`Case 3:19-cv-06361-RS Document 125 Filed 01/25/21 Page 2 of 5
`
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“Fed. R. Civ. P.”) 16(d), Civil Local Rule
`(“Civil L.R.”) 23-1(b), and Manual for Complex Litigation, Fourth §§ 11.12, 11.21 and 31
`(2004), the parties stipulate, and the Court hereby orders, as follows:
`WHEREAS, on October 4, 2019, Benjamin Stirratt filed a complaint alleging violations
`of the federal securities laws against Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”), certain of its current and
`former directors and officers, and the investment banks that served as underwriters for Uber’s
`initial public offering;
`WHEREAS, pursuant to a January 3, 2020 Court order, the Court appointed Boston
`Retirement System as Lead Plaintiff and Labaton Sucharow LLP as Lead Counsel for the case,
`now captioned Boston Retirement System v. Uber Technologies, Inc., No. 3:19-cv-06361-RS
`(“Boston Retirement System Action”);
`WHEREAS, pursuant to an August 7, 2020 Court order, the Court denied Defendants’
`motion to dismiss the operative complaint in the Boston Retirement System Action;
`WHEREAS, pursuant to a November 30, 2020 Court order, Levi & Korsinsky, LLP was
`appointed Liaison Counsel for Lead Plaintiff in the Boston Retirement System Action;
`WHEREAS, on December 5, 2020, plaintiffs David Messinger, Gerald Ashford, Irving S.
`and Judith Braun, Ellie Marie Toronto ESA, Varghese Pallathu, Joseph Cianci, and Johnny
`Ramey filed a complaint alleging violations of the federal securities laws against the same
`defendants, in the action captioned Messinger et al v. Uber Technologies, Inc., No. 3:20-cv-
`08610-WHA (“Messinger Action”), which action has since been deemed related to the Boston
`Retirement System Action and assigned to this Court; and
`WHEREAS, the parties believe the Boston Retirement and Messinger Actions should be
`consolidated because: (1) they are both purported class actions asserting the same causes of
`action under §§11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, against the same Defendants,
`and arising from the same circumstances; and (2) it would be unduly burdensome, involve
`unwarranted duplication of effort and expense, and give rise to the prospect of inconsistent or
`conflicting results if the Actions were heard by different Judges.

`
`IT IS ORDERED, in accord with the Parties’ stipulation and agreement as reflected
`herein, that these matters are related cases within the meaning of Civil L.R. 3-12. Pursuant to Fed.
`R. Civ. P. 42(a), the Messinger Action (No. 3:20-cv-08610-RS) is consolidated into the Boston
`Retirement System Action (No. 3:19-cv-06361-RS) for all purposes before this Court.
`IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Boston Retirement System shall continue as the Lead
`Plaintiff in the consolidated action.
`IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Labaton Sucharow LLP shall continue to serve as the
`Lead Counsel. Lead Counsel shall have the discretion to coordinate activities and dissemination
`of work to counsel of record in the Messinger Action for the benefit of the Class and in keeping
`with its obligations and continuing role as Lead Counsel.
`IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants are not required to respond to the complaint
`in the Messinger Action because the operative complaint for purposes of this consolidation shall
`be the amended complaint filed in the Boston Retirement System Action (Docket No. 80), while
`reserving all rights and defenses that Defendants may have with respect to the Messinger Action.
