December 15, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 36 ORDER: Appellant Elliot Sagor adopted the arguments of other appellants, including specifically, ERISA arguments. See 15 Civ. 1263, Dkt. 13 at 30 ("Sagor Br."); see also Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789, Dkt. 6900 at 16 n.28 (referencing ERISA related arguments made by other claimants). However, Sagor represents that the relevant transfer in question originated from an "omnibus account" he contributed to "through some of my [law firm] partners," and was transferred into a "self-directed IRA account" with BLMIS because "I could not have pension money in a joint omnibus account at BLMIS" after his former law firm merged with another firm. Sagor Br. at 2-3. The arguments raised by Most regarding transfers from ERISA accounts to an IRA, therefore, do not appear to encompass the factual context of Sagor's claims because the transferor account was not held pursuant to an ERISA pension plan, and Sagor's brief does not offer any explanation for why the ERISA-based arguments would apply to his claims. The joint Appellants' Brief from the other three related cases, 15 Civ. 1151, Dkt. 12; 15 Civ. 1195, Dkt. 11; 15 Civ. 1236, Dkt. 14, do not adopt the arguments raised by Most regarding ERISA. Therefore, in light of Most's withdrawal of his appeal, it appears to the Court that Most's arguments pertaining to ERISA are no longer presented on this appeal, and no longer need be resolved. In the event that any party believes otherwise, it is to submit, via ECF, by December 17, 2015, a short letter to the Court explaining the basis for this position. (As further set forth in this Order) (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 12/15/2015) (kl)
