March 12, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 24 AMENDED OPINION: The Court holds that the various forms of process described in this opinion, which were authorized as to the FJP Funds located in New York and any ANSES property located in New York, were legally valid at the time they were ordered by the Court and remain legally valid, for the reasons set forth in this opinion. The process as to FJP Funds remains in effect now that the assets of these funds are transferred to ANSES pursuant to the new law. This holding is based on the record now before the court. It appears that more discovery will take place, resulting in further development of the facts. This may make additional rulings of the court necessary. However, the court deemed it essential to issue an opinion now on the basis of the present record, and it is doing so. Plaintiffs are directed to submit, on notice, proposed orders specifically dealing with the various motions which have been made. So Ordered. (Signed by Judge Thomas P. Griesa on 12/11/08) (js)
March 4, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 23 ORDER: The motions made in the Orders to Show Cause of October 29, November 5, November 6, November 7, November 12, and November 19, 2008, to authorize service of Writs of Execution and to permit the issuance of Restraining Notices, are granted. The Writs of Execution may be served, but no property may be seized except upon further order of the court. The court considers that its December 11, 2008 opinion applies to this additional Order to Show Cause, and the applications therein are granted, in a similar fashion as stated above. The motion for an attachment and for the issuance of Restraining Notices contained in one of the November 6,2008 Orders to Show Cause is granted. The motion of plaintiff NML Capital to confirm the Order of Attachment with regard to its eight cases (05 Civ. 2434, etc.) is granted. The court affirms the continued validity of its October 31, 2008 Order, as modified, permitting restraints and levies in 03 Civ. 2507 and 03 Civ. 8845. Insofar as the Republic moves to vacate the modified October 31, 2008 order in 03 Civ. 2507 and 03 Civ. 8845, that motion is denied. Insofar as the Republic moves to vacate the temporary relief granted to the plaintiffs pending the hearing of their main motions, the motion of the Republic regarding the temporary relief is denied as moot. NML's motion for expedited discovery is denied as moot. (Signed by Judge Thomas P. Griesa on 3/4/2009) (jpo)
