September 21, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 456 OPINION AND ORDER re: #386 MOTION to Preclude Expert Testimony. filed by Barclays Capital Inc., Bank of America Corporation, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, Royal Bank of Canada, Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, RBC Capital Markets LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays Bank PLC, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Banc of America Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Wachovia Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc., Citibank N.A., Bank of America, N.A., Citigroup, Inc., #362 MOTION to Certify Class and. MOTION to Appoint Counsel . filed by City of Philadelphia, Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs' motion for class certification is GRANTED and Defendants' motion to preclude Dr. Schwert and Dr. Abrantes-Metz is DENIED. No later than two weeks from the date of this Opinion and Order, Plaintiffs shall file a proposed order consistent with this Opinion and Order and prescribing procedures by which class members will be provided notice and an opportunity to opt out of the class. By the same date, Plaintiffs shall file a letter brief addressing why their proposals for notice and opting out are consistent with the requirements of Rule 23 and due process One housekeeping matter remains. In several prior Orders, the Court granted the parties permission to file documents temporarily under seal. See ECF No. 372, 401, 434, 446. Both parties filed documents under seal in connection with their respective motions. See, e.g., ECF Nos. 363-64, 366, 370-71, 387-91, 393-96, 398, 404, 411-14, 423-25, 429-30, 433, 435, 443-44. It is well established that filings that are "relevant to the performance of the judicial function and useful in the judicial process are considered judicial documents" to which a presumption in favor of public access attaches. Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 119 (2d Cir. 2006). Significantly, assessment of whether the presumption in favor of public access is overcome must be made on a document-by-document basis. See, e.g., Brown v. Maxwell, 929 F.3d 41, 48 (2d Cir. 2019). And the mere fact that information is subject to a confidentiality agreement between litigants is not a valid basis to overcome that presumption. See, e.g., United States v. Wells Fargo Bank N.A., No. 12-CV-7527 (JMF), 2015 WL 3999074, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2015) (citing cases). In light of this Opinion and Order, and to facilitate the Court's review of the parties' requests, the parties shall, no later than two weeks from the date of this Opinion and Order, submit a joint letter with a single chart listing each and every document that any party (or third party) believes should remain under seal or in redacted form with a hyperlinked reference to the docket number of the document; the party (or third party) who seeks to keep the document under seal; a succinct (i.e., two- or three-word) justification for the request; and a hyperlinked reference to any prior letter-motion that addresses the document. For the sake of completeness, the parties should include in this chart any document that the Court has already determined should be kept under seal permanently and include a hyperlinked reference to the Court's prior ruling in the chart. To the extent that the parties (and, as relevant, third parties) agree that a document previously filed under seal or in redacted form can or should be filed publicly, the parties should include that in the letter, with a hyperlinked reference to the relevant document. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate ECF Nos. 362 and 386. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 9/21/23) (yv)

June 27, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 448 LETTER addressed to Judge Jesse M. Furman from All Counsel dated June 27, 2023 re: Oral Argument on Pending Class Certification and Daubert Motions. Document filed by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A...(Wick, Robert)
June 26, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 447 ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that oral argument in this matter, previously scheduled for July 6, 2023, is ADJOURNED to July 20, 2023, at 10:15 a.m. Oral argument will still be held in person in Courtroom 1105 of the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York. If any party has an unmovable conflict with the new date and time, the parties should immediately confer and file a joint letter to that effect, proposing other dates and times during the weeks of July 17th and July 24th that would work for all parties. Each side should anticipate being allotted a cumulative total of approximately sixty minutes. The Court approves the parties' request to address the class certification and Daubert motions in "integrated" fashion. See ECF No. 445. That said, the parties should not necessarily plan on uninterrupted "presentations," id., as there is likely to be back and forth at the Court's direction and the Court is likely to interrupt with questions. To assist the parties in preparing, the Court may issue an additional Order next week identifying issues and questions that the parties should be prepared to address during the oral argument.

The parties are reminded that, per the Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order ("CMP"), ECF No. 279, counsel should submit their joint status letter on ECF no later than the Thursday prior to the upcoming pretrial conference. The letter should address, in addition to the issues set forth in the CMP, whether the parties can do without a conference altogether. Unless and until the Court orders otherwise, all existing dates and deadlines - including, as appropriate, the deadlines for class certification motions, summary judgment motions, and/or a proposed joint pretrial order, as set forth in the CMP - remain in effect. If, after reviewing the parties' joint status letter, the Court concludes that a conference is unnecessary at this time, it will issue an order canceling or rescheduling it. If a conference is held, it will be by telephone. The parties should join it by calling the Court's dedicated conference line at (888) 363-4749 and using access code 542-1540, followed by the pound (#) key. Further, counsel should review and comply with the procedures for telephone conferences set forth in the Court's Individual Rules and Practices for Civil Cases, available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-jesse-m-furman, including Rule 3(B)(i), which requires the parties, no later than 24 hours before the conference, to send a joint email to the Court with the names and honorifics (e.g., Mr., Ms., Dr., etc.) of counsel who may speak during the teleconference and the telephone numbers from which counsel expect to join the call.

R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(A) and this Stipulation and Order (hereinafter "expert witness[es]"). Its terms do not and are not intended to apply to non-testifying, consulting experts, including any such individuals who are also fact witnesses. To the extent this Stipulation and Order limits discovery that would otherwise be available pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Parties agree to abide by the limits set forth in this Stipulation and Order. Nothing in this Stipulation and Order constitutes an admission or concession that any of the information exempted from discovery by this Stipulation and Order would otherwise be discoverable or admissible. Further, nothing in this Stipulation and Order requires discovery of any information that would otherwise be protected from discovery by the attorney client privilege, work product doctrine, or other applicable privileges or protections. Each Party shall make all disclosures required by Rule 26(a)(2)(A) and (B)(i), (iii), (iv), (v), and (vi) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as modified by this Stipulation and Order, at the times provided by any applicable rules and Court order(s) governing the disclosure of expert testimony in this Action. Within four (4) days of disclosing any expert testimony, including written reports, the Parties that engaged the expert shall produce to all Parties all facts, data and other information that the expert witness relied upon in forming his or her opinion(s); provided, however, that to comply with this Paragraph, a Party need not produce, but may simply identify in writing, as further set forth herein. This Stipulation and Order does not impose any independent obligation to retain the information covered by Paragraph 5 herein. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Stipulation and Order, this Stipulation and Order does not preclude or limit discovery regarding expert work, data, calculations, or other material filed with or otherwise submitted to the Court outside of written expert witness reports or disclosed expert witness testimony. This Stipulation and Order also does not preclude questions at deposition, hearing or trial related to an expert witness's compensation or to the number of hours the expert witness expended in preparing his or her opinion(s). Further, nothing herein shall be construed to prevent questions relating to the substance of the expert witness's opinion(s), as further set forth herein. Nothing herein shall limit or waive any Party's right to object to the admission into evidence of any opposing Party's expert witness report or opinion(s) or other materials, or to the qualification of any person to serve as an expert witness. No subpoena for deposition or documents need be served on any expert witness. Instead, the Party who retained the expert witness shall make the expert witness available for a deposition at a time and place mutually agreeable to the Parties in accordance with the case schedule and upon reasonable notice, and shall produce documents in accordance with the terms of this Stipulation and Order. This Stipulation and Order may be amended only by a subsequent written stipulation among the Parties or upon order of the Court. This Stipulation and Order may be executed in counterparts and shall become effective as a stipulation as among the executing Parties immediately upon its execution by such executing Parties. (As further set forth in this Order.) IT IS SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 10/19/2022) (vfr)

August 22, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 340 ORDER: In light of the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, the Court will not hold the upcoming conference in this case in person. Counsel should submit their joint status letter on ECF no later than the Thursday prior to the conference, the contents of which are described in the Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order. See ECF No. 279. In their joint letter, the parties should also indicate whether they can do without a conference altogether. Unless and until the Court orders otherwise, all existing dates and deadlines - including, as appropriate, the deadlines for summary judgment motions and/or a proposed joint pretrial order, as set forth in the Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order - remain in effect. After reviewing the parties' joint status letter, the Court will issue an order indicating whether the conference is cancelled and addressing any other relevant deadlines and information. If a conference is held, it will be by telephone, albeit perhaps at a different time. To that end, if counsel believe that a conference would be appropriate, they should indicate in their joint status letter dates and times during the week of the currently scheduled conference that they would be available for a telephone conference. In either case, counsel should review and comply with the Court's Emergency Individual Rules and Practices in Light of COVID-19, available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-jesse-m-furman. SO ORDERED.

July 12, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 319 ORDER with respect to #315 Letter Motion for Local Rule 37.2 Conference: Upon review of the parties' letters, the terms of the applicable Protective Orders, and the relevant case law, the Court sees no need for a conference at this time. The Court agrees with Defendants that, to the extent that the subpoena seeks information that is within the scope of a protective order entered in one or the other of the qui tam actions, the subpoena cannot be complied with absent modification of the relevant protective order. Unless Plaintiffs can cite authority for the proposition that this Court has authority to modify the terms of a protective order entered by another court (a state court, no less) in a pending action, the Court is inclined to believe that any modification must be sought and obtained, consistent with the terms of the applicable protective order, from the court that entered the order. In light of the foregoing, Defendants need not move to quash at this time. Edelweiss shall not comply with the subpoenas unless and until the Court orders otherwise or the protective orders are modified to permit disclosure in this action. (HEREBY ORDERED by Judge Jesse M. Furman)(Text Only Order) (Furman, Jesse)

May 26, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 303 ORDER denying #299 Letter Motion for Conference. Upon review of the parties' submissions, the Court concludes that there is no need for a conference. Instead, Plaintiffs' letter-motion is denied substantially for the reasons stated in Defendants' response. See ECF No. #301 . Whether or not Plaintiffs' request is covered by the Court's prior Order, see ECF No. 170, the Court agrees that there is no need or basis to designate Ms. Mount as an additional document custodian given, among other things, her role as a buyer of VRDOs and the fact that Plaintiffs already have access to her communications with sell-side personnel. If anything, the discovery to date appears to confirm the Court's prior conclusion that evidence from those in Ms. Mount's position has only marginal relevance to the claims at issue. Plaintiffs certainly do not "point to any specific information that is relevant to their claims and would be found solely in the unproduced documents." Alaska Elec. Pension Fund v.

March 3, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 160 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER...regarding procedures to be followed that shall govern the handling of confidential material...This stipulation binds the parties to treat as confidential the documents so classified. This Court, however, has not reviewed the documents referenced herein; therefore, by so ordering this stipulation, the Court makes no finding as to whether the documents are confidential. That finding will be made, if ever, upon a document-by-document review pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Court's Individual Rules and Practices and subject to the presumption in favor of public access to "judicial documents." See generally Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 119-20 (2d Cir. 2006).

Any party that believes the Court is mistaken, or that the above-mentioned parties should in fact be listed as Defendants in this case, shall file a letter to that effect no later than December 11, 2020.

November 2, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 136 OPINION AND ORDER re: (123 in 1:19-cv-01608-JMF) JOINT MOTION to Dismiss filed by Barclays Capital Inc., Bank of America Corporation, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, Royal Bank of Canada, Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, RBC Capital Markets LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays Bank PLC, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Wachovia Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc., Citibank N.A., Bank of America, N.A., Citigroup, Inc., Wells Fargo & Co. In sum, Defendants' motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' claims is GRANTED in part andDENIED in part. In particular, the Court holds as follows: Defendants' motion is denied with respect to Plaintiffs' federal antitrust claims; Defendants' motion is denied with respect to Plaintiffs' breach-of-contract claims against the Counterparty Defendants, and granted with respect to the breach-of-contract claims against the Non-Counterparty Defendants, Morgan Stanley, and the Morgan Stanley Associates; Defendants' motion is denied with respect to Baltimore's breach of fiduciary duty claims against Defendant Citigroup Global Markets Inc. but granted with respect to all other breach of fiduciary duty claims; and Defendants' motion is granted with respect to the unjust enrichment claims against all Defendants. Further, the Court declines to grant Plaintiffs leave to amend their dismissed claims, which they request - but only in passing and in a footnote. Pls.' Opp'n 50 n.27. Although leave to amend a complaint should be freely given "when justice so requires," Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2), it is "within the sound discretion of the district court to grant or deny leave to amend," Ahmed v. GEO USA LLC, No. 15-CV-7486 (JMF), 2015 WL 1408895, at *5 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 27, 2015) (quoting McCarthy v. Dun & Bradstreet Corp., 482 F.3d 184, 200 (2d Cir. 2007)). The problems with the dismissed claims are largely, if not entirely, substantive, so amendment would be futile. See, e.g., Maragh v. Roosevelt Island Operating Corp., No. 16-CV-7530 (JMF), 2018 WL 6573452, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 13, 2018); Croft v. AXA Equitable Life Ins. Co., No. 17-CV-9355 (JMF), 2018 WL 4007646, at *5 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 22, 2018). Furthermore, Plaintiffs were on notice of Defendants' arguments when they elected not to file an amended complaint in response to Defendants' motion to dismiss, and Plaintiffs were expressly warned that they would "not be given any further opportunity" to amend the Complaint. ECF No. 126. In light of these circumstances, the Court will not grant leave to amend. See, e.g., Overby v. Fabian, No. 17-CV-3377 (CS), 2018 WL 3364392, at *14 (S.D.N.Y. July 10, 2018) ("Plaintiff's failure to fix deficiencies in his previous pleading, after being provided ample notice of them, is alone sufficient ground to deny leave to amend sua sponte."); see also Nat'l Credit Union Admin. Bd. v. U.S. Bank Nat'l Ass'n, 898 F.3d 243, 257-58 (2d Cir. 2018) ("When a plaintiff was aware of the deficiencies in his complaint when he first amended, he clearly has no right to a second amendment even if the proposed second amended complaint in fact cures the defects of the first." (alteration and internal quotation marks omitted)). Unless and until the Court orders othe1wise, Defendants shall file an answer with respect to Plaintiffs' remaining claims within three weeks of this Order. By separate Order, the Court will schedule an initial pretrial conference for some time thereafter. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate ECF No. 123. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M.
