Proposed Interim Co-Lead Counsel, on behalf of the putative plaintiff class, responds to
Plaintiff Decker’s Motion For Reconsideration of Order Denying Request to Find Decker Action
Unrelated (Docket No. 92).
1. The Decker And Nygren Actions Concern Substantially The Same Parties
And Factual Allegations
Proposed Interim Class Counsel agrees the Decker and Nygren actions are related. In her
motion, Plaintiff Decker describes how her case is completely unrelated to the NVIDIA GPU
Litigation. In contrast, the asserted claims by all other Plaintiffs in The NVIDIA GPU Litigation
arise from NVIDIA’s design, manufacture and sale of defective graphics chips or GPUs.
Plaintiff Decker properly states:
it appears that the Decker Action and the Nygren Action – which is not
consolidated with the NVIDIA GPU Litigation – are far more similar to each
other in terms of the factual allegations than the Decker Action has to the
NVIDIA GPU Litigation.
Id. Proposed Interim Class Counsel submits Plaintiff Decker has accurately described how
atypical its claims are to those asserted by all Plaintiffs in the NVIDIA GPU Litigation, and the
similarities between the Decker and Nygren actions.
2. The NVIDIA GPU Litigation Does Not Concern Defective HP
Wireless Cards
To the extent The NVIDIA GPU Litigation pleadings make passing reference to wireless
problems or issues with HP laptops, these allegations serve only to incorporate the entirety of
press releases or generally are from media releases or reports that were quoted in their entirety
for accuracy and completeness. Proposed Interim Co-Lead Counsel have consulted with counsel
to the consolidated NVIDIA GPU Litigation cases and agree if Decker is removed from this
consolidated action, a structure is appointed and a consolidated amended complaint is filed, the
operative pleading will allege only claims arising from NVIDIA’s design, manufacture and sale
of defective NVIDIA GPUs (which affect many computers across brands, makes and models).

The consolidated amended complaint will not allege claims arising from HP’s laptop computers
equipped with defective wireless communication cards.
3. Conclusion
For these reasons, the Court should grant Plaintiff Decker’s Motion For Reconsideration
of Order Denying Request to Find Decker Action Unrelated (Docket No. 92).
