5/24/2012

ORDER - Investors in China Agritech allege Agritech materially misstated its net revenue and income for the third quarter 2009 on SEC filing; however, stock was not traded on an “efficient market” on which plaintiffs could rely, as only a few analysts had followed stock. (C.D. Cal.)

SUBPOENA – In re Ex Parte LG Elec. Deutschland Gmbh

5/23/2012

ORDER – LG filed for an order under 28 U.S.C. 1782 to obtain discovery from Qualcomm for use in German and Japanese proceedings.

5/18/2012

BRIEF – The S.E.C. subpoenaed Google to find the owners of e-mail addresses connected to alleged “pump and dump” schemes.

The S.E.C. argues that anonymity of speech is not protected, and that the information sought is rationally related to a compelling governmental interest. (9th Cir.)
