ORDER: I have received the letter of counsel to the Individual Plaintiffs in the Stichting Pensioenfonds action, the NYSCRF action, the Graber action and the Schwab action, proposing that the plaintiffs' intended motion for partial summary judgment be based upon the record on the prior undecided motion for partial summary judgment in the Consolidated Securities Class Action. The letter places a qualifier that "additional pertinent facts specific to the Individual Plaintiffs" may be submitted "as appropriate." (Letter of July 23, 2013.) Defendants have consented to the proposal. In principal, the concept is acceptable but to avoid doubt the Court enters the following Order governing the proposed motion: The Court is no longer in possession of Chambers (courtesy) copies of the motion papers. Each side --the Individual Plaintiffs and the defendants--shall submit by August 16, 2013 a full and complete set to Chambers of the submissions for their respective side. The Chambers' submission must have the same type of exhibit tabs and format as submitted on the original motion as further set forth in this order. The supplemental submission of the Individual Plaintiffs is due August 16, 2013, the response of defendants is due September 6, 2013 and Individual Plaintiffs' reply, if any, by September 20, 2013 as further set forth in this order. The supplemental submission of defendants is due August 16, 2013 the response of the Individual Plaintiffs is due September 6, 2013 and the defendants reply, if any, by September 20, 2013.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: On April 5, 2013, this Court presided over a hearing to consider approval of a settlement of the Consolidated Securities Class Action in exchange for the payment by defendants of $4,250,000,000, plus certain corporate governance reforms. After reviewing the adequacy of notice, the circumstances surrounding the negotiations, the relative difficulty of proving the claims and damages at trial, the extent to which the case had been litigated (61 depositions were conducted, more than 3.8 million documents were produced, and the case was close to trial), the reaction of class members (there were approximately 10 objections), and the other Grinnell factors, the Court approved the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate to the members of the class. Because of the absence of a sufficient record in support of the fee application, Lead Counsel's application is DENIED insofar as it includes an award to the Flanagan Firm. (See Order).

ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge P. Kevin Castel, from Harry P. Susman, dated 4/4/2013, re: We represent Plaintiff KERS & Co. ("KERS") in the above referenced individual action, which is a consolidated action on behalf of a number of opt-out plaintiffs. We write to alert Your Honor to an issue regarding whether KERS timely opted out of the class action and to request an expedited briefing scheduled to permit resolution of KERS's motion for relief under Rule 6(b). While we believe that KERS opted out timely because the notice was postmarked by May 7, 2012, we are concerned that there is not time to resolve this issue. In the event KERS is deemed a member of the class (incorrectly), KERS must meet the April 25, 2013 deadline to file a proof of claim. As a result, we intend to file a motion for relief under Rule 6(b)(2). While Your Honor's rules exclude motions under Rule 6(b) from the conference requirement, we request that Your Honor order a briefing schedule that would permit resolution of this issue before the April 25, 2013 deadline to file a proof of claim. We would request until April 9, 2013 to file our motion. ENDORSEMENT: Premotion conference waived for any motion by KERS relating to its motion as a member of the class. SO ORDERED.

ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge P. Kevin Castel from Efrat Pellet dated 8/3/2012 re: Counsel respectfully request permission to file paper copies of documents in the above-referenced consolidated derivative action. ENDORSEMENT: Nancy Rothbaum is not a party to any action before this Court. She has a right to be heard in the final approval process and not otherwise. The seemingly modest request made by Mr. Pellet would be tantamount granting the motion to intervene which I have already denied. Application DENIED. (Signed by Judge P. Kevin Castel on 8/3/2012) (jfe) Modified on 8/13/2012 (jfe). (Entered: 08/03/2012)
ORDER: Nancy Rothbaum, a shareholder of Bank of America Corporation ("BofA") has submitted what she has styled a "Motion" to reconsider this Court's Order granting preliminary approval of a proposed settlement of the Consolidated Derivative Actions. Ms. Rothbaum is not a party to any proceeding before the Court. The Order granting preliminary approval provides for a mechanism for shareholders, such as Ms. Rothbaum, to file an objection before final approval. A final approval hearing is set for January 11, 2013 at 11:30 a.m. (Order of July 13, 2012, Docket # 690.) There is no procedure under Rule 23.1, Fed. R. Civ. P., for individual shareholders to object to preliminary approval. That said, I have read and considered Ms. Rothbaum's July 17, 2012 memorandum in support of her objection, as well as her declaration and that of Michael Schwartz in support of the objection. Preliminary approval is not an empty act and this Court would not grant preliminary approval of a settlement which on its face was inadequate or collusive or as to which the proposed notice or method of notice was inadequate. However, on the record at this stage, the Court has found no facially inadequacy in the proposed settlement and there are no apparent defects in the proposed notice. The matter may look differently when the Court has had a full opportunity to consider which elements of damages are recoverable against the individual defendants in a derivative suit on behalf of the corporation, as distinguished from a suit by shareholders against the individual defendants. By the time of the settlement hearing, the Court will also have a better sense of the strength of the derivative claims through the trial of the securities claims in the class action. It will have the benefit of hearing from all shareholders in the final approval process. If Nancy Rothbaum had standing to object to preliminary approval and/or move to reconsider the grant of preliminary approval, an issue I need not decide, I would nevertheless adhere to the order granting preliminary approval and setting a schedule for final approval. She is welcome to file an objection to the settlement in connection with the final approval process. (Signed by Judge P. Kevin Castel on 8/2/2012) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:09-md-02058-PKC et al.(jfe) (Entered: 08/03/2012)

Order
ORDER: I have the letter of defendant Bank of America ("BofA") and certain individual defendants dated June 29, 2012, the response of plaintiffs in the above matters dated July 18, 2012 and the reply of defendants dated July 25, 2012. The letters describe a discovery dispute among the parties, specifically related to the scope of permissible discovery of the plaintiffs in the individual actions. Familiarity with the content of those letters is assumed. I will note at the outset that the sole issue is the scope of permissible discovery. That discovery is allowed on an issue does not foreclose the Court from having a different view of admissibility at the motion in limine stage. Set forth within this Order are the Court's rulings. The documents as to which production has been required in this Order shall be produced by September 14, 2012. (Signed by Judge P.

ORDER: Having considered the positions of the parties, the Court concludes that the Bank Defendants are entitled to discovery with the modifications noted herein. The time period September 1, 2008 through January 21,2009 is narrowly tailored and reduces the burden to Lead Plaintiff and stands as written. Paragraph (l)(d) of the March 27 letter at pp. 1-2 is modified to delete the word "monitored." Certain of the asset classes for which discovery is sought are amorphous and overbroad; the requests reflected in paragraphs (1) and (2) of the March 27 letter at pp 1-2, are modified to delete "leveraged loans; private equity investments; principal investments" and "structured credit positions." Lead Plaintiffs shall produce all non-privileged, non-work product documents responsive to the requests, as modified, by May 11, 2012. ( Request for Production of Documents due by 5/11/2012.)
