June 20, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 1284 DISCOVERY ORDER: I have reviewed the recent series of letters concerning the sur-rebuttal reports tendered by the Standard Chartered Plaintiffs on or about May 19,2014. I do not believe a conference to discuss the issues raised is necessary. One thing is clear: had the Ziff report not been substituted for the Zask report, whatever squabbles may have arisen with respect to the expert opinions of Martin, Picard, and Zask would have been resolved long ago. It is unfortunate that the parties' internecine warfare regarding experts is continuing. I will permit the sur-rebuttal reports to stand. Ziff, in turn, may supplement his report within thirty days. I further will permit continued depositions of all three experts within thirty days after any supplemental Ziff report is served. The Picard deposition shall be limited to ninety minutes. The Martin and Ziff depositions shall be limited to three hours. The subject matter of these depositions will be limited to any new opinions expressed in the reports prepared since Ziff was deposed. Each side shall bear the cost of producing its experts; no attorneys' fees will be shifted. Counsel should be wary of making any further applications concerning these experts.

March 27, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 1256 ORDER re: #910 Order, #1253 Endorsed Letter, #1255 Endorsed Letter. The Court received letters from defendants The Citco Group Ltd.; Citco Fund Services (Europe) B.V.; Citco (Canada) Inc.; Citco Global Custody N.V.; Citco Bank Nederland, N.V., Dublin Branch; and Citco Fund Services (Bermuda) Ltd. (collectively, the "Citco Defendants") and from Plaintiffs, respectively dated March 19 and March 24, 2014 (Dkt. Nos. 1253, 1255), seeking clarification of the Court's Decision and Order dated August 6, 2012 (Dkt. No. 910) (the "Order"). The Court provides the following clarification of the Order. The Order dismissed all of Plaintiffs' negligence-based initial investment claims against all of the defendants who were included in the defined term "Defendants" in the Order. (Dkt. No. 910, at 1-2.) These parties are as follows; PwC Canada and PwC Netherlands (together, the "PwC Defendants"); Fairfield Greenwich Ltd.; Fairfield Greenwich Group; Fairfield Heathcliff Capital, LLC; Fairfield Risk Services Ltd.; Greenwich Sentry L. P.; Fairfield Sentry Ltd.; Fairfield Greenwich (Bermuda) Ltd.; Fairfield Greenwich Advisors, LLC; Fairfield International Managers, Inc.; and Fairfield Greenwich Corp. (collectively, the "Fairfield Defendants"); GlobeOp Financial Services LLC ("GlobeOp" ); and the Citco Defendants (collectively with the PwC Defendants, the Fairfield Defendants, and GlobeOp, the "Defendants"). The fact that the final page of the Order refers to "the motion... of defendants PwC Canada and PwC Netherlands" (Dkt. No. 910, at 15) is purely ministerial and directs the electronic docketing department to terminate particular motions. That reference therefore should not be construed to imply that the Order applies only to the PwC Defendants. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Victor Marrero on 3/27/2014) (kgo)

June 27, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1157 NOTICE OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS by Richard E. Brodsky on behalf of Maridom Limited. New Address: The Brodsky Law Firm, PL, 200 South Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 1930, Miami, Florida, USA 33131, 786-220-3328. Filed In Associated Cases: 1:09-cv-00118-VM-FM et al.(Brodsky, Richard)
June 24, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1156 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Magistrate Judge Frank Maas from Richard E. Brodsky dated 6/21/201 re: I am counsel for the Maridom Plaintiffs and am writing as Liaison Counsel for the Standard Chartered Plaintiffs' Steering Committee. This letter is in response to the letter to Your Honor from a Paul Weiss attorney, Andrew Gordon, earlier today. Moreover, this egregious situation is not solved by belatedly providing us notice of the remaining deposition schedule. We need to know when Sullivan & Cromwell was provided effective notice of the depositions; they had a major advantage over us because of what amounted to advance notice, and it is astounding that any lawyer would claim lack of responsibility for affirmatively providing fair notice to all counsel of upcoming depositions. We also need to have the opportunity to retake those depositions that took place over the last two weeks. This relief is requested in our first letter sent yesterday. ENDORSEMENT: While I understand Mr. Brodsky's dismay, I also understand that opposing counsel have offered to work with him to ameliorate any prejudice. Absent some indication that both sides have conferred in good faith and been unable to reach a suitable resolution, I do not intend to take any further steps. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Frank Maas on 6/24/2013) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:09-cv-00118-VM-FM et al.(djc)
June 21, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1155 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Magistrate Judge Frank Maas from Richard E. Brodsky dated 6/20/2013 re: I am counsel for the Maridom Plaintiffs and am writing as Liaison Counsel for the Standard Chartered Plaintiffs' Steering Committee. This letter concerns the failure of those taking depositions in the above-referenced case (primarily, it appears, counsel for Citco from Paul, Weiss) to provide notice to us of scheduled depositions. ENDORSEMENT: Since The Standard Chartered Plaintiffs are now aware of the remaining depositions schedule, I see no emergency. To the extent prior notice was deficient, I expect counsel to confer, and they may submit any unresolved issues to me for resolution. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Frank Maas on 6/21/2013) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:09-cv-00118-VM-FM et al. (djc)
June 20, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1154 DISCOVERY ORDER: The Standard Chartered parties have asked me to resolve yet another dispute concerning expert discovery. Accordingly, in the absence of any specific limitations applicable to expert discovery, I agree with the Plaintiffs that Rule 26(b)(1) governs. The Defendants' objections that the Plaintiffs' requests are beyond the permissible scope of expert discovery therefore are overruled. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Frank Maas on 6/19/2013) Copies Sent By Chambers to Hon. Victor Marrero, United States District Judge.

May 10, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1141 DECISION AND ORDER: That ruling now stands as the law of the case on the grounds there articulated. Accordingly, the Court does not have before it any decision, or any recognized procedural means by which to rescind it or take it back and the Maridom plaintiffs have pointed to none. In particular, there is no basis predicated on Florida's economic loss rule that would warrant permitting the Maridom plaintiffs to amend their complaint to include negligence claims based on the clarification of Florida's economic loss rule in Tiara Condo. On this basis, therefore, the Court concludes that the May 8 Order cannot extend to permit the Maridom plaintiffs at this time to amend their complaint to add the negligence claims the Court on other grounds had denied them leave to plead.

May 10, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1140 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Victor Marrero from Andrew Hammond dated 5/8/2013 re: White & Case LLP ("White & Case" or the "Firm") is acting as attorneys for Walter M. Noel, Jr. in the above-referenced matter currently before Your Honor ("Anwar Matter"). The purpose of this letter is to inform Chambers as well as parties copied on this letter that Scott Levi, a former summer intern to Your Honor during May through August 2012 intends to join White & Case as a summer law clerk this summer. It is our understanding that Mr. Levi did not work on the Anwar Matter during the course of his internship. Nevertheless, White & Case will screen Mr. Levi completely from any involvement in the Anwar Matter in accordance with the Firm's customary procedures and in accordance with applicable rules of professional responsibility. We assume that such screening removes all questions as to the propriety of Mr. Levi's employment while our Firm continues the representation set forth above. If there is a contrary view, we respectfully request both Mr. Levi and the Firm be informed. To the extent that Your Honor deems additional notice is appropriate, White and Case will serve and file whatever notices Your Honor directs ENDORSEMENT: The Clerk of Court is directed to enter into the public record of this action the letter above submitted to the Court by Counsel for defendant Walter M.

Accordingly, Standard Chartered respectfully requests that the Court confirm that today's ruling does not permit the Maridom plaintiffs to plead their negligence claims. ENDORSEMENT: The Clerk of Court is directed to enter into the public record of this action the letter above submitted to the court by The Standard Chartered defendants. So Ordered.

May 10, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1138 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Victor Marrero from Richard E. Brodsky dated 5/9/2013 re: Counsel writes on behalf of Maridom Limited, Caribetrans, S.A., and Abbot Capital, Inc. This letter is in response to the letter to Your Honor from Bradley Smith, one of Standard Chartered Bank's counsel, which was sent after the telephone conference held yesterday, May 8, 2013. That conference concerned certain Standard Chartered Plaintiffs' request for a conference concerning the effect of the Florida Supreme Court's decision limiting the Florida economic loss doctrine on negligence claims in the Standard Chartered Cases. In Mr. Smith's letter, the Bank asks that the Court reverse itself on a decision the Court announced at the conference: that the Maridom Plaintiffs would be permitted to amend their complaint to add a negligence claim, just like other Standard Chartered Plaintiffs. While this Court did not refer to the proposed negligence claim in its initial decision to deny leave to amend, Anwar v. Fairfield Greenwich Ltd., No. 09-cv-118, 2012 WL 1415621 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 13, 2012), it did so in denying the Maridom Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration, 283 F.RD. 193. 109 (2012) (holding amendment to add negligence count would be futile "as the Court economic loss rule would bar claims of negligence arising from professional services governed by a contractual relationship."). There is, however, no question that the futility doctrine was not the only reason that Your Honor denied my clients leave in 2012 to add this claim. The question is whether it is logical, fair or otherwise required that, at the same time as other plaintiffs are allowed to add this claim to their lawsuits, the Maridom Plaintiffs should not be allowed to add it to theirs. Fairness and logic dictate that this amendment be permitted. To follow the Defendants' request would unfairly, arbitrarily and unjustifiably elevate form over substance. The Maridom Plaintiffs are constrained by Your Honor's comments at the conference to avoid attempting to bring up any other issue. Instead, they request that Your Honor adhere to the ruling made at the conference related to the Maridom Plaintiffs. ENDORSEMENT: The Clerk of Court is directed to enter into the public record of this action the letter above submitted to the court by the Maridom Plaintiff. So Ordered.

Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. SC10-1022, 2013 WL 828003 (Fla. 2013).

May 2, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1129 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Victor Marrero from Richard E Brodsky dated 5/1/2013 re: Counsel writes on behalf of Maridom Limited, Caribetrans, S.A and Abbot Capital Inc. Plaintiffs in one of the Standard Chartered Cases. This letter is in reply to the April 30, 2013 letter from Sharon Nelles of Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP to Your Honor, responding to letters fro various Standard Chartered Plaintiffs (including mine dated April 22. 2013 ["Maridom Letter]) concerning leave to amend their respective complaints. This letter is addressed solely to points made (or not made) by Ms. Nelles in response to my letter. The Defendants' letter ignores many of the points made in the Maridom Letter, including the highly significant fact, Maridom Letter at 2, that, as now presented, the proposed Maridom amendment is substantially narrower than the proposed second amended complaint, which the court earlier rejected as tardy. Anwar v. Fairfield Greenwich Ltd., No. 09-cv-118, 2012 WL 1415621 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 13, 2012) (holding that all amendments were required several months before discovery commenced), reh'g denied, 283 F.R.D. 193 (2012). Undeniably, any prejudice that the earlier amendment might have caused the defendants will be considerably lesened were the Court grant leave to amend as we now request.

April 30, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1126 ENDORSED LETTER: addressed to Judge Victor Marrero from Jorge A. Mestre dated 4/29/2013 re: Counsel for Plaintiff write to supplement our April 23, 2013 letter to the Court requesting that the clerk not immediately file the two Declarations of Sebastian Gonzalez (dated February 17, 2012 and August 22, 2012), which were attached as Exhibit A to Headway's April 22, 2013 letter REQUESTING a pre-motion conference regarding a motion for leave to amend. As we stated in our April 23rd letter, Headway promptly made this request after counsel for the Standard Chartered Defendants (the "Bank") informed us that the Bank wanted to designate the declarations as confidential pursuant to February 4, 2011 Stipulation and Order Governing Confidentiality of Discovery Material (the "Confidentiality Order"). Because the Confidentiality Order applies only to "discovery material" that is "confidential," and the declarations are neither, we advised counsel for the bank that we object and would oppose any attempt by the Bank to designate the declarations as confidential. That said, we agreed to inform the Court of the dispute and request that Exhibit A to Headway's April 22, 2013 letter not be entered into the public record until the parties have briefed the Bank's designation request, and the Court has had a chance to 'evaluate it. However, we want it to be abundantly clear, even before any briefing occurs -if the Court feels it is even called for -that the declarations are neither discovery material nor confidential, and that, in any event, the documents are not the Bank's documents. Thus, the Bank has no standing whatsoever to claim that they should be designated as confidential. Under the Confidentiality Order, the Bank has no standing to designate Headway's documents as confidential. The Confidentiality Order states that "the designation of Discovery Material) as "Confidential" for the purpose of this Stipulation ENDORSEMENT: The parties are directed to address the matter set forth above to Magistrate Judge Frank Maas, to whom this action has been referred for supervision.

This Court previously denied an identical request from Headway, as well as Headway's subsequent motion to reconsider. Because the Court's reasoning in both the April 13 and June 22 Orders forecloses Headway's current request, and Headway points to no new circumstances justifying the relief sought, PWC Netherlands respectfully requests that the Court deny Headway's request for a premotion conference as well as its request to amend the complaint.

Moreover, with the substantially streamlined proposed amendment, the burden on the Defendants will be even less than what would have been caused if the original amendment had been permitted.
