Parties in Latest AT&T Lead Cables Shareholder Suit Agree to Stay Their Case

Plaintiff George Miller and 16 defendants in his case, including the current and former AT&T CEOs and chief financial officers, plus 12 current and former board members, agreed to seek a stay in Miller’s lead cables case until 30 days after the entry of a final order on AT&T’s forthcoming motion to dismiss plaintiff John Brazinsky’s complaint in U.S. District Court for New Jersey in Newark (see 2307300002), said their stipulation Friday (docket 1:24-cv-00032) in U.S. District Court for Delaware in Wilmington. Miller’s complaint was filed Thursday (see 2401120002), and it’s based “on the same core underlying factual allegations as those alleged” in Brazinsky’s complaint, said the stipulation. Both complaints allege the defendants covered up AT&T’s ownership of toxic lead cables. The parties agree that all proceedings and deadlines in Miller’s action should be stayed to conserve resources, said the stipulation.
