Abstract
This data set, summarizing 80 opinions on motions to actions, is an appendix to the following essay: Wendy Gerwick Couture, the World of Securities Fraud in 80 Motions to 45 45 LOY. U. CHI. L.J. __ (forthcoming 2014). In the essay, I discuss emerging issues in courts’ rulings on motions to actions. In order to ensure that my comments reflect current trends in this ever-evolving area, I analyzed a data set of 80 opinions issued in 2013 on motions to actions. I compiled this data set of 80 opinions as follows: On November 17, 2013, I performed the following terms and connectors search in the DCT (U.S. District Court Cases) database on Westlaw: securities fraud & motion to dismiss & (P.S.L.R.A. private litigation reform act) & class action & da(aft 1/1/2013). There were 153 results. I discarded opinions that (1) did not rule on motions to dismiss; (2) did not rule on putative actions; or (3) did not rule on claims of fraud. In addition, if the data set included multiple opinions on successive motions to filed in the same case, I included only the last opinion. Finally, after performing the above culling, I chose the first 80 opinions to have been issued in 2013. Please contact me by email to obtain an Excel version of this data set. The paper, Around the World of Securities Fraud in 80 Motions to Dismiss, to which this Appendix applies is available at the following URL: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2373807
