In this guide, we provide a timeline of events for the entire duration of a typical securities class action lawsuit like the UroGen class action lawsuit, with approximately how long each step takes so you will have a better understanding of the timing of events in the UroGen lawsuit.
Lead Plaintiff Appointment in the Urogen Lawsuit: Approximately Four Months After Initial Complaint Filed in UroGen Lawsuit
At the end of the sixty days, the court can rule on the lead plaintiff’s motion just on the pleading filed with the court, or the judge may set a hearing on the motion for 30–45 days after the sixty-day expiration. If a hearing is held, the judge will issue an order afterwards appointing a lead plaintiff which could be a couple weeks to a couple months.
Filing of a Consolidated Complaint: Approximately Six Months After Initial Filing of UroGen Lawsuit
After the appointment of lead plaintiff in the UroGen lawsuit, the court will enter a scheduling order which will include a time, usually about 60 days, for the lead plaintiff to file a consolidated complaint consolidating the allegations all complaints along with any new additional allegations in the UroGen class action lawsuit.
The Defendants Motion to Dismiss: Decided Nearly a Year After the Initial UroGenLawsuit Was Filed
In the same scheduling order, the court will also set a time for the defendants to file a motion to dismiss in the UroGen class action lawsuit and schedule a briefing and possibly a hearing on the motion once the briefing is completed.
The defendants may have 45 to 60 days to file the motion to dismiss and then the briefing schedule is typically around 60 days, and the court will then enter an order either granting or denying the motion to dismiss in the UroGen lawsuit.
Thus, by the time defendants’ motion to dismiss is decided nearly a year has passed since the filing of the original complain in the UroGen class action lawsuitand could be possibly longer given the court’s schedule.
Completion Of Discovery: Two-and-a-Half-Years After Initial Filing of UroGen Classs Action Lawsuit
If the defendant’s motion to dismiss is denied, the parties in the UroGen lawsuit will move into the discovery phase including the exchange of documents, request for admissions, interrogatories, depositions, and third-party subpoenas, among others.
The discovery phase usually takes about a year, though it can be less or more depending on the size of the case and its complexity such as is the case in the UroGen lawsuit.
Thus, by the time discovery is completed approximately two-and-a-half years have passed since the initial filing in the UroGen lawsuit, which is approximately how long it takes a securities class action to resolve.
Settlement Negotiation and Mediation in the UroGen Class Action Lawsuit
By now two-and-a-half to three years have passed since the initial filing of the UroGen lawsuit. However, it is at this point that nearly all securities class actions result in a settlement, but that process takes time also. Once the parties have reached an agreement, it will have to be preliminarily approved by the court with notice to shareholders with the right to object, obtain final approval of the settlement, and then the claims process begins in the UroGen lawsuit.
Usually, a third-party administrator is hired to administer the common fund in the UroGen lawsuit. If the parties have complied with all the steps for approval, the judge will approve the distribution of the settlement fund by the claim’s administrator.
You will receive a court-appointed notice and have to send in a claim form confirming your purchases and sales in the UroGen lawsuit. This process alone can take up to a year and therefore it may be four years until the UroGen lawsuit is finally resolved.
