This matter is before us on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Appointment of Wolf Haldenstein Adler

settlement negotiations;
(2) make all work assignments in such a manner as to facilitate the orderly and efficient
prosecution of this litigation and to avoid duplicative or unproductive effort;
(3) coordinate all activities, appearances, and the dissemination of notices and orders of this
Court on behalf of Plaintiffs (i.e., no motion, request for discovery, or other pretrial proceedings
shall be initiated or filed by Plaintiffs except through Wolf Haldenstein);
