OPINION & ORDER #90789; the settlement between plaintiffs and all defendants except Merrill Lynch and Sullivan, and the bar order contained in the settlement agreement are approved. Twenty percent of the cash settlement fund shall be reserved for potential distribution to counsel. From that reserved amount, the following sums are awarded now: attorneys' fees in the amount of $5,000,000 are awarded to Appointed Counsel for post-appointment work. Costs and expenses for post-appointment work are also awarded to Appointed Counsel. Appointed Counsel may renew their application for a further award of attorney's fees from the reserved amount at the conclusion of the litigation against Merrill Lynch. The request by Vivien Counsel and Emanuele Counsel for reimbursement of expenses for pre-appointment work is granted. Vivien Counsel and Emanuele Counsel may submit their time records in further support of an award of attorney's fees to them from the reserved amount for their pre-attorney's fees and expenses is denied.
