09/21/2010 63 ENDORSED LETTER as to Rubin/Chambers, Dunhill Insurance Services, Inc. addressed to Judge Marrero from Michael G. McGovern dated 9/20/2010 re: Request that the Court modify his bail conditions to the limited extent of lifting the condition that he post the family home as security for his PRB, we are writing to answer the specific question that the Court posted to us during the September 14, 2010 telephone conference. During the conference, the Court inquired whether, should the Court agree to lift the subject bail condition only for a limited period of time (such as 90 days)...ENDORSEMENT...Required Denied. The Court is not persuaded that a modification of defendant Stewart Wolmark's bail conditions to remove the condition of the posting, of his home as security is warranted. The defendant may reapply for a temporary lifting of the condition for the most limited time, by necessary at a point at which the processing of the refinancing demands such relief. SO ORDERED.

McGovern, Esq., DATED 12/15/2010, RE: response to Ms. Meiklejohn's letter to the Court concerning the filing of superseding indictment, where Ms. Meiklejohn assures the Court that the changes between the original indictment and the Superseding Indictment are so "Minor" and "Minimal" that they "should have no effect on the trial management plan adopted by the Court.... "minor" or "minimal" changes to the scope of this case reflects a lack of candor with the Court and is a disregard for the Defendants right to a fair trial.... -- JUDGE ENDORSED: The Government is directed to respond by 12/21/2010, by letter, not to exceed 7 pages, to the matters set forth above by dfts, including the motion by dft David Rubin for a transfer venue for this case to the district of...

Products, Inc. ("CDR") in response to the December 14, 2010 letter from Ms. Meiklejohn to the Court (the " Meiklejohn Letter"). Ms. Meiklejohn requests' a number of broad, non-specific. post-indictment "trial subpoenas" pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17-including trial subpoenas inappropriately directed at a party. Because the Meiklejohn Letter makes it clear that the government intends to use the trial subpoenas to impermissibly discover unknown information in preparation for trial, contrary to well-established case law, the Court should deny the government's request. ENDORSEMENT: The Government is directed to reply by 12/29/2010 by letter not to exceed 3 pages, to the matter set above in defendant's response. SO ORDERED.

The Government is in receipt of Ms. Meiklejohn's letter of earlier this afternoon. While we will not attempt a complete response here, we must say that we were struck by the fact that, in the the one and-a-half pages she devotes to responding to our five-page letter to the Court of December 15, 2010, she rests her opposition to Defendants' requests for relief almost entirely on the argument that the changes to this case represented by the Superseding Indictment do not add significantly to the prosecution burden in trying this case... ENDORSEMENT: The matter of whether the Superseding Indictment may require any adjustments in the case management plan and trial may be addressed at the conference on 1/7/2011. SO ORDERED.

Zelenko dated 1/25/2011. re: Defendants respectfully submit this response to the government's letter to the Court dated January 21, 2011, and in further support of Defendants' request that the Court adjourn the current trial schedule for a limited period of time sufficient to allow Defendants to prepare a defense to the government's ever-expanding theories of liability and case-in-chief evidence. Accordingly, Defendants respectfully request that the Court adjourn the current trial date to a date no earlier than April 30, 2012, and make corresponding adjustments to the other dates set forth in the case management schedule. To the extent that the Court is considering a dateearlier than April 30, 2012, Defendants additionally request a conference with the Court to address these issues.

In their letter, defendants claim that the government flouted both the instruction given by this Court at the January 7, 20 11 pretrial hearing and the spirit and substance of its order regarding the government's preliminary designation of trial exhibits. The government has done neither... In summary, the government believes that defendants' arguments for delaying this trial for more than seven months are baseless. It therefore requests that the Court schedule trial for either September 12, 2011 or as soon thereafter as possible, but not later than December 5, 2011. ENDORSEMENT: The Clerk of Court is directed to enter into the public record of this action the letter above submitted to the Court by the Government. SO ORDERED.

Zelenko dated 2/1/2011. re: Defendants write briefly to note a fact that the government has attempted to bury in footnote 2 of its reply letter of January 28, 2011... On a final note, as Defendants stated in their previous letter to the Court, this matter should not proceed to trial prior to April 30, 2012, and - under no circumstances - should this matter proceed to trial on December 5, 2011, given the many complications presented by commencing a trial in the holiday season (including problems with jury selection, interruption of the trial for the holidays, and forcing the Los Angeles-based defendants to be separated from their families during the holidays). ENDORSEMENT: The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter into the public record of this action the letter above submitted to the Court by defendants. SO ORDERED.

The fact that government witnesses are expected to testify about a handful of transactions where defendants attempted but failed to rig a bid has no bearing on the Court's decision when trial of this matter will commence. The government therefore respectfully reiterates its request that trial in this matter start in September, but no later than December. ENDORSED: The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter into the public record of this action the letter above submitted to the Court by the Government.

Accordingly, the defendants, once again, request an immediate conference with the Court to discuss the very serious issue of how to move forward, given the significant changes to the government's case. With each day nearer to the scheduled trial, the prejudice to Defendants increases significantly. -- Judge endorsed: The Court's Order dated 11/4/2011 directed the parties to address the matter set forth above to Magistrate Judge Francis in the event they were unable to work out a consensual resolution.

By letter dated October 31, 2011, third parties Martin Stalone, David Eckhart and Investment Management Advisory Group, Inc. (collectively, the "Third Parties") request that the Court seal or redact certain documents filed in this proceeding to protect their privacy interest. Specifically, the Third Parties ask that "Tab A" of Docket No. 252 be removed from the public record and filed under seal. The Third Parties also seek an order directing that all similar materials be filed under seal or redacted and that any hearing related to similar subject matter be closed to the public.... However, the Court finds that the Third Parties' request to seal Tab A of Docket No. 252 was not addressed in the Court's Order, but that it accords with that Order and is warranted to protect the Third Parties' privacy interests. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to re-file, under seal, Docket No. 252. Additionally counsel for the defendants in this action are directed to re-submit to chambers, within three days of this Order, the letter currently listed as Docket No. 252. This re-submitted letter should be identical to the document concurrently listed as Docket No. 252 with the sole alteration of redacting the material behind Tab A. SO ORDERED.

Before the Court is the request of all defendants in the three above-captioned matters for this Court to determine whether the way in which the government used confidential informants to record certain conversations with targets of its investigation tainted the prosecution of defendants in each case such that some remedy is appropriate. Having held a taint hearing on December 20, 2011 and after reviewing all the evidence submitted to the Court, we conclude that the defendants have not sustained their burden to show specific evidence of taint in a substantial portion of any of the three above-captioned matters. Therefore, their request for relief arising out of any taint issues is DENIED. (Signed by Judge Victor Marrero on 12/30/11)(jw) (Entered: 12/30/2011)
