August 20, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 128 ORDER Re: Order at Docket No. 124 Denying #116 Motion for Reconsideration. The Court stresses the following: This lawsuit is not against the Commonwealth nor its instrumentality. It is a civil rights action against Defendants in their personal (and not official) capacities. As such, PROMESA does not stay the litigation. The fact that the Commonwealth Attorney General has provided legal representation pursuant to Law 9, moreover, does not convert the action into one against the Commonwealth. Law 9 benefits may be terminated at any time, even after a verdict of liability. See Guadalupe Baez v. Pesquera, 269 F. Supp. 3d 1 (DPR 2017). Personal capacity defendants sued alone cannot invoke PROMESA as a shield to litigation prompted by civil Rights violations. Signed by Judge Gustavo A. Gelpi on 8/20/2020. (CRH)
