In re Charles Schwab Corp. Securities Litigation Doc. 907 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 IN RE: CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION SECURITIES LITIGATION. This Document Relates To All Cases. / No. C 08-01510 WHA IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA United States District Court 11 For the Northern District of California 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ORDER REGARDING CORRESPONDENCE FROM JAMES EDWARDS O/B/O SCIENTIFIC SPINAL PENSION PLAN As described by prior order (Dkt. No. 877), James Edwards wrote a letter to the Court and copied counsel, and then sent a follow-up e-mail to the Court without copying counsel. That order construed the correspondence from Mr. Edwards as an opt-out motion, though it noted that it was somewhat unclear whether the correspondence was instead an objection to the federal securities class settlement agreement. Mr. Edwards subsequently wrote another letter, this time copied to counsel, which clarified his prior correspondence. It states: "I did not word my 8/4/10 email as I intended. The Scientific Spinal Pension Plan is a Class Member, however we oppose the federal class settlement agreement . . ." This order will therefore not decide whether the Scientific Spinal Pension Plan or Mr. Edwards can opt out of the federal securities class. As requested by Mr. Edwards and pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(e)(4), the Court will consider whether the class settlement agreement "affords a new opportunity to request exclusion to individual class members who had an earlier opportunity to request exclusion but did not do so," when considering approval of that agreement.
