ORDER

This document relates to:
Katherine Dillaber, et al., v. Islamic Republic of Iran, et al., 1:18-CV-03162 (GBD)(SN)
The Court has reviewed the Dillaber Plaintiffs’ letter regarding the filing of claims for
damages. See 1:18-CV-03162, ECF No. 72. The Dillaber Plaintiffs are instructed to submit
motions for partial final default judgment for their claim for pain and suffering incurred by a
personal injury plaintiff who sustained injuries on the day of September 11, 2001, pursuant to the
framework set out by the Court in Burnett I, 03-MDL-01570, ECF No. 5879, and their claims for
solatium damages for the losses suffered by relatives of the decedent Patricia Dillaber Mickley,
pursuant to the framework set out by the Court in Hoglan II, 03-MDL-01570, ECF No. 3363.
The Court has not yet ruled on claims for solatium damages for losses suffered by
relatives of injured plaintiffs, and as the Dillaber Plaintiffs note in their letter, the Court has also
not yet ruled on personal injury or solatium claims for post exposure-related injuries sustained in
the days after September 11, 2001. The Court instructs the Dillaber Plaintiffs to meet-and-confer
with the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committees (PECs) regarding the filing of these damages requests,
and to jointly propose to the Court, together with the PECs and any other parties intending to file
similar claims, a uniform process for the submission and review of these motions.
SO ORDERED.
