Kessler, Phebe N. Novakovic, and James E. Staley and nominal defendant

JPMorgan    Chase   &   Co.   (“JPMorgan”)   filed   motions     to   dismiss   the

operative complaints in the above-captioned cases. See Dkt. 24; Dkt.

hereby grants those motions on the ground that plaintiffs have failed

to make pre-suit demand on the board of directors of JPMorgan or

adequately allege that doing so would be futile. In light of this

conclusion, Court does not reach defendants' motion to dismiss pursuant

to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12 (b) (6)        for failure to state a

claim upon which relief may be granted.

     An opinion explaining the reasons for these rulings will follow

in due course, at which time judgment will be entered.

     The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to close entry

numbers 24 and 28.


     SO ORDERED.
