Class member and proposed lead plaintiff Rashesh Patel, by and through undersigned counsel, will and hereby does move this Court pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), 15 U.S.C. §78u-4(a)(3)(B), for an order appointing Mr. Patel as Lead Plaintiff and approving his selection of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP as Lead Counsel.1 This Motion is made on the grounds that Mr. Patel is the most adequate plaintiff to serve as lead

Because the PSLRA permits any “purported class member . . . including any motion by a class member who is not individually named as a plaintiff in the complaint” to file a motion for appointment as lead plaintiff, 15 U.S.C. §78u-4(a)(3)(B)(i), Mr. Patel cannot ascertain whether any other parties will also seek appointment as lead plaintiff until after the deadline expires on April 6th. Accordingly, Mr. Patel’s counsel respectfully requests that compliance with LR7.01(a)(1) be waived as to the unknown movants. See Franchi v. SmileDirectClub, Inc., 2020 WL 6479561, at *2 (M.D. Tenn. Jan. 27, 2020) (recognizing that “requirement comes into conflict with the provisions of the PSLRA” because “no prospective lead plaintiff can determine which, if any, other parties will also move for appointment until after the deadline to file has expired” and “waiv[ing] the requirement to comply with LR 7.01(a) in this instance”).
