In connection with the oral argument on the various motions to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint for Violations of the Federal Securities Laws [Corrected] (the "Complaint") in this action--scheduled for March 13, 2013, at 2:00 p.m.--the Court notifies the parties of the following: The Court intends to rule on the pleadings only once--there will not be multiple rounds of motions to dismiss.

If there is a dismissal of the Complaint as to some or all parties, or as to some or all counts, that dismissal will be with prejudice.

03/08/2013 147 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Katherine B. Forrest from Lionel Z. Glancy dated 3/8/2013 re: Pursuant to Your Honor's Order (Dkt. No. 142), Plaintiffs respond to Defendants' letter of March 7, 2013 as follows: Plaintiffs intend to stand on their pleadings with respect to all defendants. Defendants' letter mischaracterizes Plaintiffs' efforts with respect to -- the prosecution of the claims against Ming Zhao: while service on Zhao in China may have occurred in October 2012, the document Plaintiffs received attesting to service is dated in January 2013. Dkt. No. 138. The Supreme People's Court did not return the proof of service to counsel for plaintiffs until January 2013. United States counsel for Zhao first contacted Plaintiffs' counsel regarding service just three weeks ago. Counsel has had experience with delays inherent in the service of defendants in China and their retention of U.S. counsel. It does not follow that such a delay is either indefinite or leads to the party not participating in the action. See Ho v. Duoyuan Global Water, Inc., No. 10-cv-7233 (S.D.N.Y.). Finally, as set forth in detail in Plaintiffs' March 5, 2013 letter, Plaintiffs request permission to amend their complaint to add CITIC as a party defendant.ENDORSEMENT: Ordered. Argument will proceed on the motions as currently scheduled. (Signed by Judge Katherine B. Forrest on 3/8/2013) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:11-cv-02598-KBF et al.(ago) (Entered: 03/11/2013)
