This is only gets display when printing
For the second time this year, the Firm achieved the dismissal of all underwriters in a securities fraud class action brought on behalf of a putative class of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Company ("Freddie Mac") shareholders in a class action coordinated by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation before Judge Cedarbaum in the Southern District of New York. During oral argument on July 29, 2010, Judge Cedarbaum ruled that Plaintiffs had not alleged facts to show that any of the underwriters acted with scienter and granted underwriters’ motion to dismiss on that basis. The court again granted Plaintiffs leave to amend.
