MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC)

ORDER GRANTING IN PART 

WARREN T. BURNS’ MOTION TO 

SUBSTITUTE COUNSEL AT THE 

JANUARY 21, 2016 HEARING

Warren T. Burns, counsel for plaintiffs Peter Brewitt, Amy M. Thomas, Ronald Sekul, and 

Tom Assaf Abdalla, has filed a Motion to appear at the January 21, 2016 proceeding via 

telephone. (Dkt. No. 941.) Mr. Burns is unable to personally appear at the hearing due to a 

previously scheduled final settlement approval hearing in In re Crude Oil Commodity Futures 

Litigation, No. 11-cv-3600 (S.D.N.Y.), a case in which he is co-lead counsel. Id. He seeks to 

address the Court regarding his application for appointment to the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee 

either by telephone or by his representative, his partner Daniel H. Charest. (Id.; see Dkt. No. 778.) 

As parties listening to the hearing by telephone may not participate in the proceedings, the Court 

GRANTS Mr. Burns’ Motion to allow Mr. Daniel H. Charest to speak on Mr. Burns’ behalf. 

This Order disposes of Docket No. 941. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 20, 2016
