BERMAN’S MOTION TO 

SUBSTITUTE COUNSEL AT THE 

JANUARY 21, 2016 PROCEEDINGS

Steve W. Berman, counsel for David Fiol and the Benpayo, Hill, Steffenson, and Clarke 

Plaintiffs, has filed a motion to allow his partner, Robert B. Carey, to appear on his behalf at the 

January 21, 2016 proceedings to address Mr. Berman’s application for a leadership position. (Dkt. 

No. 1040; see Dkt. No. 786.) Mr. Berman is unable to appear at the proceeding as he is co-lead

1040.) Trial for that case began in the Southern District of New York on January 11, 2016 and is 

scheduled to last four weeks. (Id.) The Court GRANTS Mr. Berman’s motion. 

This Order disposes of Docket Number 1040. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
