ORDER ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSING ALL CONSOLIDATED CASES

The above-captioned action is a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed on behalf of
Molycorp, Inc. against certain of Molycorp’s principals and directors. The claims raised
herein are derivative of two securities class actions, one that is pending before another
judge in this District, In re Molycorp Industries, No. 12-cv-292-RM-KMT, and one that is

pending before a New York court, In re Molycorp, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 13 Civ.
5697 (PAC) (S.D.N.Y.). Given the interrelated nature of the claims, the instant action is
stayed pending resolution of the securities class actions. (ECF No. 104.) As both of the
securities class actions are at a relatively early stage of litigation, the Court has no way
to ascertain how long the current stay will be in place.
Thus, pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 41.2, the Court hereby ORDERS that the
above-captioned case be ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED. The Clerk shall file a copy of
this order in the consolidated cases (12-cv-589-WJM-KLM and 13-cv-3155-WJM-KLM),
and such cases shall likewise be ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED. The Parties may by
motion seek leave to reopen this case after the securities class actions are resolved, or
for any other good cause shown.
Dated this 15th day of January, 2015.
BY THE COURT:

William J. Martínez
United States District Judge
