Plaintiffs Drop Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Overstock.com
August 08 2018 - 8:45AM
Attorneys for the lead plaintiff, James Webb, filed a voluntary
dismissal in the class action securities lawsuit against
Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) on August 7, 2018.
Prior to the dismissal, the plaintiffs were required to file an
amended complaint on August 7, 2018 as a result of a scheduling
order in the case. Rather than filing that amended complaint, the
plaintiffs elected to file the dismissal.
In response to the dismissal, Overstock.com CEO Patrick M. Byrne
said, “I commend the maturity and class of the plaintiff’s class
action firm. They filed a lawsuit, but apparently when they did
enough research to realize there was nothing to it, they moved on.
Of how many law firms may that be said?”
