MEMORANDUM WITH RESPECT TO SELECTION OF LEAD PLAINTIFF AND LEAD COUNSEL: This is a putative securities fraud class action. The matter is before the Court on a number of competing motions for, among other things, appointment as lead plaintiff(s) and approval of lead counsel for the class. There remain three candidates [DIs 47, 53, 56], two of which are groups of two plaintiffs each; set forth herein. As an initial matter, Sacco and Stein oppose the Randall-OPPRS motion [DI 63]. They point out that it is undisputed that OPPRS currently is serving as a lead plaintiff in four federal securities class actions within the past three years. And they note that 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(a)(3)(B)(vi) reads: "Restrictions on professional plaintiffs. Except as the court may otherwise permit, consistent with the purposes of this section, a person may be a lead plaintiff, or an officer, director, or fiduciary of a lead plaintiff, in no more than 5 securities class actions brought as plaintiff class actions pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure during any 3-year period." But the key words are "more than 5," not "5 or more." In consequence, the Court rejects the contention that OPPRS should be excluded as a lead plaintiff or that the presumption that attaches to its loss, which is the largest loss claimed by any of the individual plaintiffs seeking lead plaintiff status, is devalued. Thus, the Court begins from the premise that OPPRS presumptively is the lead plaintiff. But that is not the end of the matter for at least two reasons. First, assuming arguendo that OPPRS were selected as lead counsel, the Court would see no added value from the participation of Mr. Randall as a co-lead plaintiff. Nor would it see any reason to involve two law firms as co-lead counsel. All of the firms in contention for the lead counsel slot, including both proposed by OPPRS and Randall, are entirely capable of representing any class that might be certified. The proposed redundancy of law firms would be likely only to increase the cost of the representation without commensurate benefit. Assuming arguendo that the Court were disposed to select OPPRS as lead counsel, it is entitled to know which Jaw firm it would select were it obliged to select only one. Second, OPPRS is a public body, some of the trustees of which are elected and others of whom are appointed by elected officials or appointees of elected officials. OKLA.STAT.ANN.tit.11, § 50-103.1 (West); https://www.ok.gov/OPPRS/About_ OPPRS/Board_of_trustees/index.html (last visited Dec. 22, 2015). This Court recently has noted concerns that have been expressed with respect to political contributions by Jaw firms seeking class action representations to holders of and candidates for public office who could be in a position to influence participation by public pension funds in securities litigation and the selection of counsel by such funds. In re Bank of New York Mellon Forex Transactions Litig., No. 12-md-2335 (LAK), -F. Supp. 3d.-, 2015 WL 8082783, at *3-4 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 4, 2015). OPPRS's proposed participation as a lead plaintiff alone would raise those concerns. The fact that it is participating as lead plaintiff in four other class actions and has sought that status in still others heighten their acuity. Accordingly, the Court requires additional information in order to rule on the remaining motions. OPPRS shall provide the following information no later than January 21, 2016; as further set forth in this Order. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 12/22/2015) (mro) Modified on 12/23/2015 (mro).
