| 2017-02-11 | 55 | 0 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The Court has reviewed plaintiff's motion seeking permission to present the testimony of Danny Pierce in support of plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, and to do so via a deposition or telephonically. The Court does not at this time rule on the motion; it will hear brief argument and will rule at the outset of the preliminary injunction hearing on Monday, February 13. The Court advises, however, that presentation of the testimony via deposition would require the hearing to be continued beyond the current two-day period set for its completion, which the Court is disinclined to do. In addition, presentation of Mr. Pierce's testimony telephonically requires a showing of "good cause in compelling circumstances and with appropriate safeguards," Fed. R. Civ. P. 43(a), and it is anything but clear that the mere fact that Mr. Pierce lives in another state is sufficient to make this showing. Plaintiff would be well advised to make best efforts to make arrangements for Mr. Pierce to be able to appear in person on Tuesday, February 14. (mk) (Entered: 02/11/2017) | |||

| 2017-08-08 | 114 | 0 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The receiver has moved for payment of fees and expenses incurred from 3/1/2017 through 4/30/2017. No objection having been filed within the time set by the Court, and the Court having reviewed the motion, the motion is granted. Fees and expenses for this period incurred by the receiver, Robb Evans & Assocs. LLC, are approved in the amount of $27,289.17, and fees and expenses for this period incurred by the receiver's counsel, Hiltz & Zanzig LLC, are approved in the amount of $11,460.10. The Court is concerned, however, with the overall amount of fees incurred by the receiver and, in particular, by the receiver's counsel given the limited amount of funds available for consumer redress in this case. Among other things, there seems to be a significant amount charged for consultation and communication between the receiver and counsel, including consultation and communication about the progress of the litigation, to which the receiver is not a party. The Court expected and continues to expect the receiver and counsel to limit these consultations and communications, or at least the amounts charged for them, to that which is absolutely necessary. Going forward, the Court intends to give a greater degree of scrutiny to the fee requests by the receiver and counsel, including any fee requests for any period after the one covered by the present motion. In addition, the Court does not see the need for the receiver's counsel to be participating in court hearings on a regular basis and will not approve fees related to such appearances except upon a particularized showing of the need for the receiver's counsel to participate. Finally, the Court wishes to obtain from plaintiff's counsel (not from the receiver and his counsel, because the Court does not want to see an invoice for this) a plan and projection for what the receiver and counsel will be expected to do on a going-forward basis. This is to be submitted by 8/15/2017. (mk) (Entered: 08/08/2017) | |||

Finally, in light of new counsel for Brown and CBC's representation in his reply in support of their motion for extension of deadlines [140, p. 2] that previous counsel Anthony Zini and Parker MacKay have not turned over documents to successor counsel, the Court orders Mr. Zini and Mr. MacKay to show cause in writing by 10/27/2017 why the order permitting them to withdraw should not be vacated and why they should not be sanctioned. The show cause hearing is set for 11/2/2017 at 9:30 AM, and an in-person appearance by Mr. Zini and Mr. MacKay will be required unless they verify under oath by 10/27/2017 that they have turned over their files, or copies of their files, to successor counsel. The Clerk is directed to e-mail a copy of this order forthwith to Gregory Zini at gzini@barclaydamon,com and to Parker MacKay at parker@mackaylawoffice.com. Mailed notice.
