On June 27, 2008, Massachusetts Bricklayers and Masons Trust Funds filed a complaint in Nassau County Supreme Court on behalf of purchasers of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of Deutsche Alt A Securities Inc., a special purpose corporation and a subsidiary of DB Structural Products, Inc. The Pass-Through Certificates were issued pursuant to Prospectus Supplements, and supported by pools of mortgage loans supported by liens. Claims are alleged under Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.

The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement contained false statements regarding underwriting standards, maximum loan to value ratios used to qualify borrowers, appraisals of properties, and debt-to-income ratios of loan applicants. By the fall of 2007, the truth about the mortgage loans that secured the Certificates began to be revealed to the public. As a result, the Certificates are no longer marketable at prices anywhere near the price paid by investors, and the holders of the Certificates are exposed to much more risk with respect to both the timing and absolute cash flow to be received than the Registration Statement/Prospectus Supplements represented. The case, originally filed in New York state court, has been removed by the Defendants to the federal district in the Eastern District of New York, where Labaton Sucharow will be filing a motion to remand to state court.
