A $1.9 million settlement was obtained in this securities litigation.

On March 23, 2011, the Honorable Susan R. Bolton of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona granted final approval to the $1,900,000 settlement in the class action In re Limelight Networks, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. CV07-01603-PHX-SRB.

Labaton Sucharow served as Court-appointed co-lead plaintiffs' counsel for lead plaintiffs Mitchell Robbins, David Gechlik, Thaiky Nguyen, Del G. Nuzum and the settlement class.

Plaintiffs alleged that Limelight Networks, Inc. ("Limelight"), certain individual defendants and underwriters made false or misleading statements to the investing public which had the effect of artificially inflating Limelight's stock price.

The deadline for objecting to the settlement or for seeking exclusion from the settlement class was February 25, 2011. A settlement hearing was originally scheduled to be held before the Court on March 11, 2011, at 9:00 a.m., but on the Court's own motion the hearing was rescheduled to March 22, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. It was held before Judge Susan R. Bolton at the Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Courthouse, 401 West Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ, 85003.
