. (Docket #667). By notice dated March 8, 2022 (Docket #721), Plaintiffs indicate that this motion was filed in error and should be withdrawn. It is deemed withdrawn. Motion No. 9: Plaintiffs move to exclude evidence or argument regarding a prior lawsuit brought against Research in Motion in this district (the Playbook Action). (Docket #715). The motion is granted as unopposed; as I suspected, defendants harbored no such intent. Motion No. 10: Plaintiffs move to exclude evidence or argument concerning the dismissal of any claims, theories of liability or the dismissal of former named plaintiffs Cho and Ulug. (Docket #672). Again, the motion is (not surprisingly) unopposed. It is granted. Defendants' Motions Motion No. 1: Defendants move to preclude the admission of analyst and media reports for the truth of their contents, as these third-party statements are hearsay. (Docket #605). The motion is not opposed; the parties simply disagree over when and how often the court should instruct the jury that these reports are simply offered to show that particular information was (1) out in the marketplace, and (2) available and known or should have been known to Defendants - rather than being offered for their truth. When and how often to charge the jury on this point is the province of the court. Motion No. 2: Defendants move to preclude plaintiffs from arguing about Blackberry's corporate status in a manner that might arouse prejudice. (Docket #675). To the unlikely extent that such a motion is necessary, it is granted. Motion No. 3: Defendants move to preclude plaintiffs from introducing deposition testimony from witnesses who are within the subpoena power of the court. (Docket #610). This is, or certainly should be, an unnecessary application; the rules of evidence and of civil procedure will be enforced. Motion No. 4: Defendants move to preclude testimony and argument about unrelated settlements by accounting firms and/or PCAOB examinations. (Docket #636). Decision reserved. Motion No. 5: Defendants move to preclude testimony concerning defendant Heins' post-class period employment history at a company called PowerMat, Inc. (Docket #607). The motion is unopposed, and it granted for substantially the reasons set forth in the brief in support of the motion. (See Docket #608). Motion No. 6: Defendants move to preclude the testimony of certain witnesses (Gelblum and Huff) who were not disclosed prior to the discovery cutoff in January 2020. (Docket #612). In responding to the motion, Plaintiffs coyly make the following statement: "Lead Plaintiffs... respectfully alert the court that they do not oppose Defendants' motion in limine requesting an order excluding the testimony of witnesses Plaintiffs failed to timely disclose in light of the Court's March 9, 2021 Order instructing the parties 'that no witness whose identity was not formally disclosed prior to January 31, 2020 will be allowed to testify."' (Docket #766). Motion No. 7: Defendants move to preclude testimony from non-party Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses that is not based on personal knowledge. (Docket #616). The specific target of this motion is Dana Moorehead of AT&T. The motion is not opposed, and the deposition testimony of Ms. Moorehead is no longer being offered. The motion is, therefore, moot. Motion No. 8: Defendants move to preclude testimony about attorney-client privileged communications. (Docket #619). The motion is granted. Motion No. 9: Defendants move to preclude testimony about their clients' net worth. (Docket #621). The motion is granted, except insofar as it may be deemed to cover evidence and arguments predicated on the individual defendants' compensation from and stock ownership in Blackberry, which is highly relevant to scienter. However, information about their overall net worth is excluded. Motion No. 10: Defendants move to preclude testimony or argument about executives who left Blackberry prior to the class period. (Docket #624). The motion is denied to the extent that it seeks to preclude the introduction of evidence about the success or failure of prior BlackBerry products and the fact (assuming it to be a fact) that several executives were fired for that reason. Motion No. 11: Defendants move to preclude testimony or argument about employees who left Blackberry after the close of the class period. (Docket #627). The motion is denied for substantially the reasons set forth in the brief filed in opposition to the motion. (See Docket #763). Motion No. 12: Defendants seek to preclude evidence and argument regarding criminal proceedings against James Dunham Jr. (Docket #633). The motion is denied. Motion No. 13: Defendants move to preclude references by plaintiffs to any "duty" or "obligation" to disclose "trends" regarding sell-through information and return rates, on the ground that the court dismissed with prejudice Plaintiffs' claim that Blackberry failed to comply with SEC Item 303 of Reg. S-K, 17 C.F.R. 229.303. (Docket #630) Certainly plaintiff is precluded from arguing that Blackberry violated Item 303, because Blackberry is a Canadian entity and so is not bound to comply with Item 303 - and indeed, in its responsive brief, plaintiffs have indicated that they do not intend to make any such argument and have withdrawn the deposition designations that led to the making of this motion. (See Docket #750). Motion No. 14: Defendants move to preclude one of plaintiffs' experts, Dr. Feinstein, from opining that alleged misstatements were material to the price of Blackberry's stock. (Docket #639). The motion is denied. Motion No. 15: Defendants move to exclude the introduction of specific media articles: PX 001, 003, 004, 005, 007, 012, 549,574,577 and 579. (Docket #677). Plaintiffs inform the court that they "are withdrawing the identified exhibits from their exhibit list." (See Docket #747). Therefore, the motion is moot. Motion No. 16: Defendants move to exclude evidence or argument about something they call the Draft Applied Value Power Point, and that Plaintiffs call the Applied Value Presentation. (Docket #650). Whatever you call it, the motion is denied, for substantially the reasons articulated in the brief filed in opposition to the motion. (Docket #738). Motion No. 17: Defendants move to preclude Plaintiffs' expert Thomas Lys from testifying about matters that were not comprehended in his expert report - specifically Blackberry's "valuation of its own inventory, raw materials and supply commitments." (Docket #701). The motion is unopposed. It is, therefore, granted. Motio

March 9, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 725 NOTICE OF APPEARANCE by Melissa Hope Harris on behalf of Todd Cox & Mary Dinzik..(Harris, Melissa)
March 9, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 724 MEMORANDUM FROM THE COURT TO TRIAL COUNSEL: I have some information that I thought it prudent to share with you at this point. In Limine Motions: I spent yesterday reading the briefs filed on the ten motions in limine that were filed by plaintiffs and the twenty-nine motions in limine that were filed by defendants. I expect responsive papers, in the form of short briefs, to be filed by Friday at noon at the latest; please make sure to deliver a hard copy of those papers in my chambers by noon Friday, as well as filing on ECF. Assuming the papers come in on time, you will have your rulings on these evidentiary matters on Friday night. As is my custom with in limine rulings, they will be brief and to the point. The rulings are final; I will not entertain reeargument at the final pretrial conference on Monday or at any time thereafter. And I will accept no more in limine motions so don't bother making any; they will be summarily denied as untimely. Some things you should know right now. For example, I can tell you that Defendants' Motion No. 21 will be denied because it is not a proper motion in limine - it seeks an adjudication of non-liability rather than being addressed to the admissibility of evidence. As to certain others - specifically Defendants' Motions No. 22 and 23 - until Defendants identify each and every bit of designated deposition testimony that falls within the parameters of Motion No. 22, or each and every individual document that they seek to preclude pursuant to Motion No. 23, I cannot possibly make any sort of ruling, and I will not make a general ruling that leaves room for argument during the trial, which wastes the jury's time. I can also tell you that no witness whose identity was not formally disclosed prior to January 31, 2020 will be allowed to testify - both sides apparently hope to offer testimony from such witnesses -- and that the contents of the expert reports as limited by the Daubert rulings constrain the testimony that expert witnesses will be allowed to give. If knowing that cuts down on the need to file a response, the better for your respective clients. Final Pre-Trial Conference: Let me set out the parameters of next week's conference at some length, so no one will be surprised. We will commence at 9:30 AM on Monday. First we will go over the list of witnesses - starting with plaintiffs' witnesses, then defendants' witnesses. As I think I told you, at a civil trial I only expect a witness to testify once, even if both sides are calling that witness. Counsel must be prepared to tell me what each witness will be called to testify about and how long direct is expected to take. While I will consider your estimates, and any estimates about cross examination, in setting time limits, I have already decided that I will allocate a precise number of days for this trial, and I will be dividing time accordingly. I will make those calculations and give you your time limits after the conference. After that we will turn to the exhibits. To the extent that exhibits have not been admitted or precluded in the in limine rulings (a very small subset of your overly large proposed exhibit list), we will go through them exhibit by exhibit. Those to which no objection is lodged will simply be admitted. Those to which objection has been lodged will be the subject of brief argument and an immediate ruling on their admissibility. I would strongly suggest that, between now and Monday, you pare your lists to include only those exhibits that you will be discussing with the jury during your closing argument. Not everything on which experts rely in formulating opinions needs to be admitted into evidence; it simply needs to be available for use on cross examination. Be advised that expert reports will not be admitted into evidence; they may be used for impeachment or refreshment of recollection, but the expert testimony will come from the mouths of the witnesses. Were this a bench trial it would be otherwise. Then we will proceed to the deposition designations of witnesses other than party witnesses (whose deposition testimony is admissible for any purpose). I will rule on each objection to a designation so that we know precisely what deposition testimony is coming in as evidence on someone's case in chief (not for impeachment on cross). To the extent that there are objections to questions in the deposition testimony of witnesses who are not being called to testify live, I will rule on those objections so that appropriate transcripts can be prepared in advance of jury selection. Obviously, you will have to sit there while I read the designated testimony in light of the objection. Please understand that time it takes to read or play deposition testimony (including dealing with any technical glitches) will count toward your time for presenting your case. Given the number of witnesses you propose to call, the number of exhibits you have designated and the amount of deposition testimony you are designating, it appears that this conference will take a very long time indeed. We will begin Monday morning. We will take a short break for lunch. I will have to let the court reporter go at 6 PM, but we will revert at that point to recording the session, and we will obtain transcript of the recording when the court reporters are able to get to it. We will take no more than one half hour for a break at 6 PM; then we will reconvene. If we are not done by 10 PM, you will be expected to be back in my courtroom the next morning at 9:30 AM. However, I have other matters on my calendar on Tuesday, so you will be interwoven with the rest of my calendar (only Monday belongs entirely to you). If we don't finish on Tuesday by 6 PM, we will continue on Wednesday. In other words, you should consider yourselves as being on trial starting on Monday, March 14 and we proceed from day to day until we conclude all of these preliminary matters. And they will be concluded. If some trial counsel have other obligations they cannot change, someone else must step in to replace them. I strongly advise you to spend the time between now and next Monday thinking about how you are really going to try your case in the 15 total trial days, commencing on Friday, April 8 and ending on Tuesday, April 26, that I will allow you. You can and should prune your witness and your exhibit lists to the people you are really going to call and the exhibits you are really going to discuss and emphasize with the jurors ("key exhibits," which you will be expected to designate in advance of the trial). You should be able to get down to a reasonable number of witnesses and amount of deposition testimony. This is actually not such a complicated case; it can easily be tried in the number of days I am allotting for opening statements and the introduction of evidence. Trial days will be April 8, 11, 12, 13, 14 (the 13th and 14th we will only work until 4 PM), 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26 and 27. You will be expected to deliver your closing argument on the morning of Thursday, April 27 and I expect to charge that afternoon. We will take a special verdict on a statement by statement and defendant by defendant basis. Issues for Trial: As I held in denying defendants' motion for summary judgment: "The central triable issue is the issue of whether Blackberry misrepresented the success and profitability of its BB 10 products to the investing public." The Second Circuit held, in affirming Judge Griesa, that mere misjudgments about accounting methodology, without more, would not be sufficient to support a verdict for Plaintiff. That does not make the accounting issue irrelevant, but it does render them non-dispositive. The jury will be advised that they must return a defendants' verdict if all plaintiffs prove is that "sell by" accounting would have better explained Blackberry's financial situation to the investing public. Now that the court has reviewed the challenged public statements against more of the evidence, it has become apparent that this really is, for the most part, a classic securities fraud case. It involves not so much Omicron issues (statement of opinion that are, in certain circumstances, actionable) as alleged misrepresentations or omissions of fact that were contradicted by what Blackberry's principals allegedly knew to be true - issues that are in the case as a result of Plaintiffs' discovery of additional evidence after the dismissal of their original complaint, which is one of the bases on which Judge Griesa granted them leave to amend. Settlement Discussions: I do not know whether the parties are interested in pursuing settlement. I never involve myself in settlement discussions. My senior law clerk, Jim O'Neill - who serves rather more like a law secretary in the New York State Supreme Court - is available to conduct settlement discussions; he has achieved remarkable success at settling extremely complex, bit dollar cases. He will be available while you are here next week; and while I will not halt proceedings to accommodate settlement discussions, if you have an interest in such discussions, we can proceed on two tracks simultaneously. If you have no interest in settlement, so be it. I am here to try cases. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 3/9/2022) BY ECF TO ALL COUNSEL (kv)

March 3, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 604 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to TO ALL COUNSEL IN: Pearlstein v. Blackberry Limited et al. from Judge McMahon dated 3/3/2022 re: I am pleased to report that we have been assigned April 7 (Thursday) as our jury selection date. We will select in my courtroom, which Courtroom 24A it the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse. Revised COVID protocols mean that we can accommodate as many as 40 jurors for jury selection in that room. As soon as we have a jury (and while your trial will not be as long as you think it will be - time limits on your presentations will be discussed at the final pretrial conference -- I anticipate selection will take a while, as we will have a number of opt outs due to the length of the proceeding), we will proceed to opening statements and evidence. Contrary to my usual rules, we will sit five days a week until the trial is concluded. We will start at 9:30 AM each day and we will break at 5 PM unless I have a criminal matter that I must hear at 4:30. The only exception is that we will break on Wednesday and Thursday, April 13 and 14, at 4 PM, and we will not sit on Friday, April 15, which is both Good Friday and the First Seder (conveniently, they coincide this year). We will resume on Monday, April 18. I am leaving the country on Friday, May 13, and we need to conclude the trial (by conclude I mean conclude - as in, reach a verdict) a week earlier than that, so that I can attend to other matters prior to my departure. If you run out of witnesses prior to the end of the trial day, the next words you should be prepared to say are, "We rest." Plan accordingly. Because this is a civil trial, we listen to witnesses once and once only. This means that both sides should be prepared to question a witness fully when s/he takes the stand. I will be assigning you a number of hours for each side to be on its feet questioning, whether on direct or on cross. That is the amount of time you will have. I am a strict timekeeper. It will take you less time than you think to try this case. We will hold our final pre-trial conference on Monday, March 14 starting at 10 AM. At that conference, we will go over the witness lists, and I will rule on all your objections to the introduction of exhibits. It is my custom to pre-admit exhibits so that we do not consume jury time with ritualistic matters that can easily be resolved prior to trial. I rather imagine that you have "over-objected" to your opponent's exhibits - everyone does, though it is a practice I view with distaste -- but be advised that you must be prepared to argue every objection, in 25 words or less, on March 14. Between now and then, please go over your objections and eliminate any frivolous ones, because you will not be leaving the courthouse for any reason until we are quite done with rulings on objections, and maintaining frivolous objections could keep you here well into the evenmg. Each side will have one half hour (30 minutes) for opening statements. You can factor that into your thinking now because at 30 minutes you will be asked to take your seat. If you start to argue your case during your opening, I will also ask you to be seated. Tailor your remarks accordingly. I will decide on the length of closing arguments after hearing the evidence, but you are unlikely to have more than one hour. All other matters we will take up on March 14. I look forward to seeing you then. ( Final Pretrial Conference set for 3/14/2022 at 10:00 AM before Judge Colleen McMahon.) (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 3/3/2022) BY ECF TO ALL COUNSEL (kv)

February 2, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 577 READY FOR TRIAL ORDER, This case is now ready for trial. Because I inherited this case from the docket of a deceased colleague, the parties did not prepare this case for trial in accordance with my normal rules. As a result, they filed summary judgment motions without simultaneously filing a joint pre-trial order. The parties are hereby ORDERED to prepare and file a Joint PreTrial Order in accordance with this court's rules. The order is to be docketed no later than Friday, February 25, 2022. Additionally, the parties are hereby ORDERED to provide my deputy clerk, Mariela de Jesus, with a proposed witness list and an estimate of the length of the trial by next Tuesday, February 8, 2022. The court will almost certainly set its own time limits for this trial, but when I do that I like to have the parties' estimate of how long they think the trial will take. The court intends to ask the Clerk to assign us a jury selection date during the first two weeks of April. As this case is nearly ten years old, I imagine we will qualify for priority in the selection process. Of course, I do not have the power to assign a firm trial date because of the continuing COVID crisis, so we must abide by the decision of the Trial Assignment team. But the parties should be preparing for trial starting in the first two weeks of April. None of these dates is negotiable. None of these dates will be adjourned. The age of this case is such that it needs to be resolved as soon as possible. If the parties are interested in talking settlement, we will facilitate that. However, settlement talks will not delay trial preparation. (Pretrial Order due by 2/25/2022.) (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 2/2/2022) BY ECF TO ALL COUNSEL (kv)
January 25, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 576 ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT STEVE ZIPPERSTEIN'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION re: #574 MOTION for Reconsideration re; #573 Memorandum & Opinion,,,,, . filed by Steve Zipperstein. Zipperstein's motion fails to satisfy the standard for granting reconsideration. The Court has already explained in its decision that scienter is a question for the jury in this case. (See Dkt. No. 573, at 18-19); see also In re Celestica Inc. Sec. Litig., 2014 WL 4160216, at *10 ("The fact intensive nature of a sci enter inquiry often militates against granting judgment as a matter of law"). The question of whether Zipperstein acted with scienter is a material issue of fact that is disputed. (See e.g., Dkt. No. 547,J,J 151, 153, 154). While Zipperstein claims that the Court "overlooked" evidence that shows he is a distinguished professional who acted in good faith and not with scienter, the Court did not overlook this evidence. Unfortunately for Zipperstein, there is evidence that goes the other way. For example, Plaintiffs point to evidence that Zipperstein drafted Blackberry's denial of the Detwiler report (see Dkt. No. 546-22), which included statements that return rates of the Zl0 devices were below forecasts, but Plaintiffs contend that Zipperstein knew the statements were untrue because he had previously received a presentation that the global return rate for the Zl0 was higher than that of the Blackberry 7, above target levels, and "trending" upward. (See e.g., Dkt. No. 547 at,i 151 (citing Pl. Ex. 182, BBPearlstein_00859742)). The jury will make the ultimate determination on scienter. This constitutes the opinion and order of the court. It is a written opinion. The Clerk is directed to close the motion at Docket Number 574. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 1/25/2022) BY ECF TO ALL COUNSEL (kv)

January 3, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 573 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND DENYING DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO STRIKE re: #557 MOTION to Strike Document No. #547 . filed by Blackberry Limited, Steve Zipperstein, Brian Bidulka, Thorsten Heins, #506 MOTION for Summary Judgment . filed by Blackberry Limited, Steve Zipperstein, Brian Bidulka, Thorsten Heins. For the foregoing reasons, the Defendant's motion to strike is DENIED, and Defendants' motion for summary judgment is DENIED. The parties will be contacted by the court when a trial date is assigned; how long we will continue on centralized scheduling is a function of pandemic related developments. Criminal trials must and will take precedence as long as the court has to request trial dates from the Clerk; and criminal cases will continue to take precedence even after the court is able to resume control over its calendar. Because of the age of the case, once I get control of my own trial calendar, I will prioritize finding a place for it; but right now, my best guess is that this case will go to trial in September or October of 2022. This constitutes the opinion and order of the court. It is a written opinion. The Clerk is directed to close the motions at Docket Numbers 506 and 557.

September 10, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 569 ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS' UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF CLASS ACTION #563 Motion to Approve. 1. The motion is GRANTED. 2. The proposed form and content of the Notice of Pendency of Class Action (the "Notice") (see Miller Deel., Ex. A) comports with the mandate of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(c)(2)(B), in that it plainly states the nature of the action, the definition of the Class certified, the Class's claims, issues or defenses, and advises each member of the Class that: (i) the Court will exclude from the Class any member who requests exclusion by a specified date; (ii) the judgement, whether favorable or not, will include all members who do not request exclusion; and (iii) any member who does not request exclusion may, if the member desires, enter an appearance through counsel. The form and substance of the Notice is therefore approved. (As further set forth in this Order.) This Order may be modified by the Court upon motion by either or both Parties, for good cause shown.

September 9, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 481 LETTER addressed to TO ALL COUNSEL IN: Pearlstein v. Blackberry Limited, 13 Civ. 7060 (CM)(KHP) from Judges McMahon and Parker dated 9/9/2020 re: In an effort to expedite this very old matter, and in recognition of the fact that careful attention could not be paid over the past few months, we have consulted and made the following decisions: 1. Chief Judge McMahon will handle the class certification motion rather than having Magistrate Judge Parker deliver a Report and Recommendation. The briefing schedule set by Magistrate Judge Parker, which calls for briefing to be completed by September 28, will remain in place. Please do not ask for any extensions or adjournments. None will be granted. There will be no oral argument unless Chief Judge McMahon decides that one is necessary; the October 8 date set by Magistrate Judge Parker for oral argument is cancelled. 2. Briefing on the summary judgment motions will be deferred until the class certification motion has been decided. Once that happens, Chief Judge McMahon will set the briefing schedule, and it will likely be a short schedule. (The following hearing(s) was terminated: Oral Argument). (rjm)

P. 30(b)(3) and (b)(4), that all depositions in this action may be taken via telephone, video conference, or other remote means, and may be recorded by any reliable audio or audiovisual means. This order does not dispense with the requirements set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(5), including the requirement that ("[u]nless the parties stipulate otherwise") the deposition be "conducted before an officer appointed or designated under Rule 28," and that the deponent be placed under oath by that officer. In light of the current pandemic, the court reporter may attend the deposition and administer the oath via the same remote means (e.g., telephone conference call or video conference) used to connect all other remote participants, and so long as all participants (including the officer) can clearly hear and be heard by all other participants. It is further ORDERED, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.

October 3, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 372 DECISION AND ORDER ACCEPTING JUDGE PARKER'S ORDER REGARDING ADDITIONAL OBJECTIONS TO BLACKBERRY'S CLAWBACK DOCUMENTS: Accordingly, the above listed email chains are properly redacted. 1. Email chain labeled BBPearlstein 00763769: This email chain is properly withheld. The chain concerns another upcoming announcement and the contents thereof. Two in-house counsel are involved in the exchange. This Court agrees that the primary purpose of the communication is the request for and receipt of legal advice; any additional context or non-legal communication cannot be distinguished from the legal. See Pearlstein, 2019 WL 1259382, at *12. 11. Email chain labeled BBPearlstein 01789474: This email chain is properly redacted. The un-redacted email is a possible news release sent from in-house counsel. The redacted email is also sent from in-house counsel to three additional attorneys - in-house counsel and two outside counsel. Any "context" within the request for advice cannot be severed as the predominant purpose is to seek legal advice regarding the press release. Additionally, as Judge Parker has reserved her ruling on whether or not Defendants should be required to log communications with outside counsel going forward, this Court need not address this request. For the reasons outlined above, this Court finds no reason to depart from Judge Parker's Order. This constitutes the written opinion and order of the court.

The objections of Cho and Ulug are, therefore, overruled. The recommendation in the Report is accepted and Defendants' motion to dismiss the claims of Ulug and Cho on the ground that Judge Griesa's order was final as to them, notwithstanding the fact that all other putative class members were given permission to file an amended complaint, is GRANTED. So, for the reasons stated in the Report, is the motion seeking a declaration that Cho and Ulug cannot assert claims against Defendant Zipperstein in the Second Amended Complaint. This constitutes the written opinion and order of the court. The Clerk of Court should close the motion at Docket Number 245. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 9/20/2019) (mml)

August 2, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 338 REPORT & RECOMMENDATION REGARDING BLACKBERRYS MOTION FOR PARTIAL JUDGEMENT ON THE PLEADINGS re: #245 MOTION for Judgment on the Pleadings . filed by Blackberry Limited, Steve Zipperstein, Brian Bidulka, Thorsten Heins. For the foregoing reasons, this Court respectfully recommends that Defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings against Cho and Ulug be granted. A party is entitled to judgment on the pleadings when they establish that no material issue of fact remains to be resolved and that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Verragio, 2017 WL 4125368, at *4. The Second Circuit has stated that named plaintiffs in putative class actions are treated differently than unnamed class members for the purposes of notices of appeal. As Cho and Ulug do not appear on Lead Plaintiffs' notice of appeal, they did not appeal the previous judgement. Cho and Ulug are also not beneficiaries of Lead Plaintiffs' successful appeal. As such, the earlier dismissal on the merits, principles of res judicata and the law of the case doctrine forecloses their continued pursuit of their claims against Original Defendants. Cho and Ulug's claims against Zipperstein similarly are barred under the principles of res judicata and law of the case because the non-appealed dismissal was a judgment on the merits, Zipperstein was in privity with Original Defendants, and Cho and Ulugs claims against Zipperstein arise from the same nucleus of facts. Objections to R&R due by 8/16/2019 (Signed by Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker on 8/2/2019) (ks)

January 11, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 252 ORDER: This case has been placed on the court's suspense calendar pending the resolution of issues relating to class certification, which are presently being decided in another case by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. However, it seems that there is a pending motion for partial judgment on the pleadings, which was filed before the court placed the case on suspense, and of which I was unaware. Having reviewed that motion, I am sending it to Magistrate Judge Parker for a Report and Reference. If Judge Parker believes that the interests of justice would be served by deciding this motion now, rather than waiting for the class certification motion to be ready for decision, then I will order that the case be placed back on the Ready Docket for the limited purpose of allowing her to address the motion.

September 13, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 81 OPINION re: #68 MOTION to Amend/Correct #42 Amended Complaint, filed by Todd Cox & Mary Dinzik: Before this court is a motion to amend, originally sought as part of plaintiff's motion for reconsideration of this court's March 13, 2015 opinion. ECF Nos. 54, 56. The court reconsiders plaintiff's motion to amend pursuant to the Second Circuit's August 24, 2016 mandate, which vacated this court's denial of plaintiff's request to amend his complaint. ECF No. 65. The court grants plaintiff leave to amend as to his Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 claim because the claim was not filed with undue delay and is not futile under a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) analysis. The court denies plaintiff leave to amend with respect to his SEC Item 303 claim because amendment would be futile. For the reasons given above, the court concludes that plaintiff's motion to amend the complaint with respect to the SEC Item 303 claim is denied, but that the motion to amend the complaint with respect to plaintiff's Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 claim is granted. This Opinion resolves Docket Number 68. (Signed by Judge Thomas P. Griesa on 9/13/2017) (jwh)
