Filing 233 ORDER CONSOLIDATING ACTIONS FOR ALL PURPOSES WITH PREVIOUSLY-FILED ACTIONS, PLACING THESE TWO LATE-FILED ACTIONS ON THE SAME DISCOVERY SCHEDULE AS THE PENDING ACTIONS, AND BARRING THE DUPLICATION OR REOPENING OF COMPLETED DISCOVERY OR RULINGS: These cases are consolidated for all purposes with In re Signet Jewelers Limited Securities Litigation, 16 Civ. 6728 (CM). No further filings will be accepted under these civil action numbers. All filings must be made in In Re Signet, as further set forth herein. The Clerk of Court is directed to close these docket numbers administratively so that no further filings can be made under the 2019 docket numbers. The parties to these new actions are on the same schedule as the other parties. Fact discovery ended on September 13, 2019, and it will not be reopened, so these plaintiffs will have to use the discovery already taken and are bound by rulings already made. Expert discovery ends on December 6, 2019, and it will not be extended to accommodate these late-comers. Having waited this long to join the party, these new plaintiffs come to the case as it stands. There will be no extension of deadlines to accommodate them, no reopening of any matter already concluded. The defendants' answer to the Fifth Amended Complaint in In Re Signet will be deemed applicable to these newly filed complaints unless Defendants wish to file a supplemental answer, in which case they must do so by November 8, 2019. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 10/28/2019) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:16-cv-06728-CM-SDA, 1:19-cv-09916-CM, 1:19-cv-09917-CM(mro) |
Minute Entry for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Stewart D. Aaron: Telephone Conference held on 10/24/2019. (kl) |
Filing 232 ORDER denying #220 Letter Motion for Conference. Pending before the Court is a Letter Motion by Defendants to compel non-party Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC ("Cohen Milstein") to comply with Defendants' subpoena issued on September 12, 2019 (the "Subpoena") seeking communications between Cohen Milstein and any media company regarding the Jock litigation. (Def. Letter Motion, ECF No. 220.) For the reasons set forth below, Defendants' Letter Motion is DENIED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Stewart D. Aaron on 10/24/2019) (kl) |
Filing 231 SEALED DOCUMENT placed in vault.(mhe) |
Filing 230 ORDER: Defendant has objected to so much of the September 5, 2019 order of Magistrate Judge Aaron as required it to produce, or decline to allow Defendant to claw back, certain documents that Judge Aaron concluded, after in camera review, were not subject to the attorney client privilege, either because of the nature of the communications contained therein or because the privilege had been waived. Defendant also objects to Judge Aaron's legal conclusion concerning the privileged nature of communications to which both attorneys and third party consultants who were not attorneys (public relations firms) were party. I affirm Judge Aaron's order in all respects, as further set forth in this Order. Judge Aaron generously granted the parties time to meet and confer about documents that he had not yet reviewed, but that were being withheld by Signet notwithstanding the fact that they were copied to Ogilvy & Mather and/or Joele Frank. I assume that, now that his earlier order has been affirmed, Defendant will abandon its misguided efforts to withhold documents that do not fall within what this court deems to be the attorney-client privilege.

Filing 216 TEMPORARY SEALING ORDER: The court has today filed under seal a copy of a decision affirming in its entirety the order of The Hon. Stewart Aaron, U.S.M.J., which directed the production of certain documents by Defendants in these consolidated securities fraud actions. A redacted copy of the order has been publicly filed. The redactions discuss the text of the email chain that was the subject of the appeal. As I have ordered the document produced, and affirmed that any privilege was waived, I believe the unredacted version of the opinion should be unsealed and be publicly available. I will order the unredacted version unsealed on Friday, October 11 at 12 noon unless I am convinced that there is some further remedy available to Defendants that would necessitate continued sealing. If Defendants have anything to say, they must file their request for more permanent sealing by Thursday, October 10, at 10 AM (in deference to Yom Kippur, should any counsel be observing the day, I am not requiring a filing on Wednesday). If Defendants seek further sealing, Plaintiffs have until 10 AM on Friday, October 11 to make their position known. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 10/7/2019) (mml) |

Filing 110 ORDER denying as moot #89 Motion to Dismiss the Third Amended Complaint; denying without prejudice #101 Motion to Dismiss the Fourth Amended Complaint; and granting #108 Letter Motion for Leave to File the Fifth Amended Complaint. In the Court's judgment, Defendants' primary argument in opposition to Plaintiff's request to file another amended complaint - futility - is better addressed in the context of Defendants' motion to dismiss, with full briefing. Defendants' other arguments in opposition to the request for leave to amend are unpersuasive. Accordingly, the motion for leave to amend is GRANTED. The Court, however, agrees with Defendants that it would be better to file new motion papers altogether than to file supplemental papers. Accordingly, Plaintiff shall file the Fifth Amended Complaint by March 22, 2018; Defendants shall renew their motion to dismiss by March 30, 2018; Plaintiff shall file its opposition to the motion to dismiss by April 9, 2018; and Defendants shall file their reply by April 13, 2018. The parties may not make new arguments in their motion papers, except to the extent that they pertain to the amendment of the Complaint. To ensure that the parties heed that limitation, they shall file, at the same time as their motion papers, a declaration attaching a redline showing the differences between the prior brief and the new brief.

Filing 100 ORDER re: #97 , #98 , and #99 Responses to the Court's Order To Show Cause. As all parties agree that Aydin v. Signet Jewelers Ltd. et al., 17-CV-9853, should be consolidated with this action, it is hereby consolidated for all purposes. The PSLRA notice issued by counsel for the Aydin Plaintiffs is hereby vacated, and Lead Counsel is authorized to issue the proposed corrective notice. The Clerk of Court shall close 17-CV-9583; all future filings shall be made in this case. Defendants shall file any motion to dismiss the Fourth Amended Consolidated Complaint no later than January 26, 2018; any opposition shall be filed by February 23, 2018; and any reply shall be filed by March 9, 2018. The parties are granted up to 40 pages for their principal briefs; and Defendants are granted up to 15 pages for their reply. Although the Court believes that counsel for the Aydin Plaintiffs should have alerted the Court to the filing of the Aydin Complaint and preemptively explained their view why the case was not related (prior to the filing of the Fourth Amended Consolidated Complaint), the Court declines to impose sanctions. Finally, in light of the foregoing, the Court sees no reason for the conference on January 9, 2018. Accordingly, the conference is hereby cancelled. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M.

If Plaintiffs do amend, by three (3) weeks after the amended complaint is filed, Defendants shall: (1) file an answer; (2) file a new motion to dismiss; or (3) submit a letter to the Court, copying Plaintiffs, stating that they rely on the previously filed motion to dismiss.

It is further ORDERED that if no amended complaint is filed, Plaintiffs shall, as the Court previously ordered (Docket No. 85), serve any opposition to the motion to dismiss by January 19, 2018.

Any motions to serve as lead plaintiffs and lead counsel shall be filed by July 5, 2017. It is further ORDERED that opposition to any motion for appointment of lead plaintiff and lead counsel shall be filed by July 19, 2017.

Finally, it is hereby ORDERED that a conference shall be held on August 1, 2017, at 3 p.m. in Courtroom 1105 of the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York to consider any motions for appointment of lead plaintiff and lead counsel The Clerk of court is directed to consolidate 16-CV-6728, 17-CV-2845, and 17-CV-2846 under case number 16-CV-6728, and to close 17-CV-2845 and 17-CV-2846, and as further set forth herein.

Filing 54 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER re: 51 LETTER MOTION for Leave to File Third Amended Complaint addressed to Judge Jesse M. Furman from Jeremy A. Lieberman dated April 21, 2017 in 16cv6728. Upon review of the parties' submissions, Lead Plaintiffs' motion is DENIED, substantially for the reasons set forth in IFRRS's letter. Thus, the Court adheres to its prior conclusions and denies Lead Plaintiffs' motion for leave to amend the operative Second Amended Complaint. Instead, Lead Plaintiffs shall republish notice in this action to reflect the asserted class and class periods in the Second Amended Complaint, after which the Court will revisit the question of who should be appointed as lead plaintiff and lead counsel under the PSLRA. Typically, plaintiffs are required to publish PSLRA notice no more than twenty days after a complaint is filed. See 15 U.S.C. 78u-4(a)(3)(A). Taking its cue from that provision, the Court orders that, no later than May 24, 2017, Lead Plaintiffs shall advise the Court in writing of the date and manner in which they published notice. As of this Order, no motion for consolidation has been filed, but the Court accepted the two new cases as related to 16-CV-6728, and the cases appear to involve certain common questions of law and fact. Accordingly, the parties in each case are directed to file letters no later than May 11, 2017, not to exceed three single-spaced pages each, indicating their views on whether the cases should be consolidated. If the parties do not file letters opposing consolidation, the Court intends to consolidate the three cases without further notice to the parties. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate 16-CV-6728 Docket No. 51, and as further set forth. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 5/4/2017) (ras) Modified on 5/25/2017 (ras). |

Filing 46 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER: Thus, the only possible way for Lead Plaintiffs to avoid the need for republication (and the revisiting of the lead plaintiff and lead counsel selection that might follow) is to revert to the claims and allegations in the original Complaint, which formed the basis for the original PSLRA notice. (See Docket Nos. 1, 6). If, in light of the Court's ruling, Lead Plaintiffs wish to strike the new claims and allegations in both the First and Second Amended Complaints and revert to the claims and allegations in the original Complaint, they shall file a letter brief to that effect within one week of the date of this Order, showing cause why the Court should permit them to do so; within three days of any such letter brief, any interested party including Defendants and IFRRS shall file any response. The Clerk of Court is directed to add IFRRS to the docket as an Intervenor and to terminate Docket Nos. 31 and 38. As discussed on the record at the April 7, 2017 conference, Defendants need not answer or otherwise respond to Lead Plaintiffs' complaints at present; the Court will set a deadline to answer or otherwise respond when the questions of lead plaintiff and the operative complaint have been clarified.

Filing 23 Vacated as per Judges Order dated 7/27/2017, Doc. # 84 ORDER granting #16 Motion to Appoint Counsel; granting #16 Motion to Appoint. Spasov and Dube are appointed as Lead Plaintiffs. The Court finds that they satisfy the requirements for Lead Plaintiff set forth in Section 78u-4(a) (3)(B). Lead Plaintiffs, pursuant to Section 78u-4(a)(3)(B)(v), have selected and retained Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP and Pomerantz LLP as Co-Lead Counsel. In light of the foregoing, the hearing scheduled for November 22, 2016, is CANCELLED. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate Docket No. 16. (Signed by Judge Jesse M.

Filing 22 LETTER addressed to Judge Jesse M. Furman from Lesley F. Portnoy dated November 14, 2016 re: Appointment as Lead Plaintiff and Approval of Lead Counsel. Document filed by Susan Dube, Lyubomir Spasov.(Portnoy, Lesley) |
Filing 21 ORDER: On October 24, 2016, Lyubomir Spasov and Susan Dube filed a motion for appointment as lead plaintiffs pursuant to Section 78-u(a)(3)(B) of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act ("PSLRA"). (Docket No. 16). The filing also included a motion for approval of Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP and Pomerantz LLP as co-lead counsel for the class. Despite the fact that no opposition was filed, the Court has an independent duty under the PSLRA to assure itself that Spasov and Dube satisfy the requirements of Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 15 U.S.C. 78-u(a)(3)(B)(iii)(I)(bb)-(cc). Where, as here, the movant is a group rather than an individual person or entity, the question of whether the group can fairly and adequately represent the interests of the class includes consideration of "the way in which a group seeking to become lead plaintiff was formed" and "the extent of the prior relationships and/or connection between the members of a movant group." In re Cendant Corp. Litig., 264 F.3d 201, 266 (3d. Cir. 2001). Accordingly, no later than November 14, 2016, Spasov and Dube shall file a supplemental letter addressing those considerations and their bearing on the motion for appointment as lead plaintiff. The letter should address the propriety or need to have two firms serve as co-lead counsel rather than a single firm. Upon review of the letter, the Court will determine whether there is need to hold the hearing presently scheduled for November 22, 2016. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 11/9/2016) (mro) |
