Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), 15 U.S.C. §§
23
78j(b) and 78t(a), and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 10b-5 promulgated
24
thereunder, 17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5.
25
WHEREAS, on December 4, 2015, Plaintiff sent service waivers to Defendants.
26

(“PSLRA”). See 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(a)(1). Under the PSLRA, the Court will appoint a lead plaintiff

the three related actions referenced above, as well as any other subsequently-filed related action, into
14
a single action either before this Court or the United States District Court for the District of

Colorado.
16

22
counsel.
