SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 25 – Forex trader Rohan
Ramchandrani sued Citigroup
for tricking DOJ into
indicting him. Now there are
disputes about deposing a DOJ
witness.
On
March 23, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Magistrate Judge
Stewart D. Aaron held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
plaintiff has complained about
Citigroup moving for the DOJ
deposition before completing
its discovery production.
Judge Aaron asked
pointed questions about delay,
then held a non-public portion
about counsel's health.
To his
credit he returned with a
public summary, and said he'll
leave some of the timing of
the depositions to counsel.
On June 13, Judge
Aaron held another proceeding,
and Inner City Press again
covered it. This time Judge
Aaron ordered the plaintiff to
provide Citi with a proposed
stipulation regarding
annotated chats related to
Cleary's meetings with DOJ,
and report back by June 14.
On June 14,
Citigroup's lawyers at Goodwin
Proctor wrote to Judge Aaron
that "the parties have been
unable to reach an agreement
on a stipulation."
On July 25, Judge
Aaron held another proceeding
and Inner City Press again
covered it. Judge Aaron
extended the discovery
deadline until August 15 to
take a remote two-hour
deposition of Forese. By July
28 Citi is to contact Forese.
The case is
Ramchandani v. CitiBank
National Association et al.,
19-cv-9124 (Marrero /
Aaron)
