Dear Judge Marrero:
We are one of plaintiffs' co-lead counsel in the above AnwaI action.
We respectfully request permission to file a motion for entry of an order approving distribution of the
Fairfield Greenwich Net Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants. The Net Settlement Fund derives from a
$50.25 million class action settlement that was approved by Your Honor in a March 25, 2013 Final Judgment
and Order of Dismissal (Dkt. No. 1097). The last of the appeals from the final Judgment was resolved by the
Second Circuit on August 8, 2014 (Dkt. No.1315). Pursuant to Paragraphs 1( q) and 44 of the Stipulation of
Settlement approved by the Court (Dt...-t. No. 996), the Effective Date of the Final Judgment occurred on
November 7, 2014.
The claims administrator, Rust Consulting, Inc., has completed administration of the settlement nnd
with Your Honor's approval, is prepared to distribute the Net Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants.

Respectfully submitted,

-;t;p'.vt;t- (7. ~
