MEMO TO COUNSEL RE: United States of America v. Gerald I. Katz
Civil No. JFM-11-2107
Dear Counsel:
I have reviewed the memoranda submitted in connection with defendants’ motion for
reconsideration.
I continue to believe that the process I outlined on October 9, 2014 will bring this matter
to a conclusion more quickly than continued litigation. However, in light of the fact that I
continue to be of the view that defendants have breached the settlement agreement, and in light
of the position that the United States has taken in its “Notice of Objection” filed on October 15,
2014, defendants’ motion for reconsideration (document 59) is denied. This matter should be
brought to an end now.
Despite the informal nature of this letter, it should be flagged as an opinion and docketed
as an order.
Very truly yours,
/s/
J. Frederick Motz
United States District Judge
