Roy Jacobs & Associates announces that it has been retained to commence a Class Action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, on behalf of a class of persons who purchased the securities of Stone Energy Corp. (NYSE:SGY) between March 4, 2002 and October 6, 2005, inclusive (the "Class Period").

A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

The complaint alleges that Stone made false and misleading statements regarding its financial performance. On October 6, 2005 Stone announced, among other things, its intention to take a significant reserve write-down of its "proven" oil reserves of $161 million -- a 20% decline. As a result, Stone's stock price fell $7.93 to $48.14. On November 8, 2005, Stone announced its intention to restate its financial statements for 2001 through 2004 and for the first two quarters of 2005. The Company launched an internal investigation into its reserve practices and admits that it overstated its oil reserves.
