Opinion

• Opinion  9.12.07  2007 WL 2705584

• The PSLRA has made it substantially harder for plaintiffs to pursue lawsuits alleging securities fraud. Nevertheless, as the Supreme Court recently noted in Tellabs, private securities litigation is an indispensable tool crucial to the integrity of domestic capital markets with which defrauded investors can recover their losses. Here, plaintiffs have satisfied the heightened pleading requirements of the PSLRA. Accordingly, defendants' motions to dismiss the second amended complaint are hereby denied. The court will hold a status conference in the near future to address the next steps in this action. Signed by Judge David Frank Hamilton on 9.12.07.
