ORDER RE MOTION FOR
RECONSIDERATION

13
The Court is in receipt of Defendants Geron Corporation, John Scarlett, Olivia Bloom, and

14
15

Stephen Kelsey’s Motion for Leave to File a Motion for Reconsideration (dkt. 80) of this Court’s

16

April 15, 2015 Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the

17

Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (dkt. 75). In the instant motion, Defendants ask the

18

Court to reconsider its April 15, 2015 Order on the grounds that the Court failed to take into account

19

particular facts and cases. As stated at the hearing, the Court reviewed all arguments that the parties

20

filed in connection with Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated Class Action Complaint

21

(dkt. 54). See Mot. for Leave to File, Ex. B at 2. In granting in part and denying in part Defendants’

22

Motion to Dismiss, the Court issued its ruling in open court and supplemented its explanation with

23

an April 15, 2015 Order summarizing its reasoning. The Court has now reviewed its preparation for,

24

and ruling in connection with, the Motion to Dismiss and confirmed that it did in fact consider all

25

points reiterated by Defendants in their Motion for Reconsideration, which are encompassed within

26

the Court’s oral and written rulings. There being no “manifest failure by the Court to consider

27

material facts or dispositive legal arguments that were presented to the Court before the order,” see
