LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 23, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Law Firm of Cauley Geller Bowman & Coates, LLP announced today that it has filed a class action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of all individuals and institutional investors that purchased the common stock of New Focus, Inc. ("New Focus" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:NUFO) between January 31, 2001 and March 5, 2001, inclusive (the "Class Period").
The complaint charges that the Company and certain of its officers and directors violated the federal securities laws by providing materially false and misleading information about the Company's financial condition and future growth potential, and as a result of these false and misleading statements the Company's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the class period. Specifically, the complaint alleges that New Focus disseminated false and misleading statements designed to conceal the Company's deteriorating financial condition and declining demand for its products long enough to allow several officers and directors, named as defendants herein, to sell or arrange to sell over $61 million of their privately held New Focus common stock.
