Filing 1291

STIPULATED JUDGMENT AND ORDER DIRECTING TURNOVER OF TAJIDEEN BLOCKED FUNDS: NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED as follows: 1. The Court finds that the Tajideen Policy has been surrendered, and that the Blocked Funds are the property of Tajideen. 2. Based on the Expert Affidavit of Dr. Clawson, the Court further finds that Tajideen is an agent or instrumentality of Iran. 3. Having previously found that (i) the Levins obtained a judgment against Iran on a claim based upon an act of terrorism, (ii) the Blocked Funds are "blocked assets" within the meaning of TRIA 201(a), and (iii) no adverse claimant ranks above the Levins in priority of interest, and (iv) finding that the Blocked Funds are the property of Tajideen and that Tajideen is an agency or instrumentality of Iran, the Court now finds that the Blocked Funds are subject to execution under TRIA 201(a). 4. The Court orders that Judgment shall be entered for the Levins as follows: a) JPMCB shall, within fourteen (14) days after this Stipulated Judgment and Order has been so-ordered by the Court, turn over the Blocked Funds held by JPMCB, including all interest that has accrued since the establishment of the Blocked Account and the Premium Blocked Account, to the Levins' counsel, Howarth & Smith. The turnover shall be by wire transfer to the Howarth & Smith Trust Account for the Levins. Howarth & Smith shall, within three (3)days of entry of this Stipulated Judgment and Order, provide counsel for JPMCB, in writing, the account information necessary for the wire transfer. This Stipulated Judgment and Order is a final judgment, within the meaning of Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b), and there is no just reason for delay in the entry of it as a final judgment. This Stipulated Judgment and Order constitutes a final dismissal with prejudice of all claims asserted by the Levins as to the Blocked Funds and the Tajideen Policy. This Court shall retain jurisdiction over this matter to enforce any violation of this Stipulated Judgment and Order's terms. This stipulated judgment is so ordered. The bench trial currently scheduled for November 25, 2019, is hereby adjourned sine die. The pending motion in limine at Docket Number 1288 is denied as moot. The Clerk of Court is directed to close the motion at Docket Number 1288. (And as further set forth herein.) So ordered. (Signed by Judge J. Paul Oetken on 11/19/2019) (jca)

STIPULATED JUDGMENT AND
ORDER DIRECTING TURNOVER OF
TAJIDEEN BLOCKED FUNDS

AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY – LEBANON BRANCH,
Crossclaim-Defendant.
This Stipulated Judgment and Order is entered into by and among plaintiffs/third-party
defendants/counter-claim defendants and cross-claim plaintiffs Jeremy Levin and Dr. Lucille
Levin (the “Levins”), defendant and third-party plaintiff JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
(“JPMCB”), and third-party/cross-claim defendant American Life Insurance Company –
Lebanon Branch (“Alico Lebanon,” and, together with the Levins and JPMCB, the “Parties”).
WHEREAS, on or about July 28, 2001, Tajideen purchased a life insurance policy from
Alico Lebanon (the “Tajideen Policy”);
WHEREAS, on May 27, 2009, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”)
designated Tajideen as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (“SDGT”);
WHEREAS, as a result of Tajideen’s designation as an SDGT and in order to comply
with OFAC regulations, Alico Lebanon placed the cash surrender value of the Tajideen Policy
and a 2010 premium payment received from Tajideen in two blocked accounts maintained by
JPMCB in New York (the “Blocked Funds”);
WHEREAS, as of November 13, 2019, the balances of the two accounts comprising the
Blocked Funds are $63,538.82 and $364,191.35, respectively, for a combined balance of
$427,730.17;
WHEREAS, in an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia
entitled Levin et al v. Islamic Republic of Iran et al., No. 05-2494, the Levins obtained a
judgment dated February 6, 2008, in the total amount of $28,807,719, against the Islamic
2

Republic of Iran (“Iran”) and other Iranian governmental agencies (the “Judgment”). The
Judgment was later registered in this Court as Docket Number M18-302, renewed on January 3,
2019 in Levin v. Islamic Republic of Iran et al., No. 18-cv-11576, and has been satisfied only in
part;
WHEREAS, as part of their effort to enforce the Judgment, the Levins commenced this
proceeding in 2009 to obtain the turnover under § 201(a) of the Terrorism Relief Insurance Act
of 2002 (“TRIA”) and § 1610 of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (“FSIA”) of the funds
in eligible blocked interest-bearing accounts established and held by JPMCB and other
financial institutions;
WHEREAS, the Levins have at times amended or supplemented their original complaint
to assert claims against new blocked accounts established and held by JPMCB, eventually
including the two blocked accounts holding the Blocked Funds;
WHEREAS, on November 15, 2017, as authorized by this Court’s Opinion and Order
filed October 27, 2017 (Doc. No. 1106), the Levins filed a “Supplemental Complaint Pursuant
to N.Y.C.P.L.R. § 5225 and Court Order Dated October 27, 2017” (the “Supplemental
Complaint,” Doc. No. 1110) seeking the turnover of the larger of the two accounts comprising
the Blocked Funds, which was established in 2012 and whose account number ends in 6923
(the “Blocked Account”);
WHEREAS, the Supplemental Complaint alleges that Tajideen is an agency or
instrumentality of Iran, and that the Blocked Funds are therefore subject to execution under
TRIA § 201 and FSIA § 1610(g);
WHEREAS, to determine the rights of all parties with an interest in or claim to the funds
in the Blocked Account, and thereby to insure against the risk of multiple or inconsistent
3

obligations with respect to those funds, JPMCB filed a third-party complaint in interpleader
(the “Interpleader Complaint,” Dkt. 1136) on January 12, 2018 in response to the Supplemental
Complaint (the “Interpleader Action”). The Interpleader Complaint named as third-party
defendants all parties then known to JPMCB, including Tajideen and other judgment creditors
of Iran, to have an actual or potential interest in the Blocked Account, excluding those who had
disclaimed any such interest before the filing of the Interpleader Complaint;
WHEREAS, due to the expense and inconvenience of litigation and other factors,
Tajideen did not participate in the Interpleader Action and instead entered into a Stipulation and
Order with JPMCB, dated March 12, 2018 and so-ordered by the Court on March 13, 2018 (the
“March Stipulation,” Dkt. 1174), under which he disclaimed an interest of any kind in the
Blocked Account and relinquished and surrendered, with prejudice, any claim to that account
that he otherwise had. In doing so, Tajideen made no admission as to any allegation against or
about him in the Interpleader Action;
WHEREAS, since the time of the Court’s entry of the March 13, 2018 Stipulation and
Order regarding the Blocked Account, only two parties – the Levins and Alico Lebanon – have
asserted an interest in that account, with the Levins, as alleged in the Supplemental Complaint,
seeking the turnover of the funds in the Blocked Account pursuant to TRIA § 201 and FSIA §
1610(g). The proceeding commenced with the filing of the Supplemental Complaint (the
“Turnover Proceeding”) and is still ongoing as of the time of this Stipulated Judgment and
Order;
WHEREAS, in the Turnover Proceeding, the Levins learned through discovery about a
second, and smaller, blocked account held at JPMCB (the “Premium Blocked Account”) that
was established in or around October 2012, whose account number ends in 3534, and whose
4

funds, combined with those in the Blocked Account, comprise the Blocked Funds. As of
February 28, 2019, the balance in the Premium Blocked Account, with accrued interest, was
$62,997. The Premium Blocked Account is subject to a writ of execution served on JPMCB by
the U.S. Marshal, on the Levins’ behalf, on or about May 16, 2019;
WHEREAS, the Premium Blocked Account, as authorized by the Court at a conference
in the Turnover Proceeding held on July 19, 2019, has been included in and is now a subject of
the Turnover Proceeding. The Levins, by virtue of their writ, have priority to the Premium
Blocked Account vis-à-vis other judgment creditors of Iran and all other persons or entities;
WHEREAS, Tajideen entered into a so-ordered stipulation dated August 9, 2019 (the
“August Stipulation”) with JPMCB through which he disclaimed an interest of any kind in the
Premium Blocked Account and relinquished, with prejudice, any claim to that account that he
otherwise had (Dkt. 1257);
WHEREAS, the Court previously found that the Levins have obtained a valid judgment
against a terrorist party (Iran) based upon an act of terrorism, and that the funds in the Blocked
Account qualify as “blocked assets” within the meaning of TRIA (Dkt. 1231);
WHEREAS, the Court previously found that, if the funds in the Blocked Account are
determined to be the property of an agency or instrumentality of Iran, the Levins have priority
to those funds over any other judgment creditors of Iran or any other persons or entities (Dkt.
1231);
WHEREAS, based on the Court’s previous order (Dkt. 1231) and to avoid the expense
and burden of continued litigation, neither Alico Lebanon nor JPMC will object to a court’s
finding that if the funds in the Premium Blocked Account are determined to be the property of

5

an agency or instrumentality of Iran, the Levins have priority to those funds over any other
judgment creditors of Iran or any other persons or entities;
WHEREAS, Tajideen and the Levins entered into a Stipulation, Settlement and Order
signed on October 5 and 7, 2019 and so-ordered by the Court on October 25, 2019 (the
“October Stipulation,” Dkt. 1281), under which Tajideen (i) reaffirmed his prior relinquishment
with prejudice of any claims he otherwise had or may have had to the Blocked Account and the
Premium Blocked Account, (ii) relinquished, surrendered, terminated, and extinguished with
prejudice any and all claims, rights, and interests he had or may have in the Tajideen Policy,
and (iii) and agreed, and otherwise reaffirmed his prior agreement, never to assert a claim
against JPMCB or Alico Lebanon as to the Blocked Account, the Premium Blocked Account or
the Tajideen Policy in any court or tribunal anywhere in the world;
WHEREAS, in accordance with the October Stipulation, the Tajideen Policy has been
surrendered and terminated and is of no further value;
WHEREAS, Tajideen’s surrender of the Tajideen Policy further confirms the Blocked
Funds are the property of Tajideen;
WHEREAS, to avoid the expense and burden of continued litigation, Alico Lebanon and
JPMCB have agreed not to object to a judicial finding that the Tajideen Policy has been
surrendered, and that the Blocked Funds are therefore the property of Tajideen;
WHEREAS, the Levins have filed in the Turnover Proceeding an Expert Affidavit of Dr.
Patrick Clawson, an expert on Iran, in which Dr. Clawson concludes that Tajideen is an agency
or instrumentality of Iran (Dkt. 1279);
WHEREAS, Alico Lebanon and JPMCB do not challenge Dr. Clawson’s conclusion that
Tajideen is an agency or instrumentality of Iran;
6

WHEREAS, a trial date in the Turnover Proceeding has been set for November 25, 2019;
and
WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred and agreed on a final resolution of this
matter and request that the Court enter this Stipulated Judgment and Order Directing the
Turnover of the Blocked Funds;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED as follows:
1.

The Court finds that the Tajideen Policy has been surrendered, and that the

Blocked Funds are the property of Tajideen.
2.

Based on the Expert Affidavit of Dr. Clawson, the Court further finds that

Tajideen is an agent or instrumentality of Iran.
3.

Having previously found that (i) the Levins obtained a judgment against Iran on a

claim based upon an act of terrorism, (ii) the Blocked Funds are “blocked assets” within the
meaning of TRIA § 201(a), and (iii) no adverse claimant ranks above the Levins in priority of
interest, and (iv) finding that the Blocked Funds are the property of Tajideen and that Tajideen is
an agency or instrumentality of Iran, the Court now finds that the Blocked Funds are subject to
execution under TRIA § 201(a).
4.

The Court orders that Judgment shall be entered for the Levins as follows:
a)

JPMCB shall, within fourteen (14) days after this Stipulated Judgment and
Order has been so-ordered by the Court, turn over the Blocked Funds held by
JPMCB, including all interest that has accrued since the establishment of the
Blocked Account and the Premium Blocked Account, to the Levins’ counsel,
Howarth & Smith. The turnover shall be by wire transfer to the Howarth &
Smith Trust Account for the Levins. Howarth & Smith shall, within three (3)
7

days of entry of this Stipulated Judgment and Order, provide counsel for
JPMCB, in writing, the account information necessary for the wire transfer.
b)

Upon JPMCB’s turnover of the Blocked Funds pursuant to Paragraph 4(a):
(i)

JPMCB and Alico Lebanon shall be fully discharged and released from
all liability and obligations of any nature to (i) each other, (ii) the
Levins, (iii) Tajideen, (iv) all judgment creditors of Iran or the FARC
identified in the annexed Schedule A, and (v) any other person or entity
(including any judgment creditors of Iran or the FARC not identified in
Schedule A), with specific respect to the Blocked Funds, the turnover
thereof, and the Tajideen Policy.

(ii)

Tajideen, the Levins, JPMCB, and Alico Lebanon hereby mutually
release each other from all possible claims arising out of or in
connection the Blocked Funds and the Tajideen Policy, including any
claim for attorneys’ fees or related litigation costs.

(iii)

The Levins, Tajideen, the judgment creditor groups identified in
Schedule A, and all other persons and entities shall be permanently
restrained and enjoined from instituting or pursuing any legal action or
proceeding in any jurisdiction against JPMCB or Alico Lebanon with
specific respect to the Blocked Funds, the turnover thereof, or the
Tajideen Policy.

(iv)

All writs of execution, notices of pending action, restraining notices, and
other judgment creditor process of any kind served on, or delivered to,
JPMCB, to the extent that they apply or attach to the Blocked Funds, are
8

hereby deemed vacated and null and void as to the Blocked Funds;
provided, however, that this provision of this Stipulated Judgment and
Order shall not vacate or nullify any such writ of execution, notice of
pending action, restraining notice, or other judgment creditor process
with respect to any other funds, property, debts, assets, or accounts other
than the Blocked Funds.
5.

This Stipulated Judgment and Order is a final judgment, within the meaning of

Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b), and there is no just reason for delay in the entry of it as a final judgment.
This Stipulated Judgment and Order constitutes a final dismissal with prejudice of all claims
asserted by the Levins as to the Blocked Funds and the Tajideen Policy.
6.

The Parties agree that, between the time it is signed by them and the time it is so-

ordered by the Court, this Stipulated Judgment and Order shall be fully binding on them and of
no less force and effect than when it is so-ordered, except that JPMCB’s obligation under
Paragraph 4(a) above shall not go into effect until after the Stipulated Judgment and Order has
been so-ordered.
7.

Subject to the entry of this Stipulated Judgment and Order and based upon their

agreement to the terms of this Stipulated Judgment and Order, the Parties waive any right to
appeal from any part of this Stipulated Judgment and Order.
8.

This Court shall retain jurisdiction over this matter to enforce any violation of this

Stipulated Judgment and Order’s terms.
