The Court acknowledges, as the parties have, that Mr. Gleizer and Mr. Giancaterino are entitled to divide a 25% "origination" fee. The Court has already decided that, for the reasons stated on the record during the oral argument, with respect to the remaining 75%, from the Diaz Reus firm's one third, Mr. Gleizer shall be entitled to such proportion as would be yielded by a loadstar of $800,000. In reviewing the DRT hours, including Mr. Giancaterino's hours, in order to avoid double counting with respect to Mr. Giancaterino, the loadstar attributed to his DRT hours shall be $1,000,000. Counsel shall recalculate the applicable division of fees, confer, and submit their joint findings to the Court no later than March 22, 2018. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motions reflected in the following actions: 04-cv-0400, Dkt. no. 385; 04-cv-0401, Dkt. no. 277; 04-cv-0506, Dkt. no. 274; 04-cv-0936, Dkt. no. 279; 04-cv-0937, Dkt. no. 275; 04-cv-1085, Dkt. no. 276; 04-cv-2117, Dkt. no. 274; 04-cv-2118, Dkt. no. 265.

January 20, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 293 ORDER. The Court has previously found that the "settlements in all cases in the Argentina debt litigation present the court with extraordinary circumstances because the settlements are of critical importance to the economic health of a nation." Order at 1, NML Capital, Ltd. v. Republic of Argentina, No. 07 Civ. 2690 (TPG) (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 15, 2016), ECF No. 413 (quotation omitted). Accordingly, the Court has also previously found that "[a]ny attempt to attach, restrain, or otherwise encumber funds intended for settlement of any action would be contrary to the public interest." Id. at 1-2 (collecting cases). Therefore, it is now hereby ORDERED as follows: All bonds subject to the settlement and funds transferred to and held by the escrow agent pursuant to the settlement agreement in the above-captioned actions (the "Seijas class actions") shall be deemed and considered to be in custodia legis of the Court, shall not be subject to attachment, execution, or restraint by any creditor of Argentina or by any other person, and shall remain subject to the jurisdiction of the Court, until such time as such funds shall be distributed and the bonds cancelled pursuant to the settlement agreement. IT IS SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Loretta A. Preska on 12/8/2017) (rjm).

May 25, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 207 ORDER: On May 23, 2016, plaintiffs in the Seijas and Brecher class actions filed motions for preliminary approval of settlement. In the memoranda in support of their motions, plaintiffs briefly address the issue of an additional opt-out period under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(e)(4). Plaintiffs submit that the court should not permit an additional opt-out period. See Seijas Mem. L. 11; Brecher Mem. L. 13-14. If the court were inclined to permit an additional opt-out period, however, the Seijas plaintiffs "request the opportunity to be heard more fully on the issue, including on potential mechanics" that could "minimize or avoid the risk of free-riding." Seijas Mem. L. 11. The court is considering whether to permit an additional opt-out period. Plaintiffs are invited to submit a memorandum, limited to three pages, by 5:00 p.m. tomorrow on the issue of whether the court should permit an additional opt-out period. The memorandum may also suggest potential mechanics that could minimize or avoid the risk of free-riding. The court has also invited plaintiff in the Brecher class action to submit a memorandum. The Republic of Argentina may submit its own memorandum, limited to three pages, by 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. If any of the parties to the Seijas and Brecher class actions wish to confer and jointly submit a memorandum, they may do so. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Thomas P. Griesa on 5/25/2016) (kl)

April 24, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 124 ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO MODIFY CLASS DEFINITION AND CERTIFYING MODIFIED CLASS: granting 117 Motion to Modify Class Definitions. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. The Court finds: There is good and sufficient cause to modify the existing class definition to encompass the Holder Class; modification of the class definition will serve the interests of justice and will not prejudice Argentina or any holder; the Holder Class satisfies the requirements of Rule 23 (including numerosity, commonality, typicality, and fair and adequate representation) and is ascertainable by reference to objective criteria; and the requirements of FED. R. CIV. P. 23(b)(3) and 23(c)(2)(B) will be satisfied, and Due Process rights of actual and potential Holder Class members will be protected, by notice and opt out procedures. 2. The Court therefore GRANTS Plaintiffs' motion to modify the class definition to encompass, as modified, "all holders of Republic of Argentina 8.375% Global Notes due December 20,2003 (CUSIP/ISIN # US040114AH34)," a "holder" being an owner of a beneficial interest in said bonds. Excluded from the Holder Class are all holders to the extent that their holdings (x) are the subject of a separately pending lawsuit or claim in arbitration to collect on such holdings or (y) have been exchanged for new bonds or otherwise extinguished. Holders that timely opt out pursuant to the attached procedures also will be excluded from the Holder Class. 3. The Court hereby appoints Proskauer Rose LLP, Diaz Reus & Targ LLP, and Saul Roffe as co-Class Counsel for the Holder Class. (Signed by Judge Thomas P. Griesa on 4/24/2014) (lmb)
