April 29, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 1294 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER #106420: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Class Action and over all members of the Class. When all judgments in this Action become final, the Court will determine a procedure for establishing an escrow account into which the aggregate amount of Class Member Claimants' damages and interest for which Vivendi is liable will be deposited and from which attorneys' fees and expenses and Class Representative awards will be paid. The award of attorneys' fees shall be paid to Plaintiffs' Lead Counsel, who may allocate and distribute fees among lead plaintiffs' counsel in a fashion that, in the opinion of Plaintiffs' Lead Counsel, fairly compensates them for their respective contributions in the prosecution of the Class Action. (As further set forth in this Order.) The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this motion (Dkt. #1284). (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 4/29/2016) (cf) Modified on 5/3/2016 (ca).
April 29, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 1293 ORDER: Although all core substantive disputes in this action have been resolved by this Court, certain outstanding ministerial disputes inhibit the entry of a final judgment. In this case, Rule 54(b) partial final judgment with respect to the Covered Claims is appropriate because: (1) this action presents more than one claim for relief and involves multiple parties; (2) the rights and liabilities of the holders of the Covered Claims have been fully decided within the meaning of Section 1291 of Title 28 of the United States Code, even though some additional administrative proceedings with respect to holders of other claims remain to be concluded; and (3) the existence of outstanding ministerial disputes with respect to other claims provides no just reason for further delaying the substantive resolution of this fourteen-year-old action. Accordingly, if a final judgment is not reached within twenty-one days of entry of this Order, the Covered Claims will be certified for partial final judgment under Rule 54(b). (As further set forth in this Order.) (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 4/29/2016) (cf)
April 25, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 1292 OPINION AND ORDER #106423: For the foregoing reasons, Vivendi's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this motion (Dkt. No. 1279). (As further set forth in this Opinion) (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 4/25/2016) (kl) Modified on 5/3/2016 (ca).

August 18, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 1208 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER #104638. Halliburton II made no mention of how a plaintiff can prove price impact, and certainly did not address the maintenance theory of inflation relied upon by plaintiffs in Vivendi. While this is surely an interesting issue, the district court has made its ruling. Vivendi' s opportunity to challenge this theory of price impact, and the adequacy of the proof supporting it, lies with the Court of Appeals and perhaps the Supreme Court. Because this issue has already been fully litigated, and there being no intervening change in the law, Vivendi's request to file a new Rule 50(b) motion is DENIED. A conference to address the issues raised in the parties' most recent letters - August 12, 2014 from the plaintiffs [Dkt. No. 1206] and August 14, 2014 from the defendant [Dkt. No. 1207] - will be held on August 21, 2014 at 3:30 p.m. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 8/18/2014) (lmb) Modified on 8/21/2014 (ca).

January 9, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 712 ORDER: The individual plaintiffs' application to compel a further response to Interrogatory 20 is denied in part on the merits and denied in part as moot. To the extent the interrogatory seeks information for the period from 1998 through early 2000, the motion is denied on the grounds of relevance. To the extent the interrogatory seeks the reasons for particular transactions, the motion is denied on the ground that the interrogatory seeks information beyond the scope of that permitted by Local Civil Rule 33.3 and is not a more efficient mechanism of obtaining the information. In all other respects, in view if the representations mad in open court by counsel for Vivendi, Messier and Hannezo, the motion is denied as moot. The Individual Plaintiffs' application to compel 50ciete Generale Bank and Trust Luxembourg ("SG") to produce records concerning trading in Vivendi stock is denied. In the event that they are unable to resolve the issue on their own after my comments in Court, counsel are directed to advise my deputy, Mr. Ortiz, promptly of their availability to resolve the remaining issue concerning the subpoena to SG. The dispute concerning the putatively privileged documents produced by Vivendi is resolved as further set forth herein. The Individual Plaintiff's application to compel Vivendi to identify the bates numbers of the documents containing information responsive to Interrogatory 20 is denied without prejudice after counsel itself has attempted to locate the documents.

June 6, 2008 Opinion or Order Filing 564 ENDORSEMENT, Defendant Vivendi Universal, S.A.'s application, made by letter, dated June 2, 2008, to compel the production of documents concerning Motley Rice's relationship with the witness Jean-Charles Brisard is granted with respect to documents reflecting the amount Motley Rice has paid Brisard and the number of hours worked by Brisard. Insofar as Vivendi requests the Court to compel the production of documents that reflect the substance of Brisard's work for Motley Rice, the request is denied. Because Brisard's deposition is scheduled for June 11, Motley Rice is to complete its document production by 5:00 p.m. New York time on June 9, 2008. To the extent Vivendi seeks production of documents fro Brisard himself, that application is denied. Brisard is not a party and there has been no showing that a subpoena duces tecum has been served on him. There is, therefore, there is no legal basis on which to order him to produce documents.
