Re: Anwrtr v. Fairfield Greenwich Ltd., 09-CV-118 (VM)
Dear Judge tvlarrero:
On behalf o 1· 1\e\v Greenwich Litigation Trustee, LLC. as Successor Trustee ("Trustee")
of the Greenwich Scntcy and Greenwich Sentry Partners Litigation Trusts, we briefly respond to
the letters submitted l•)day by the Plaintiffs and the Citco Defendants, regarding the Trustee's
request for a pre-n10ti1m conference concerning the Trustee's proposed motion to intervene for
the limited purpose of )bjecting to the Citco settlement.
The settling parties and the Trustee agree that the proposed settlement does not release
the Trustee's claims. 'Jee. e.g., Plaintiffs' Letter at 1: Citco Letter at 2 (proposed judgment "in
no way ·formally strip·;' the Trustee of any claim or defense'") (quoting Bhariu v. Piedrahita, 756
F.3d 211. 218 (2d Cir. 2014)). To the extent however, th._t the proposed judgment could be read
to somehow '"offset'' 1he Trustee's damages (thus enhanr:·ing Citco's defenses in the Trustee's
actions), the prejudice to the Trustee as well its standi11g to object cannot be disputed, even
though its claims otherwise remain intact.
Finally, the Trnstee's submission of objections will not delay the proceedings, as the
Trustee is ti.1lly preparvd to meet the October 16, 2015 deadline for objections.
