LEAH ROSENFELD IRA, derivatively on behalf of ZILLOW GROUP, INC., Plaintiffs, v. RICHARD N. BARTON, et al., Defendants.
MINUTE ORDER
The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:
(1) The Court construes Plaintiffs' unopposed motion to intervene, docket no. 23, as a motion to amend the complaint. Plaintiffs' unopposed motion is GRANTED. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a)(2).
(a) Plaintiffs are ORDERED to file either an amended consolidated verified stockholder derivative complaint or a corrected consolidated verified stockholder derivative complaintnaming Bruce Taylor as a plaintiff in place of Michael Blake Randolph no later than May 15, 2024.
Plaintiffs' consolidated verified stockholder derivative complaint, docket no. 22, names Leah Rosenfeld IRA, Brian Sisson, and Michael Blake Randolph as plaintiffs. Mr. Randolph, however, did not submit a signed verification statement. Instead, Mr. Taylor, who Plaintiffs are seeking to make a named plaintiff through the instant motion, submitted a verification statement, signed under penalty of perjury, stating that he was a plaintiff in the consolidated verified stockholder derivative complaint. Docket no. 22 at 72. In light of this discrepancy in the consolidated verified stockholder derivative complaint, Plaintiffs can either amend or correct the consolidated verified stockholder derivative complaint.
(2) The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Minute Order to all counsel of record.
