LOS ANGELES--([ ])--Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri on behalf of a class (the aClassa) consisting of all purchasers of the securities of Patriot Coal Corporation (aPatriot Coala or the aCompanya) (OTC Markets:PCXCQ) between October 21, 2010 and July 6, 2012, inclusive (the aClass Perioda), seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
