No. 09 Civ. 8811 (JSR)
ECF CASE
RAJ RAJARATNAM’S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF’S
STATEMENT OF UNDISPUTED MATERIAL FACTS AND
COUNTERSTATEMENT OF UNDISPUTED MATERIAL FACTS
Pursuant to Rule 56.1 of the Local Rules of the Southern District of New York,
Defendant Raj Rajaratnam submits this Response to Plaintiff’s Statement of Undisputed Material
Facts and Counterstatement of Undisputed Material Facts.
The SEC moved for summary judgment on insider trading liability as to only five stocks,
Akamai, ATI, Clearwire, Intel, and PeopleSupport (the “Collateral Estoppel Stocks”). The
SEC’s argument in support of liability on the Collateral Estoppel Stocks is based exclusively on
the theory that Mr. Rajaratnam is collaterally estopped from defending against the SEC’s
allegations concerning them as a result of his conviction for similar conduct in the parallel
criminal case, United States v. Rajaratnam, 09 Cr. 1184. Mr. Rajaratnam does not dispute that
collateral estoppel applies to the SEC’s insider trading allegations concerning the Collateral
Estoppel Stocks. As a result, many of the paragraphs in the SEC’s Statement of Undisputed
Material Facts are actually immaterial to the SEC’s claims against Mr. Rajaratnam and are not
appropriately included in a Rule 56.1 Statement.
Mr. Rajaratnam’s Counterstatement of Material Undisputed Facts follows his below
response to the SEC’s Statement of Undisputed Material Facts.
