On August 24, 2009, relief defendant Janet Walsh (Schaberg) attempted to file via ECF an "Emergency Application for Release of Funds," and apparently hand-delivered a copy of the same to the Court's chambers. According to a transaction entered on the Court's ECF system, Ms, Schaberg's ECF filing was rejected, because the clerk's office does not accept letters for filing. Subsequently, on August 28, 2009, this Court entered an Order referring Relief Defendant Schaberg's Application for Release of Funds to the Receiver and directed the Receiver for examination and review of her claimed expenses, and the availability of alternative funds or third party contributions, and thereafter to submit a report and recommendation within 30 days regarding whether any frozen funds should be used or released, to pay any of Relief Defendant Schaberg's identifiable bills and/or living expenses. The CFTC and SEC respectfully request that the Court allow plaintiffs in the respective cases be permitted to file such a response and opposition, if any, within 10 business days after the issuance of the Receiver's Report and Recommendation. ENDORSEMENT: IT IS SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge George B. Daniels on 9/9/2009) (jmi)
