Son, SNC Asset Management, Inc., and SNC Investments, Inc., and relief defendant Ann Lee submit this Further Joint Case Management Statement for both the SEC's case and the CFTC's case. As the parties previously informed the Court, defendant Peter C. Son pleaded guilty in a related criminal action captioned United States v. Peter C. Son, No. CR 09-00755 DLJ (N.D. Cal. filed July 27, 2009). The criminal charges against Son are based on the same factual allegations as those made by the plaintiffs in these two civil actions pending before this Court. Son pleaded guilty to the criminal charges on April 9, 2010. Minute Order, United States v. Son, Docket No. 20. On July 30, 2010, Son was sentenced to 180 months in custody. See Criminal Pretrial Minute Order, United States v. Son, Docket No. 27. Son was also ordered to pay criminal restitution, but the Court deferred a decision on the restitution amount. See id.; Criminal Pretrial Minute Order, United States v. Son, Docket No. 30 (continuing hearing until Oct. 15, 2010). A further hearing on restitution is scheduled for November 19, 2010. Criminal Pretrial Minute Order, United States v. Son, Docket No. 31. The plaintiffs and Son, who is an officer of the corporate defendants in these two civil actions, have discussed a potential resolution of the civil claims. The parties will consider Son's criminal sentence, including incarceration time and restitution ordered, in arriving at an appropriate resolution. The parties believe that an order in the criminal action setting the restitution amount and otherwise completing Son's sentence will facilitate a resolution of these two civil actions. The parties agree to recommend that the Court stay discovery in these matters until after Son's criminal sentence is finalized and the amount of restitution is determined. A discovery stay would permit the parties to discuss resolution of the civil claims. Similarly, the parties agree to recommend that the trial date, currently scheduled for March 21, 2011, be vacated along with the pretrial deadlines. The parties agree to inform the Court promptly of CASE MANAGEMENT REPORT AND STIP. 1 CASE NOS.
