| 01/22/2001 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order/Consolidation. We consolidate the above-entitled matters for all appellate purposes. A notice of assignment to the settlement program has issued in Docket Nos. 37042, 37160 and 37273. In light of this order consolidating these matters, Docket Nos. 37179 and 37180 are assigned to the settlement program as well. A joint settlement conference shall be conducted in these consolidated matters. We defer ruling on the writ petitions in Docket Nos. 37179 and 37180, pending completion of the settlement conference proceedings. The time deadline for filing an answer in Docket Nos. 37179 and 37180, in accordance with our January 10, 2001 order, is not suspended.

| 01/23/2001 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order/Motion Granted in Part. Order Partially Granting Motion for Stay. Having considered the motion and the opposition, we conclude that appellants/petitioners have not demonstrated that a stay of the preliminary injunction order is warranted, but have shown that a stay of the shareholder meeting order should be granted. We stay the district court's December 14, 2000, order pending further order of this court. fn1[We defer ruling on respondents/real parties in interest's motion to dismiss the appeals in Docket Nos. 37160 and 37273.] Nos. 37042, 37160, 37179, 37180, 37273. | 01-01490 | |

The settlement conference scheduled for February 28, 2001 is postponed because counsel for one side stated an intent to file a motion to withdraw and did not want to go forward.

Respondents/real parties in interest have moved to expand the scope of this court's stay imposed on January 23, 2001, to prevent Stereoidogenesis Inhibitors International's annual meeting, scheduled for April 24, 2001, from going forward.

| 08/02/2001 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order Granting Motion. to withdraw as counsel of record for respondents and real parties in interest in these consolidated matters filed March 29, 2001. fn1[The motion states that Mr. Sapse has been the lead plaintiff/respondent in these matters and is the party who signed the Engagement Agreement with Hutchison & Steffen and has been responsible for payment of the firm's fees.] Hutchison & Steffen shall have 10 days from the date of this order to serve a copy of this order on all respondents/real parties in interest and file proof of such service with this court. Respondents shall have 30 days from the date of this order to either obtain new counsel and cause new counsel to file a notice of appearance with this order or inform this court in writing that they do not intend to retain new counsel. New counsel, if obtained, will be expected to participate in the settlement conference program to which this appeal is assigned. Nos. 37042/37160/37179/37180/37273. (01-13103) | 01-13103 | |

| 10/25/2001 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. On August 2, 2001, we entered an order granting the law firm of Hutchison & Steffen's motion to withdraw as counsel for respondents and real party in interest in these consolidated matters. The order gave respondents/real party in interest thirty days to obtain new counsel. To date, respondents/real party in interest have failed to respond to our order. It appears that they do not intend to obtain counsel to represent them in these matters. We therefore, remove these matters from the settlement conference program. Appellants shall have 15 days from the date of this order to file a docketing statement in Docket Nos. 37042, 37160 and 37273. Upon the filing of the docketing statements, this court shall conduct a preliminary jurisdictional review of these appeals. fn1[We defer ruling on respondents' motion to dismiss in docket Nos. 37160 and 37273, pending completion of our jurisdictional review.] (Docketing statement mailed to counsel for appellants.)

Appellants in Docket Nos. 37042, 37160, and 37273 shall have 10 days from the date of this order to file a docketing statement accompanied by proof of service on all respondents. We waive the requirement that the docketing statement be on the form provided by the clerk of this court.

Failure to comply with this order in a timely manner may result in the imposition of sanctions. (Docketing statement mailed to counsel for appellant.) Nos. 37042/37160/37179/37180/37273.
