DEFENDANTS HAVE STANDING TO OPPOSE THE IMPROPER LEAD
PLAINTIFF AND COUNSEL PROPOSED IN THIS CASE
Plaintiffs' reply memorandum asserts that defendants have no standing to oppose their
motion to appoint lead plaintiff and approve of class counsel. This Court addressed this
precise issue in Howard Gunty Profit Sharing v. Quantum Corporation, Civil No. 96-
20711 SW at p. 7 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 6, 1997) (copy attached as Exhibit A). The Court ruled
that defendants have standing to oppose a motion for lead plaintiff. As Judge Williams
explained:
[W]hen, as in this suit, there are no other potential lead plaintiffs to
challenge a moving party, the Court must rely on the defendants to insure

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
I.
INTRODUCTION
Defendant NUKO Information Systems, Inc. ("NUKO") is a high tech start up company
which designs and distributes advanced devices that enhance the transmission and
reception of video signals. NUKO revised its first quarter 1997 earnings and revenue
figures on May 21, 1997. As is typical in these cases, plaintiffs rely on the benefit of
hindsight to make out a securities claim on these facts, contending that NUKO's earlier
earnings and revenue figures must have been deliberately overstated to mislead investors.
In their pending motion, plaintiffs and movants request that the Court appoint all seven of
them -- and all four of their law firms -- as lead plaintiff and class counsel, respectively.
Combining all of the plaintiffs and movants as lead plaintiff will expand the power of
plaintiffs' counsel to control the prosecution of this case, and defeat one of the aims of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-67 (1995) (the
