MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co. v. Baltic Auto Shipping, Inc. et al.
21-cv-7660 (JHR)
Our Ref: 739-01

11/14/2023

Dear Honorable Judge Parker:
We represent defendant Baltic Auto Shipping Inc. and, in conjunction with co-defendants
Trips Logistics Corp., Marine Transport Logistics, Inc., Baltic Auto Shipping Corp. and
International Auto Group (hereinafter “Transport Defendants”), write in response to the status
report submitted by Plaintiff on Friday, November 10, 2023 [Dkt # 170]. Given the lack of
progress in the Libyan Proceeding, we request that the Settlement Conference, now scheduled
for December 6, 2023 [Dkt # 165] be adjourned sine die. As the parties stated in their September
12, 2023 letter [Dkt # 164], at this stage of the proceeding, without MSC having a rightful claim
of indemnity and without certain discovery being conducted, the Transport Defendants are not
prepared to offer any money toward settlement and thus believe a Settlement Conference would
be fruitless.
Respectfully submitted,
CASEY & BARNETT, LLC
Attorneys for Defendant Baltic
Auto Shipping, Inc.
Martin F. Casey
