OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS. Because the 2010 amendments to the proxy rules are not relevant to my conclusion that Plaintiff's proposal divests corporate management of the discretion given to them under those rules, I adhere to my earlier decision to grant Defendant's motion to dismiss. The clerk shall mark Defendant's motion terminated and the case closed. (Signed by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein on 4/25/2013) (lmb)
