May 25, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 110 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. Plaintiff is 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 plaintiffs in the Seijas class actions 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)

November 18, 2015 Filing 94 AMENDED OPINION of USCA USCA Case Number 14-4385. Appellant the Republic of Argentina appeals from an order entered on August 29, 2014, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Griesa, Judge), modifying the class definition. On November 25, 2014, a panel of this Court granted permission to appeal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(f). Appellant argues that the District Court's new class definition violates the requirements of ascertainability contained in Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. We agree and hold that the class definition's reference to objective criteria is insufficient to establish an identifiable and administratively feasible class. We therefore VACATE and REMAND the case for an evidentiary hearing on damages. Catherine O'Hagan Wolfe, Clerk USCA for the Second Circuit. Certified: 11/18/2015. (nd)

August 29, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 90 ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO MODIFY CLASS DEFINITION AND CERTIFYING MODIFIED CLASS: granting #78 Motion to Modify Class Definition. 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 European Medium Term Note Bond, with a coupon rate of 9.25% and a maturity date of July 20, 2004 (ISIN XS011 3833510)," 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 (a) are the subject of a separately pending lawsuit or claim in arbitration to collect on such holdings or (b) 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 Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP and Steve W. Berman and Jeniphr A.E. Breckenridge as co-Class Counsel for the Holder Class and Henry H. Brecher as the Class Representative. (Signed by Judge Thomas P.
