SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 12 – A lawsuit against
Citigroup first filed in 2004
was transferred from retired
Magistrate Judge Henry B.
Pitman to then-new Magistrate
Judge Sarah L. Cave in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York.
And still at a conference on
November 12, 2019 many of the
issues involved Citigroup
through its law firm Cleary
Gottlieb seeking to strike and
redact documents from the
docket and otherwise withhold
them from the public.
Back
in May Inner City Press reported
on a conference in this
case, Advanced Analyics v.
Citigroup Global Markets,
at which then-Judge Pitman
granted a Citigroup motion to
seal, saying if the public
objected, maybe things would
be different.
The
question, of course, is how
would the public know?
On
November 20 Magistrate Judge
Cave began by proposing
language for Citigroup and
proposed intervenors to confer
and jointly write to the Court
if they reach an agreement. If
they don't, Citigroup would
have some 21 days to respond
to a motion.
Advanced Analytics lawyer
Peter J. Toren, different than
its counsel in May, asked to
be part of the process
including on the issue of how
much would be sealed. There is
also a pending motion for fees
against Toren; his request
defer it was denied by Judge
Cave.
Typically for
this case, the conference
ended with yet another
document Citigroup wants
sealed or further redacted.
Toren said there are three
versions "floating around."
The one in the docket is
repeatedly marked redacted,
with Cleary Gottlieb for
Citigroup to inform the
court how much sealing
it wanted.
Jump cut to
February 2, 2022; the parties
were once again before Judge
Cave, now about attorneys'
fees. AAI and Collins have
been given until March 2 to
show cause why they should not
be held in contempt for
failing to pay Citigroup's
attorneys' fees of $57,270.91.
The case is Advanced
Analyics Inc. v. Citigroup
Global Markets, et al,
04-cv-3531 (Swain / Cave)
