June 6, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 202 ORDER: Accordingly, the SEC requests that summary judgment practice be adjourned so that it may include its contemplated arguments regarding collateral estoppel in its papers. rd. at 3. The argument is not without force. However, the Court is not willing, given its own complicated trial schedule, which now extends until 2012, to move the trial from its long-set date of August 22, 2011. Fortunately, there is a way to accommodate the SEC's concerns without moving the trial date. First, the schedule for summary judgment for all parties not affected by the Rajaratnam verdict will remain as previously set. Second, if the SEC, Rajaratnam, or any other party affected by the Rajaratnam verdict wishes to have summary judgment practice after the July 29, 2011 sentence date, they may, in lieu of the aforementioned summary judgment schedule, proceed to summary judgment motion practice on the following expedited schedule: moving papers to be filed by August 3, 2011, opposition papers to be filed by August 9, 2011, no reply papers, oral argument on August 12, 2011 at 4:00P.M., and decision by August 15, 2011.

May 11, 2011 Filing 194 MEMORANDUM; granting 176 Motion to Compel. That on December 17, 2010, the SEC renewed its motion to compel defendants Raj Rajaratnam and Danielle Chiesi to produce to the SEC all relevant wiretapped communications in their possession.

The Court also considered defendants' other arguments and found them without merit. Accordingly, the Court issued, and now reaffirms, its January 31, 2011 Order granting the SEC's renewed motion.

Document filed by Securities and Exchange Commission.(mro) Modified on 4/6/2010 (mro).
April 5, 2010 Filing 159 CIVIL CASE MANAGEMENT PLAN: Ready for Trial by 2/14/2011. This case is to be tried to a jury. All depositions (including any expert depositions, see item 3 of this Order) must be completed by 1/7/2011. All Discovery due by 1/7/2011. Post-discovery summary judgment motions are to be served and filed by 1/14/2011. Responses are to be served and filed by 1/21/2011. Replies are to be served and filed by 1/26/2011. A final pretrial conference, as well as oral argument on any post-discovery summary judgment motions, shall be held on 2/1/2011 at 04:00 PM before Judge Jed S. Rakoff. Pretrial Order due by 2/10/2011. The Court will decide any summary judgment motion by 2/4/11. No motions in limine will be permitted. The Joint Pretrial Order will be due on 2/10/11. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 4/3/2010) (tro)
March 24, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 158 ORDER Now, however, a further factor has tipped the balance toward adjournment. Specifically, the Court of Appeals has today stayed the prior order of this Court directing certain defendants to turn over to the plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission the wiretapped conversations received by these defendants in the parallel criminal matter. See S.E.C. v. Galleon Management, LP, 10-0462-cv (Lead) (2d Cir. Mar. 24, 2010) (order granting stay pending appeal). The stay order also sets forth the schedule for the briefing of the appeal from this Court's order, with the final brief to be filed on June 8, 2010 and oral argument to be heard thereafter. Moreover, comments made by the presiding judge during the oral argument before the Court of Appeals suggest that the resolution of that appeal may also be affected by the resolution of the suppression hearing on the wiretap evidence currently scheduled to commence before Judge Holwell on June 17, 2010. Since, therefore, resolution of the wiretap issue cannot realistically be expected before July 2010, an August 2 trial is no longer practical, and counsel for several of the defendants will thereafter be occupied in preparing for the criminal trial set for October 2010. Thus, with reluctance, the Court hereby adjourns the trial of this case until Monday, February 14, 2011. Counsel should consult with one another as to a proposed new case management plan in light of this change, and fax to the Court their proposed joint plan or respective differing plans by no later than March 31, 2010. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 3/24/2010) (jmi)
