Which of the following was not provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995?
A) Requires plaintiffs to pay defendants reasonable attorney's fees and expenses directly related to litigation found by the court to be frivolous and unwarranted.
B) Provides for a stay of discovery during the period a motion to dismiss is pending, thereby reducing a cost that often forces innocent parties to settle frivolous class action suits.
C) Limits punitive damages by defining securities fraud as a basis for bringing action under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, which provides for treble damages.
D) Places limits on the rights of third parties to sue by limiting the number of times a plaintiff can be a lead plaintiff to no more than five class actions in any three-year period and by imposing stricter pleading standards to be met by plaintiffs.
E) Changes the manner in which the court appoints lead plaintiffs in class actions to favor institutional investors likely to have the largest financial stake in the relief sought and to mitigate the "race to the courthouse by professional plaintiffs" who hold minimal ownership interests.
