Re:

Anwar v. Fairfield Greenwich Ltd.,
No. 09-CV -118 (S.D.N. Y.) - Standard Chartered Cases

Dear Judge Maas:
I write on behalf the Standard Chartered Defendants and with the consent
ofp]aintiffs in the cases subject to the Stipulation and Scheduling Order Regarding
Standard Chartered Defendants' Time to Respond to Complaints in Specified Standard
Chartered Cases (the "Scheduling Order"), which the Court entered on August 13, 20)2.
(Dkt. No_ 914.) The Scheduling Order extended the Standard Chartered Defendants'
time to respond in 35 actions (the "StipUlating Actions") until AUgust 24, 2012, so that
the parties in those actions could confer and reach an agreement regarding the application
of the Court's prior substantive rulings in order to avoid any unnecessary motion practice.
Standard Chartered and counsel to plaintiffs in the Stipulating Actions have reached
agreement on the terms of such an agreement, but given the large number of plaintiffs
e.P
and their various vacation schedules, plaintiffs' counsel has requested a brief additional~:1) • \
period oftime to secure client consent. The parties thus respectfully request that the'> '\ .."Y'/
August 24,2012 deadline in paragraph 1 of the Scheduling Order be extended to /
i
<..,V\~
August 31,2012.
