certain favorable consolidated Judgment entered on April 22, 2016 by the Court of First Instance 

of Aguadilla (“CFI”) (collectively the “Group of Creditors of the Consolidated CFI Judgment 

dated April 22, 2016”)3. 

In support of the Statement, the Group of Creditors of the Consolidated CFI Judgment 

dated April 22, 2016 hereby respectfully state as follows:

BACKGROUND

1. As of May 3, 2017 (the “Petition Date”) and up to and including the date of this 

Statement, in these Title III Cases, the undersigned counsel represented [and continues to 

represent] the Group of Creditors of the Consolidated CFI Judgment dated April 22, 2016 (each 

Plaintiff in the Group of Creditors of the Consolidated CFI Judgment dated April 22, 2016 

constitutes a “Member” thereof).

2. In 2003 and 2005, respectively, two (2) group complaints against the 

Commonwealth were commenced in the CFI in Civil Case Num. A MI2003-0143 and Civil Case 

Num. A PE2005-0049.

3. As briefly discussed herein above, on April 22, 2016 the CFI entered a single final 

consolidated Judgment in favor of both groups, effectively consolidating both cases and all holders 

of the two (2) group causes of action into the instant single Group. Thus, for purposes of FRBP 

2019(c), the single Group of Creditors was formed on April 22, 2016.

 3 The present Statement is filed in accordance to the Case Management and Administrative Procedures Order in 

connection with the cases (“Title III Cases”) commenced by the above-captioned debtors under title III of the Puerto 

Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”).

4. Thereafter, the Commonwealth filed an appeal of the April 22, 2016 Judgment to 

the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals (the “Court of Appeals”), case Num. KLAN 2016-01283. On 

June 1, 2017, the Commonwealth filed a notice for stay of the proceeding in the Court of Appeals

pursuant to the filing of the Title III cases, which was granted by such forum on September 12, 

2017.

5. The Debtors issued a single notice of the Order for Relief and further notified a 

group claim in Schedule H for Litigation Related Obligations to the undersigned counsel in 

connection with all Members of the Group of Creditors of the Consolidated CFI Judgment dated 

April 22, 2016 [PROMESA Case Num. 17 BK 3283-LTS; Docket Entry 1215-14, P. 129]. 

6. As of the Petition Date, the Members of the Group of Creditors of the Consolidated 

CFI Judgment dated April 22, 2016 hold approximately $4,909,607.10 in aggregate amount of 

unsecured claims. 

7. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 2019, the address and the amount of all 

disclosable economic interests for each Member is set forth in Exhibit A attached herein. The 

nature of the disclosable economic interests for each Member, pursuant to the Consolidated 

Judgment entered on April 22, 2016, is the same: Overtime Wages and Salaries Owed4. 

8. As of the date of this Statement, the undersigned represents the Group of Creditors 

of the Consolidated CFI Judgment dated April 22, 20165.

9. In addition, no individual Member of the Group of Creditors of the Consolidated 

CFI Judgment dated April 22, 2016 (a) assumes any fiduciary or other duties to any other creditor 

 4 In the abundance of caution, the Group of Creditors of the Consolidated CFI Judgment dated April 22, 2016 informs 

that each Member’s disclosable economic interest was acquired more than one (1) year prior to the Petition Date. As 

such, the Group contends that they are waived from the disclosure requirements of FRBP 2019(c)(2)(C). 5 The undersigned also represents other Groups of creditors (which are unrelated to the Group of Creditors of the 

Consolidated CFI Judgment dated April 22, 2016) against certain other instrumentalities of the Commonwealth, each 

of which will be filing their respective separate Verified Statements in compliance with FRBP 2019.
