November 9, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 2021 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: #2019 Letter, filed by Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Credit Suisse Group AG. ENDORSEMENT: Application GRANTED. The exhibit at Dkt. No. 2020-5 shall remain under seal with access limited to the parties and counsel listed in Appendix C. The document sought to be sealed was not material to the Court's decision on the motion for which it originally was filed, nor was it offered at trial, so it is entitled to a relatively weak presumption of public access. That presumption is overcome by the interest in maintaining the confidentiality of private information about a non-party's employment, including compensation. See Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 11920 (2d Cir. 2006) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns., Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 599 (1978). (Signed by Judge Lorna G.

October 25, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 2018 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #1709 Letter Motion to Seal; granting in part and denying in part #1762 Letter Motion to Seal; granting in part and denying in part #1791 Letter Motion to Seal; granting in part and denying in part #1844 Letter Motion to Seal; granting in part and denying in part #1854 Letter Motion to Seal; granting in part and denying in part #1874 Letter Motion to Seal; granting in part and denying in part #1895 Letter Motion to Seal; granting in part and denying in part #1904 Letter Motion to Seal; granting in part and denying in part #1921 Letter Motion to Seal; granting in part and denying in part #1941 Letter Motion to Seal. ORDERED that the motions to seal are GRANTED in part. With the exceptions listed below, the documents listed in Appendices A to the parties' letters (Dkt. Nos. 1709-1, 1762, 1791-1, 1844-1, 1854-1, 1874-1, 1895-1, 1904-1, 1921-1, 1941-1) shall remain sealed, and only the parties and individuals identified in Appendices B to the parties' letters (Dkt. Nos. 1709-2, 1762, 1791-2, 1844-2, 1854-2, 1874-2, 1895-2, 1904-2, 1921-2, 1941-2) may have access. Although "[t]he common law right of public access to judicial documents is firmly rooted in our nations history," this right is not absolute, and courts "must balance competing considerations against" the presumption of access. Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 11920 (2d Cir. 2006) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns., Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 599 (1978) ("[T]he decision as to access is one best left to the sound discretion of the trial court, a discretion to be exercised in light of the relevant facts and circumstances of the particular case."). Filing the documents with redactions is necessary to prevent unauthorized dissemination of personal information, including personal information pertaining to individuals subject to foreign data privacy regimes. Filing the deposition transcripts under seal is necessary to prevent the disclosure of confidential business information that was not relied upon by any party or the Court and thus is subject to a weaker presumption of public access, but is included in the exhibits only because it is adjacent to the relevant portions. The relevant portions are, at a minimum, described in the publicly-filed letters and memoranda of law, and the transcripts of all portions of depositions that were presented to the jury have been filed on ECF as Court Exhibits 6A through 6O (Dkt. No. 1998-6). Filing the excerpts under seal rather than in redacted form is necessary to avoid speculation and misleading inferences about what might be redacted, particularly because the public will have access to descriptions of any relevant material in the parties' memoranda of law and the Court's Opinion and Order. It is further ORDERED that the motions to seal are DENIED in part without prejudice as follows. Plaintiffs' motion to seal at Dkt. No. 1844 seeks to maintain under seal redacted excerpts of deposition testimony and documentary evidence quoted in the memorandum of law at Dkt. No. 1849 solely on the grounds that they were marked Confidential or Highly Confidential, which is not controlling or sufficient to maintain documents under seal. Those excerpts are directly relevant to the parties' arguments on Plaintiffs' Daubert motion, and the presumption of public access to such judicial documents is strong. Plaintiffs' motion offers a similar rationale for redaction of quoted material in the expert reports at Dkt. Nos. 1850-1, 1850-2, 1850-5, 1850-6, 1850-7, 1850-12 and 1850-13, as well as the entirety of the exhibits at Dkt. Nos. 1850-8, 1850-10, which is similarly inadequate on its face to overcome the presumption of public access. Credit Suisse's motion to seal at Dkt. No. 1895 asserts that the expert reports at Dkt. Nos. 1899-3, 1899-5 and 1900-1 contain analyses based on non-party data designated Highly Confidential. Confidentiality designations do not control whether information may be filed under seal, and absent further support via an affidavit, the information underlying these analyses appears to be sufficiently stale that it is no longer competitively sensitive, even if it once was. The parties' joint motion to seal at Dkt. No. 1941 asserts that the internal bank policies at Dkt. Nos. 1942-8, 1942-9 and 1942-10 constitute highly sensitive business information, but those policies all appear to be almost a decade old or more. Credit Suisse's motion to seal at Dkt. No. 1854 asserts the same about excerpts contained within the expert reports at Dkt. Nos. 1861-1 and 1861-5, and Credit Suisse's motion to seal at Dkt. No. 1709 asserts the same about the policies and discussions about policies at Dkt. Nos. 1763-1, 1763-2, 1763-3, 1763-3, 1763-4, 1763-5, 1763-6, and one additional document at Dkt. No. 1769-6. Absent further support in the form of an affidavit, those policies appear to be too stale to be competitively sensitive and warrant sealing. It is further ORDERED that the parties' motions to seal are DENIED in part to the extent that any of the instant ten motions seeks to seal documents that ultimately were admitted into evidence at trial. No trial exhibits shall be redacted to any greater extent than they were at trial. By November 8, 2022, the parties shall file a letter either consenting to file the above documents publicly and attaching unredacted copies (or more lightly redacted copies), or renewing their motions to seal with additional evidentiary support. The parties' letter shall identify all trial exhibits implicated by the ten sealing motions addressed in this order and shall attach them in the same form in which they were submitted to the jury. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motions at Dkt. Nos. 1709, 1762, 1791, 1844, 1854, 1874, 1895, 1904, 1921 and 1941. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 10/25/2022) (mml)

October 21, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 2000 OPINION: WHEREAS, on August 26, 2022, Plaintiffs moved to exclude at trial certain proposed testimony of the Credit Suisse Defendants' ("Credit Suisse") experts Michael Melvin, Ph.D., Divya Mathur, Ph.D., Allan W. Kleidon, Ph.D., and Professor Justin McCrary. The parties subsequently resolved Plaintiffs' challenges to Professor McCrary and part of Dr. Kleidon's testimony, discussed at II.D and III of Plaintiffs' memorandum of law, and those portions of Plaintiffs' motion are DENIED as moot. On September 30, 2022, the Court issued a short Order resolving the remainder of Plaintiff' motion and stating that the reasoning for those decisions would be forthcoming in a separate Order (Dkt. No. 1944). The reasons for the Order at Dkt. No. 1944 are below. All references to Rules are to the Federal Rules of Evidence, as further set forth. Plaintiffs' application to preclude Dr. Kleidon's sensitivity analysis of Dr. Singer's regression analysis was granted. Plaintiffs persuasively argued that Dr. Kleidon's sensitivity analysis used an unreliable method and was applied unreliably. Further discussion is unnecessary because Dr. Singer did not offer any regression analysis at trial. Because Defendants elected not to present any of Dr. Kleidon's other opinions that they were permitted to offer, Plaintiffs' application to preclude those opinions is moot. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 10/21/2022) (mml)

October 17, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1991 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: #1990 Letter, filed by Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Credit Suisse Group AG. ENDORSEMENT: Plaintiffs' application to preclude testimony from Dr. Kleidon regarding Dr. Singer's regression model is GRANTED. Slides 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in Docket No. 1989-1 are precluded. These slides critique a regression analysis about which Dr. Singer did not testify. Any reference to the fact that Dr. Singer performed a regression analysis, that Defendants found fault with it, or that it was precluded in part by the Court, is excluded pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 403. The probative value of criticism of Dr. Singer's regression analysis is minimal because that analysis was not presented to the jury. Plaintiffs elected not to offer quantitative evidence of actual effects on spreads, and Defendants have argued and may argue that Plaintiffs' have not done so and that the evidence offered is insufficient to meet Plaintiffs' burden of proof. Defendants may not imply, however, that Plaintiffs were required to show that spreads were widened. The Court intends to instruct the jury in substance that, in order to prove a conspiracy, Plaintiffs are not required to show that the alleged conspiracy was successful or that spreads were actually widened. In light of other evidence and argument available to show that there was no conspiracy, the minimal probative value of criticism of Dr. Singer's regression analysis is substantially outweighed by the risk of confusing the jury and by the unfair prejudice to Plaintiffs from advising the jury, directly or indirectly, that Dr. Singer's analysis was excluded by the Court. Slide 4 is precluded because it suggests an inaccurate or misleading statement of the law: "What matters is that spreads were, in fact, inflated by the Challenged Conduct." Whether spreads were widened is at most one form of circumstantial evidence of a conspiracy, on which Plaintiffs do not rely. The jury will be instructed that actual widening of spreads is not required. Slide 4 and testimony that the impact of the alleged conspiracy on spreads is "what matters" are excluded under Rules 401, 402, 403 and 702. Slide 5 is similarly precluded. It quotes Dr. Singer as stating that his model showing the widening of spreads "speaks to the viability of the conspiracy." To the extent the statement references Dr. Singer's regression analysis, it is precluded under Rule 403 for the reasons stated above. If Defendants have an independent evidentiary basis, they may argue that the alleged conspiracy was not "viable" and therefore unlikely, but Defendants may not imply that "viability" is required in order to prove a conspiracy. So Ordered. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 10/16/2022) (mml)

October 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1973 ORDER: denying #1960 Letter Motion to Continue. It is unfortunate that defense counsel has tested positive for COVID, but the circumstances warrant proceedingwith the trial as scheduled. This case has been pending since 2013, and the Court's next available trial date is in the second quarter of 2023. Defense counsel's firm has six lawyers designated to try the case and ample additional resources. Counsel who is ill is responsible for only four of the twelve-to-fourteen live witnesses. Great effort and expense would have to be duplicated to prepare anew for trial in several months, even assuming the availability of lawyers and witnesses. For all of these reasons, the application is DENIED.. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 10/10/2022) (ama)
October 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1972 MEMO ENDORSEMENT: on re: #1962 Letter filed by Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Credit Suisse Group AG. ENDORSEMENT: Plaintiffs' application to preclude is GRANTED with respect to DTX 1032 through 1041 because a summary "must be 'based upon and fairly represent competent evidence already before the jury.'" Fagiola v. Nat'l Gypsum Co. AC & S., Inc., 906 F.2d 53, 57 (2d Cir. 1990); United States v. Ray, No. 20 Crim. 110, 2022 WL 558146, at *21 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 24, 2022). Whether or not Dr. Singer's Appendix might be admissible under an exception to the hearsay rule, it is not "already before the jury" since Defendants have not sought to admit it. Plaintiffs' application to preclude is GRANTED with respect to DTX 1046 because it will be misleading to the jury given the distorted scale on the y-axis and the apparently arbitrary choice of time-period on the x-axis. Plaintiffs' application to preclude is DENIED with respect to DTX 1041 through 1045, which "fairly represent" the chat evidence to be admitted on Plaintiffs' exhibit list. Id. Plaintiffs argue that the chats it will offer are not intended to be exhaustive, but as the Court has already ruled, both sides can argue to the jury what inferences should be drawn about chats not in evidence. Any risk of juror confusion over whether a "magicnumber" of chats or co-conspirators in chats is required to prove a conspiracy can be addressed with jury instructions (which the parties must request). There is no requirement that the documents underlying a summary be "complete nor randomly selected." Id.; accord United States v. Miller, 954 F.3d 551, 565 (2d Cir. 2020), cert. denied sub nom. Mack v. United States, 210 L. Ed. 2d 934, 141 S. Ct. 2806 (2021). That Defendants have performed simple arithmetic to summarize the evidence does not render the summaries impermissibly argumentative. See Fagiola, 906 F.3d at 58 ("[A] quintessential summary[ is] used to facilitate the jury's deliberations and to avoid forcing the jury to examine boxes of documents in order to make simple calculations."). Nor does that kind of operation render these summaries impermissible expert testimony because they did not require "scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge." United States v. Lebedev, 932 F.3d 40, 50 (2d Cir. 2019) (distinguishing summary testimony from expert testimony). Defendants made available the original documents underlying the summaries. Fed. R. Evid. 1006. Defendants disclosed the bases for the summaries sufficiently in advance of trial, given that the source is Plaintiffs' own exhibit list. Defendants' missing the deadline imposed by the Court's Order is excusable because Defendantwas responding to late changes in Plaintiffs' presentation. In light of their representations about her anticipated testimony, Defendants' choice of witness is not improper for substantially the reasons stated by Defendants above. (Signed by Judge Lorna G.

October 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1969 ORDER: denying #1959 Motion in Limine. Credit Suisse's application is DENIED.

Schofield on 10/10/2022) (ama)
October 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1968 ORDER: granting #1957 Letter Motion for Discovery. The Court previously held that evidence of closing or prohibiting chat rooms or barring the sharing ofspreads is inadmissible to prove culpable conduct under Rule 407 as subsequent remedial measures. The Court also held that such evidence could be admissible if offered for "impeachment" as contemplated by Rule 407. Credit Suisse seeks a ruling that its intended argument -- that "spread discussions served legitimate business purposes" and not conspiratorial agreement to widen spreads -- will not open the door to such impeachment evidence. The application is GRANTED. Evidence of subsequent measures closing or prohibiting chat rooms is precluded under Rule 407 as this evidence is too attenuated to warrant admission to impeach the Credit Suisse argument that spread discussions served legitimate business purposes. Evidence of subsequent measures prohibiting specifically the sharing of spreads, while potentially admissible as impeachment evidence under Rule 407, see Pitasi v. Stratton Corp., 968 F.2d 1558 (2d Cir. 1992), is precluded under Rule 403. Particularly in light of the Court's recent rulings concerning evidence of long-standing bank policies against spread-sharing, the incremental probative value of this subsequent remedial-measure evidence is minimal, since plaintiffs have abundant other evidence to achieve the same end. That limited probative value is substantially outweighed by the risk of prejudice, confusing the jury and wasting time. The unspoken inference or even an explicit instruction that the evidence may not be considered to prove "culpable conduct" but may be considered "for impeachment" under Rule 407, may be too fine a distinction for a jury to make, resulting in confusion and prejudice to Credit Suisse. In addition, if the evidence were admitted, Credit Suisse would be forced to provide evidence of alternative explanations leading to wasted time on ancillary issues. Cf. id. at 1561 (Because Pitasi was unable to introduce theremedial measures into evidence, it was impossible for him to rebut defendant's argument.... The probative value of this evidence clearly outweighed its prejudicial effect....). (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 10/08/2022) (ama)
October 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1967 MEMO ENDORSEMENT: on re: #1955 Letter filed by Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Credit Suisse Group AG. ENDORSEMENT: PTX 64 is admissible as redacted in Exhibit 1 to the parties' joint letter at Dkt. No. 1955. Nothing in the chat suggests that the trader was stating a new policy rather than an old one that he had discussed with lawyers or compliance personnel. The statement in the chat about banks "scanning chats now for evidence of information sharing" indicates that restrictions on information sharing were longstanding, though banks had stepped up enforcement. Plaintiffs shall redact the clauses that reference banks starting to scan chats and the trader's meeting with lawyers and compliance, as those passages indicate that the bank took subsequent remedial measures by increasing enforcement of or training on its existing policy. The remainder of the document, which discusses an apparently long-standing policy and not a subsequent remedial measure, is admissible. PTX 751 is excluded under Rule 407 because the statement that the trader could not share spreads "anymore" strongly suggests a subsequent remedial measure. Plaintiffs represent that that trader is referring to the samelong-standing policy as in PTX 64, but that is not clear from the chat itself.PTX 976 is excluded under Rule 407 because the limited portion Plaintiffs seek to introduce, beginning with "we are OK," appears to references changes in the way chatrooms can be used, which is a subsequent remedial measure. PTX 2508 is admissible. The Bank of America trader's reference to learning of the rule against sharing spreads in a "meeting" does not imply the rule is new, only at most that it was newly known or reinforced to that trader. The fact that the CS trader shares a spread immediately after being told not to do so is an example of spread-sharing continuing after the purported remedial measures were implemented. Defendants' point is well-taken that this chat may have occurred "subsequent" to wrongdoing by the BoA trader. But that this conduct was prohibited while members of the alleged conspiracy continued to engage in it is highly probative and not subject to Rule 407. PTX 2686 is excluded under Rule 407 because it discusses potential future subsequent remedial measures, including new policies and closing chatrooms. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 10/07/2022) (ama)

October 5, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1952 ORDER granting #1939 Motion for Gary D. Foster to Appear Pro Hac Vice (HEREBY ORDERED by Judge Lorna G. Schofield)(Text Only Order) (jcs)
October 4, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1951 ORDER APPROVING THE FOURTH DISTRIBUTION OF THE SETTLEMENT FUND granting #1935 Motion to Approve. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. This Order incorporates by reference the definitions in the Stipulations and Agreements of Settlement filed in this Action (ECF No. 481, Exs. 1-9; ECF No. 822, Exs. 1-5; ECF No. 877, Ex. 1) (the "Settlements"), and all capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Settlements or the Marr Declaration. 2. The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Action and over all the parties to the Action, including all Settlement Class Members. 3. Plaintiffs' plan for the fourth distribution of the Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants is APPROVED. Accordingly, a. The administrative recommendations of the Court-appointed Claims Administrator, Epiq Systems, Inc. ("Epiq"), to accept or accept in part the Authorized Claims set forth in Exhibits 1, 2, and 3 to the Marr Declaration are approved. b. Epiq shall conduct a "Fourth Distribution" of the Net Settlement Fund as follows: i. Authorized Claimants listed in Exhibit 1 to the Marr Declaration shall be paid $15. These Authorized Claimants will receive no additional funds in any subsequent distributions. ii. Authorized Claimants listed in Exhibit 2 to the Marr Declaration shall be paid $150. These Authorized Claimants will receive no additional funds in any subsequent distributions. iii. Authorized Claimants listed in Exhibit 3 to the Marr Declaration shall be paid their respective pro rata shares, subject to a 40% holdback on all claims exceeding $150, which will be held in reserve (the "Reserve") until the participation rate by volume and amount of the Net Settlement Fund are determined. The Reserve may also be used to address any contingencies that may arise after the distribution with respect to claims (including any appeals) and/or to pay for any Court-authorized future fees or expenses incurred in connection with administering the Settlements. To the extent the Reserve is not depleted, the remainder will be distributed in a subsequent distribution(s) to Authorized Claimants receiving pro rata payments. c. Epiq shall distribute payments to Authorized Claimants entitled to a de minimis payment ($15), automatic payment ($150), and a single pro rata payment below $1,000 (i.e., not part of a bulk submission or multiple payments going to a single filer) by check; Epiq shall distribute payments to Authorized Claimants entitled to pro rata payments of $1,000 or more in the form of check or wire. Authorized Claimants who provide deficient wire instructions shall receive a check. d. In order to encourage Authorized Claimants to promptly deposit their distribution checks, and to avoid or reduce future expenses relating to unpaid distribution checks, all distribution checks will bear a notation "CASH PROMPTLY; VOID AND SUBJECT TO RE-DISTRIBUTION IF NOT NEGOTIATED BY [DATE 90 DAYS AFTER ISSUE DATE]." e. Authorized Claimants who do not negotiate their funds within the time allotted will be presumed to forfeit any recovery for their respective Claim Forms from the Settlement Fund. Any forfeited recoveries will become available for re-distribution as part of subsequent distribution(s), and Authorized Claimants who do not negotiate their funds will not be eligible to participate in any subsequent distribution(s). 4. This Court retains jurisdiction to consider any further applications concerning the administration of the Settlements, and such other further relief as this Court deems appropriate. IT IS SO ORDERED.

October 3, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1948 STIPULATION AND ORDER: NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between counsel for the Parties, as follows: 1. Neither Party will call Oklahoma Firefighters and/or Virgin Islands (or any other named Plaintiff) as witnesses at trial; and 2.

SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 10/3/2022) (mml)
October 3, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1947 STIPULATION AND ORDER NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between counsel for the Parties, as follows: FIFTH AMENDMENT TESTIMONY 1. Plaintiffs shall be allowed to use up to, but no more than, 70 minutes of their allotted trial time to present Fifth Amendment testimony; 2. Plaintiffs must present their Fifth Amendment testimony in one continuous block of time; 3. Plaintiffs may choose to present their single block of Fifth Amendment testimony at any point in their case-in-chief and such block may start at the end of one trial day and continue until the next; 4. Plaintiffs shall be allowed to present testimony from Daniel Wise, Mitesh Parikh, Edward Pinto, Rohan Ramchandani, and Joseph Landes; 5. Plaintiffs shall be allowed to call Mr. Landes live, or in the event that he is unavailable, by video deposition designation; 6. Plaintiffs shall call the remaining four witness by video deposition testimony, which shall be provided to the Credit Suisse Defendants in accordance with the Court's order on deposition designations; 7. Credit Suisse reserves all rights to object to specific questions of each witness in accordance with the Courts order on deposition designation or at trial in the case of the live witness; and 8. At the conclusion of the testimony of the five aforementioned witnesses, the Parties agree that Plaintiffs may read the following paragraph to the jury: The following 21 FX traders asserted their Fifth Amendment rights under the United States Constitution and refused to testify about their conduct as FX traders during the Class Period, including their participation in multibank chats with FX traders from competitor banks where bid-ask spreads were discussed. Plaintiffs will then read the names of the 21 traders (identified on Attachment A) and the bank or banks at which they worked during the Class Period. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 9/22/2022) (jca)
October 3, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1946 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: 1942 Letter. ENDORSEMENT: References in chats to policies against the sharing of spreads among competitors are, for the most part, admissible for many of the same reasons that Defendants' Seventh Motion in Limine was denied in part. See Dkt. No. 1880. Chats that reference existing (not subsequent remedial) policies against information-sharing among competitors, which traders were informed prohibited sharing spreads, are admissible. Other chats that reference new or pre-existing policies and discuss continuing to share spreads despite those policies are admissible; even if some policies constitute remedial measures, they were not implemented "subsequent" to the ongoing conduct of defying or circumventing those policies. References to policy changes that prohibit spread discussions -- and do not reference ongoing efforts to circumvent those policies -- are excluded under Rule 407. References to the closure or prohibition of interbank chatrooms are excluded under Rule 407, because those policies were implemented subsequent to most of the alleged misconduct. Excluded references to policy changes and chatroom closures may become admissible for "impeachment" if Defendants open the door. Fed. R. Evid. 407; see Pitasi v. Stratton Corp., 968 F.2d 1558, 1560-1561 (2d Cir. 1992) ("[T]estimony concerning subsequent remedial measures is... admissible to rebut a defense...."); Hirsch v. Citibank, N.A., No. 12 Civ. 1124, 2014 WL 2745187, *16 n.21 (S.D.N.Y. June 10, 2014); see generally 2 Weinstein's Federal Evidence 407.07 (2021). For example, if Defendants offer evidence that the sharing of spreads was a routine or legitimate practice among FX dealers, such testimony could be impeached by evidence that the practice later was banned. Or if Defendants offer evidence that the sharing of information in chatrooms was undertaken for the benefit of customers rather than for the benefit of the participants, such testimony could be impeached by evidence that traders believed closing chatrooms would harm profitability and attempted to find workarounds. The parties shall meet and confer in an effort to agree on which chats are admissible, subject to redaction, or excluded based on the guidance above. The parties shall raise any outstanding disputes by October 6, 2022. If during trial Plaintiffs believe Defendants have opened the door, Plaintiffs shall seek a ruling from the Court before or after the trial day or during a break, when the jury is not present, on whether otherwise inadmissible evidence can be offered for impeachment. So Ordered. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 10/3/2022) (mml)

September 30, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1944 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #1846 Motion in Limine; granting in part and denying in part #1855 Motion re: #1846 MOTION in Limine to Exclude Credit Suisses Proposed Expert Opinions, #1855 MOTION to Exclude Plaintiffs' Proposed Expert Opinions . It is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs motion to exclude Professor McCrary's testimony and part of Dr. Kleidons testimony, discussed at II.D and III of Plaintiffs' memorandum of law, are DENIED as moot in light of the parties' resolution of those challenges. It is further ORDERED that Defendants' motion is GRANTED only to the following extent and otherwise is DENIED: Dr. Singer shall not interpret chats or opine on whether specific chats involve the sharing of price information among competitors, nor shall Dr. Singer read excessive numbers of chats into the record. Neither Dr. Singer nor Mr. Robin shall opine about guilty pleas or regulatory settlements. Dr. Singer shall not opine that the Conduct coefficient produced by his regression analysis measures the average difference in spreads between the entire conspiracy period and the post-conspiracy period he analyzed. Dr. Singer may, however, opine that his analysis measures the average difference in spreads between the second half of 2013 (the last six months of the alleged conspiracy period) and the first half of 2014. Counsel may argue whatever reasonable inferences may be drawn from such opinion. The parties may not directly or indirectly reference the Court's ruling as the reason for Dr. Singer's opinion being revised to comply with this Order. It is further ORDERED that Plaintiffs' motion is DENIED, except that Dr. Kleidon shall not opine on the sensitivity of Dr. Singer's regression model to the inclusion of an additional control variable for implied FX volatility. A short opinion explaining the foregoing rulings will be issued. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motions at Docket Numbers 1846 and 1855. (Signed by Judge Lorna G.

September 1, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1870 ORDER granting #1676 Letter Motion to Seal; granting #1683 Letter Motion to Seal. It is hereby ORDERED that the motion to seal is GRANTED. The documents filed at Docket No. 1677 and 1684 shall remain sealed, and only the parties and individuals identified in the attached Appendix will have access. Although "[t]he common law right of public access to judicial documents is firmly rooted in our nation's history," this right is not absolute, and courts "must balance competing considerations against" the presumption of access. Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 11920 (2d Cir. 2006) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns., Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 599 (1978) ("[T]he decision as to access is one best left to the sound discretion of the trial court, a discretion to be exercised in light of the relevant facts and circumstances of the particular case."). Filing the documents with redactions in that redacted form is necessary to prevent unauthorized dissemination of personal information, including personal information pertaining to individuals subject to foreign data privacy regimes. Filing the deposition transcripts under seal is necessary to prevent the disclosure of confidential business information that was not relied upon by any party or the Court in briefing or deciding the instant motion and thus is subject to a weaker presumption of public access, but is included in the exhibits only because it is adjacent to the relevant portions. Filing the excerpts under seal rather than in redacted form is necessary to avoid speculation and misleading inferences about what might be redacted, particularly because the public will have access to descriptions of any relevant material in the parties' memoranda of law and the Court's Opinion and Order. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motions at Dkt. Nos. 1676, 1683. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 9/1/2022) (mml)
August 31, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1869 ORDER denying #1864 Letter Motion for Extension of Time. Application DENIED. The trial will begin as scheduled on October 11, 2022. All parties have been aware of the trial date and pretrial deadlines for months. The Court appreciates the immense work that has gone into discovery in this action but is skeptical that presenting such a massive amount of evidence to the jury would facilitate the truth-seeking function of the trial, rather than confuse the issues with extraneous details. A focused presentation of the most important evidence on both sides will clarify rather than obscure the issues for the jury to decide.

The parties shall be prepared for jury selection, opening statements and the beginning of testimony on the first day of trial. After the first day, the parties shall be prepared to present five hours of testimony per day beginning at 10:00 A.M. and concluding at approximately 4:45 P.M.

The Court will not permit speaking objections or sidebars to deal with objections. It is further ORDERED that, by September 9, 2022, the parties shall meet and confer and file joint proposed jury instructions and voir dire. In preparing proposed jury instructions, even where the parties have substantive disagreements, the parties shall endeavor to agree on as much of the language of the instructions as possible and to narrow any disputed language to specific areas that will be affected by the resolution of legal disputes.

July 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 1698 ORDER APPROVING THE THIRD DISTRIBUTION OF THE SETTLEMENT FUND granting #1691 Motion to Approve. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. This Order incorporates by reference the definitions in the Stipulations and Agreements of Settlement filed in this Action (ECF Nos. 481) (Exs. 1-9), 822 (Exs. 1-5), 877 (Ex. 1) (the Settlements), and all capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Settlements or the Kovach Declaration. 2. The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Action and over all the parties to the Action, including all Settlement Class Members. 3. Plaintiffs' plan for the third distribution of the Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants is APPROVED. Accordingly, a. The administrative recommendations of the Court-appointed Claims Administrator, Epiq Systems, Inc. (Epiq), to accept or accept in part the Authorized Claims set forth in Exhibits 1, 2, and 3 to the Kovach Declaration are approved.b. Epiq shall conduct a Third Distribution of the Net Settlement Fund as follows: i. Authorized Claimants listed in Exhibit 1 to the Kovach Declaration shall be paid $15. These Authorized Claimants will receive no additional funds in any subsequent distributions. ii. Authorized Claimants listed in Exhibit 2 to the Kovach Declaration shall be paid $150. These Authorized Claimants will receive no additional funds in any subsequent distributions. iii. Authorized Claimants listed in Exhibit 3 to the Kovach Declaration shall be paid their respective pro rata shares, subject to a 40% holdback on all claims exceeding $150, which will be held in reserve (the Reserve) until the participation rate by volume and amount of the Net Settlement Fund are determined. The Reserve may also be used to address any contingencies that may arise after the distribution with respect to claims (including any appeals) and/or to pay for any Court-authorized future fees or expenses incurred in connection with administering the Settlements. To the extent the Reserve is not depleted, the remainder will be distributed in a subsequent distribution(s) to AuthorizedClaimants receiving pro rata payments. c. Epiq shall distribute payments to Authorized Claimants entitled to a de minimis payment ($15), automatic payment ($150), and a single pro rata payment below $1,000 (i.e., not part of a bulk submission or multiple payments going to a single filer) by check; Epiq shall distribute payments to Authorized Claimants entitled to pro rata payments of $1,000 or more in the form of check or wire. Authorized Claimants who provide deficient wire instructions shall receive a check. d. In order to encourage Authorized Claimants to promptly deposit their distribution checks, and to avoid or reduce future expenses relating to unpaid distribution checks, all distribution checks will bear a notation "CASH PROMPTLY; VOID AND SUBJECT TO RE-DISTRIBUTION IF NOT NEGOTIATED BY [DATE 90 DAYS AFTER ISSUE DATE]." e. Authorized Claimants who do not negotiate their funds within the time allotted will be presumed to forfeit any recovery for their respective Claim Forms from the Settlement Fund. Any forfeited recoveries will become available for re-distribution as part of subsequent distribution(s), and Authorized Claimants who do not negotiate their funds will not be eligible to participate in any subsequent distribution(s). 4. This Court retains jurisdiction to consider any further applications concerning the administration of the Settlements, and such other further relief as this Court deems appropriate. IT IS SO ORDERED.

July 24, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 1482 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #1478 Letter Motion for Conference. Application granted in part and denied in part. Pursuant to FRE 201, for the purpose of any motions, the Court will take judicial notice of guilty pleas, consent orders and regulatory settlements, for the fact of their existence but not necessarily for the truth of the facts asserted therein unless a hearsay exception applies, including for example FRE 801(d)(2) (opposing party's prior statement), 803(8) (public records), 803(22) (previous conviction). The application to admit documents into evidence is denied without prejudice as premature because relevance, probative value and FRE 403 considerations are all context specific.

Although the Court finds that Objector is unlikely to prevail on appeal, it cannot conclude that the appeal lacks any legal or factual basis. Wolters Kluwer, 564 F.3d at 114. Moreover, the Court is unaware of any Circuit precedent supporting the contention that sanctions pursuant to a court's inherent authority may be included in a Rule 7 appeal bond, and the Court is mindful of the Second Circuit's admonishment that "it is improper for a district court to impose sanctions for appeals taken to [the Court of Appeals]." See Schoenberg, 971 F.2d at 935. For the reasons discussed above, it is ORDERED that by March 15, 2019, Objector shall post a bond in the amount of $1,328. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motion at Docket No. 1152. (As further set forth in this Order.) (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 2/28/2019) (cf) Transmission to Finance Unit (Cashiers) for processing.

February 27, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 1192 ORDER: It is hereby ORDERED that the parties' redaction and seal requests, listed in Appendix A to the parties' February 14, 2019, letter, are GRANTED. Although "[t]he common law right of public access to judicial documents is firmly rooted in our nation's history," this right is not absolute, and courts "must balance competing considerations against" the presumption of access. Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 11920 (2d Cir. 2006) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Nixon v. Warner Commc'ns., Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 599 (1978) ("[T]he decision as to access is one best left to the sound discretion of the trial court, a discretion to be exercised in light of the relevant facts and circumstances of the particular case."). Filing the above-referenced documents in redacted form or wholly under seal is necessary to prevent the unauthorized dissemination of confidential business information, trade secrets and other sensitive information.

February 25, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 1190 ORDER granting #1166 Letter Motion to Compel; granting #1182 Letter Motion to Compel. It is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs' motion to compel the UBS Reports is GRANTED. UBS shall produce the UBS Reports to Plaintiffs by March 4, 2019. It is further ORDERED that UBS's redaction requests are DENIED. The Court construes UBS's February 22, 2019, letter as intending to assert that the proposed redactions concern non-public information. UBS states that the purpose of the redactions is to protect UBS's interest in maintaining the confidentiality of the employment arbitrations. These redactions are unnecessary because Plaintiffs have agreed that UBS can designate the UBS Reports as "confidential" or "highly confidential" under the Protective Order entered in this case (Dkt. No. 55). (As further set forth in this Order.) (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 2/25/2019) (cf)

January 22, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 1161 ORDER granting #1151 Letter Motion for Conference. It is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs' application for Rule 54(b) certification is GRANTED. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) "authorizes a district court to enter partial final judgment when three requirements have been satisfied: (1) there are multiple claims or parties, (2) at least one claim or the rights and liabilities of at least one party ha[ve] been finally determined, and (3) the court makes an express determination that there is no just reason for delay of entry of final judgment as to fewer than all of the claims or parties involved in the action." Linde v. Arab Bank, PLC, 882 F.3d 314, 32223 (quoting Acumen Re Mgmt. Corp. v. Gen. Sec. Nat'l Ins. Co., 769 F.3d 135, 140 (2d Cir. 2014)) (internal quotation marks and alterations omitted). "[I]n deciding whether there are no just reasons to delay the appeal of individual final judgments...a district court must take into account judicial administrative interests as well as the equities involved." Novick v. AXA Network, LLC, 642 F.3d 304, 310 (2d Cir. 2011) (quoting Curtiss-Wright Corp. v. General Elec. Co., 446 U.S. 1, 8 (1980)). In light of the historical federal policy against piecemeal appeals, a district court "generally should not grant a Rule 54(b) certification 'if the same or closely related issues remain to be litigated.'" Novick, 642 F.3d at 304 (quoting Harriscom Svenska AB v. Harris Corp., 947 F.2d 627, 629 (2d Cir. 1991)). The requirements of Rule 54(b) are met here. First, this action involves multiple claims and multiple parties. Second, the claims against fifteen of the sixteen Defendants were dismissed with prejudice upon final approval of the parties' settlements. Third, there are no just reasons for delay. The Fee Order pertains to issues that are separable and distinct from the remaining claims in this action. The remaining Defendant, Credit Suisse, has no interest in the attorneys' fees issue and has not objected to Rule 54(b) certification of the Fee Order. Delaying appeal would also increase settlement administration costs. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motion at Docket No. 1151. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 1/22/2019) (mro)

August 6, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 1110 FINAL APPROVAL ORDER OF SETTLEMENT AND FINAL JUDGMENT AND ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE AS TO SOCIETE GENERALE: WHEREAS the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement with Societe Generale (the "Settlement Agreement") provides for, among other things, a complete dismissal with prejudice of the claims asserted against Societe Generale ("SG") in the Action on the terms and conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreements, subject to the approval of this Court...the Court hereby affirms its determinations in the Preliminary Approval Order and certifies, for the purposes of settlement only, the following Settlement Classes, as further set forth in this order. The Court finds that the requirements of Rule 23(a) and 23(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are satisfied solely for settlement purposes as further set forth in this order. Pursuant to Rule 23(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court hereby grants final approval of the Settlement Agreement in all respects (including, without limitation: the Settlement Fund amount; the Releases; and the dismissal with prejudice of the claims asserted against UBS in the Action), and finds that the Settlement Agreement is, in all respects, fair, reasonable, and adequate to the Settlement Classes. In reaching this conclusion, the Court considered the factors set forth in City of Detroit v. Grinnell Corp., 495 F.2d 448, 463 (2d Cir. 1974), abrogated on other grounds by Goldberger v. Integrated Res., Inc., 209 F.3d 43 (2d Cir. 2000).

In reaching this conclusion, the Court considered the factors set forth in City of Detroit v. Grinnell Corp., 495 F.2d 448, 463 (2d Cir. 1974), abrogated on other grounds by Goldberger v. Integrated Res., Inc., 209 F.3d 43 (2d Cir. 2000). Except as to any claim of those Persons (identified in Exhibit A) who have validly and timely requested exclusion from the Settlement Classes ("Opt-Outs"), the Action and all claims contained therein, as well as all of the Released Claims against any of the Released Parties by Class Plaintiffs, Settlement Class Members, and Releasing Parties are each hereby dismissed with prejudice. The Parties are to bear their own costs, except as otherwise provided in the Settlement Agreement. There is no just reason for delay in the entry of this Final Order and Judgment, and immediate entry by the Clerk of the Court is expressly directed.

September 8, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 866 ORDER PRELIMINARILY APPROVING SETTLEMENTS, CONDITIONALLY CERTIFYING THE SETTLEMENT CLASSES AND APPOINTING CLASS COUNSEL AND CLASS REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE SETTLEMENT CLASSES granting #820 Motion for Settlement: NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND FOUND: All terms in initial capitalization used in this Order shall have the same meanings set forth in the Settlement Agreements, unless otherwise defined herein. Upon review of the record, the Court finds that the Settlement Agreements resulted from arm's-length negotiations between highly experienced counsel and fall within the range of possible approval. Therefore, the Settlement Agreements are hereby preliminarily approved, subject to further consideration at the Fairness Hearing described below. The Court preliminarily finds that the settlements encompassed by the Settlement Agreements raise no obvious reasons to doubt their fairness and provide a reasonable basis for presuming that the Settlement Agreements satisfy the requirements of Rules 23(c)(2) and 23(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and due process so that an appropriate notice of the Settlement Agreements should be given, subject to the Court's separate approval of a notice plan. Pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court preliminarily certifies, solely for purposes of effectuating the settlements set forth in the Settlement Agreements, as further set forth in this order. The Court approves the establishment of escrow accounts under the Settlement Agreements as Qualified Settlement Funds ("QSFs") pursuant to Internal Revenue Code 468B and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and retains continuing jurisdiction as to any issue that may arise in connection with the formulation or administration of the QSFs. 14. All funds held by the Escrow Agent shall be deemed and considered to be in custodia legis, and shall remain subject to the jurisdiction of the Court, until such time as such funds shall be distributed pursuant to the Settlement Agreements and further order(s) of the Court. 15. All reasonable expenses incurred in identifying and notifying potential Class Members as well as administering the Aggregate Settlement Funds shall be paid as set forth in the Settlement Agreements up to the sum of $500,000. Any such expenses in excess of $500,000 may be paid only with the approval of the Court. In the event the Court does not approve the settlements set forth in one or more of the Settlement Agreements, or if one or more of the Settlement Agreements otherwise fails to become effective, neither Class Plaintiffs nor any of their counsel shall have any obligation to repay any amounts actually and bona fide incurred or disbursed pursuant to paragraph 10(b) of such Settlement Agreement(s). All proceedings in the Action with respect to the Settling Defendants are stayed until further order of the Court, except as may be necessary to implement the settlements set forth in the Settlement Agreements or comply with the terms thereof. Pending final determination of whether the settlements set forth in the Settlement Agreements should be approved, each Class Plaintiff and each Class Member, either directly, representatively, or in any other capacity, shall be enjoined from prosecuting in any forum any Released Claim against any of the Released Parties, and shall not sue any of the Released Parties on the basis of any Released Claims or assist any third party in commencing or maintaining any suit against any Released Party related in any way to any Released Claims, and as further set forth in this order. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motion at Docket No. 820. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 9/8/2017) (jwh)

December 15, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 536 ORDER PRELIMINARILY APPROVING SETTLEMENTS, CONDITIONALLY CERTIFYING THE SETTLEMENT CLASSES, AND APPOINTING CLASS COUNSEL AND CLASS REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE SETTLEMENT CLASSES granting #479 Motion for Settlement. Upon review of the record, the Court finds that the Settlement Agreements resulted from arm's-length negotiations between highly experienced counsel and fall within the range of possible approval. Therefore, the Settlement Agreements are hereby preliminarily approved, subject to further consideration at the Fairness Hearing described below. The Court preliminarily finds that the settlements encompassed by the Settlement Agreements raise no obvious reasons to doubt their fairness and provide a reasonable basis for presuming that the Settlement Agreements satisfy the requirements of Rules 23(c)(2) and 23(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and due process so that an appropriate notice of the Settlement Agreements should be given, subject to the Court's approval of a notice plan as provided in this Order. Direct Class Plaintiffs will serve as class representatives on behalf of the Direct Settlement Class, and Exchange-Only Class Plaintiffs will serve as class representatives on behalf of the Exchange-Only Settlement Class. At a later date, Class Lead Counsel shall submit for the Court's approval a proposed Plan of Distribution of the Settlement Funds. The Court approves the Class Lead Counsel's designation of Huntington National Bank as Escrow Agent. All reasonable expenses incurred in identifying and notifying potential Class Members as well as administering the Aggregate Settlement Funds shall be paid as set forth in the Settlement Agreements up to the sum of $500,000. Any such expenses in excess of $500,000 may be paid only with the approval of the Court. In the event the Court does not approve the settlements set forth in one or more of the Settlement Agreements, or if one or more of the Settlement Agreements otherwise fails to become effective, neither Class Plaintiffs nor any of their counsel shall have any obligation to repay any amounts actually and bona fide incurred or disbursed pursuant to paragraph 10(b) of such Settlement Agreement(s).
