2012-08-14 14 0 Letter addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan from Daniel P. Goldberg dated 8/8/2012. re:Counsel writes in response to Mr. Zeisler's letter of earlier today to submit the complete email chain of my exchange with him (which is attached), as Mr. Zeisler did not submit my responses to his last email, which we believe bear on the issue. As to Mr. Zeisler's statement that we omitted from the proposed order a tolling of the statute of limitations for the claims already asserted by Plaintiffs, we did not intend to foreclose that possibility. If Plaintiffs will agree to the construct we proposed, as we advised Mr. Zeisler, Defendants would agree to such a tolling, and we certainly would not object to Your Honor so ordering as much.
