Superseded by Judge's Order dated 10/28/2019, Doc. #5234 in case 1:03-md-1570. AMENDED ORDER APPROVING NOTICES TO CONFORM, SHORT FORM COMPLAINTS, AND NOTICES OF AMENDMENT: The Court has previously issued several orders approving forms and setting procedures for the filing of new claims against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ("Saudi Arabia") and the Islamic Republic of Iran ("Iran"). ECF Nos. 3543, 3982, 4010. Because of the piecemeal manner in which the various types of new claims have been addressed, the applicable forms and procedures have become convoluted and inconsistent. In addition, the plaintiffs have sought to find ways of adding more plaintiffs to a single case than the Court intended by utilizing a combination of short form complaints and notices of amendment. The Court is attempting to manage the influx of new cases and claims in the most efficient and organized manner possible. To that end, the Court will now establish new procedures governing all newly filed claims against Iran and Saudi Arabia. This Amended Order supersedes ECF Nos. 3543, 3982, and 4010 in their entirety. The parties are directed to adhere to both the letter and spirit of these procedures. In addition, any plaintiff wishing to withdraw from the case must seek leave from the Court to dismiss his or her claims in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Court's Local Civil Rules, and as further set forth in this order.

For the foregoing reasons, the PECs' motion for sanctions is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Defendants Al-Obaid, Al-Turki, Basha, and Naseef are precluded from offering any testimony or further evidence, other than such evidence that has been produced as of the date of this Opinion and Order, to rebut admissible evidence offered by a party to establish these defendants' whereabouts on a particular date. In addition, Defendants Al-Buthe, Al-Turki, Basha, and Naseef are ORDERED to produce certifications that fully comply with the Courts orders within 30 days of the date of this Opinion and Order. The certifications from Al-Turki, Basha, and Naseef must describe the specific medical issues that have prevented them from fulfilling their discovery obligations in a timely manner, and the certifications from Al-Turki and Naseef must indicate whether they are continuing to participate in this litigation. In the alternative, if Al-Turki, Basha, or Naseef is incapacitated, that defendant may produce a competent sworn or affirmed certification from a qualified treating physician identifying the specific medical issues that have prevented the defendant from fulfilling his discovery obligations. If defense counsel is unable to contact Al-Turki and Naseef, counsel must file a letter with the Court within 30 days of the date of this Opinion and Order describing his efforts to contact his clients and indicating when he last had contact with them. The Court will then consider whether a default should be entered against them. If the Charity Officials remain noncompliant with the Court's orders, the Court may impose additional sanctions and may order them to show cause why they should not be held in contempt. Finally, the Court will require the Charity Officials to pay the reasonable attorneys' fees and costs that the PECs incurred in bringing their motion for sanctions. The parties are ORDERED to meet and confer and make good faith efforts to reach agreement on the reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Within 60 days of the date of this Opinion and Order, the parties shall file a joint status letter indicating whether they have agreed upon the attorneys' fees and costs that should be imposed. If the parties have not reached agreement, the status letter should propose a reasonable schedule for briefing on the amount of the attorneys' fees and costs. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 3748. SO ORDERED.

Superseded by Judge's Order dated 7/10/2018, Doc. #4045 in case 1:03-md-1570. ORDER in case 1:03-cv-09848-GBD; terminating (4007) Letter Motion for Leave to File Document in case 1:03-md-01570-GBD-SN. The Court hereby approves the Iran Short Form Complaint, ECF No. 4007-1, and Ashton Short Form Saudi Arabia Complaint, ECF No. 4007-2, and further orders as follows: Iran Short Form Complaint. Any plaintiff who has not yet filed a claim against Iran, but intends to do so, may initiate an action against Iran through the filing of an Iran Short Form Complaint, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the PECs' May 23, 2018 Letter, ECF No. 4007-1...As new complaints are being filed against Saudi Arabia, the Court would like to put all plaintiffs on notice that, in the event that liability is ultimately established against Saudi Arabia, solatium claimants shall be required to present documentary evidence of their family relationship to a 9/11 decedent for the Court's review. Such evidence would consist of birth or marriage certificates or, in their absence, sworn affidavits attesting to a family relationship eligible for recovery. For deceased solatium claimants, a death certificate or sworn affidavit shall be requested to ensure that the claimant did not predecease the 9/11 victim. Cf. ECF No. 3442, 3445 (orders vacating judgments against Islamic Republic of Iran and dismissing claims of solatium claimants who had pre-deceased victims). Although liability and damages are bifurcated in this case, the Court strongly encourages all plaintiffs to gather the necessary documentation before or shortly after the filing or amendment of their complaints because such documentation may be more difficult to obtain with the passage of time. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 4007, and as further set forth herein.

ORDER. The Plaintiffs' Executive Committees' motion to modify the procedures for adding or removing plaintiffs to or from existing cases without seeking further leave from the Court is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. A new plaintiff asserting claims for solatium damages with respect to a deceased family member may be added to the existing case of the decedent's estate without seeking further leave from the Court by (1) filing a Notice of Amendment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and then (2) adding the new plaintiff's name to the docket of the existing case on ECF. Names added onto the docket must be in First Name Last Name format, with only first letters capitalized (i.e., not written in all capitalized letters). No more than 25 new plaintiffs may be added to an existing case with a single Notice of Amendment. Attorneys wishing to add new plaintiffs using this procedure are strongly encouraged to contact the Clerk of Court and make arrangements to send members of their technical staff to court-sponsored training regarding the proper protocols for adding new plaintiffs to existing dockets. Plaintiffs added by this procedure need not re-serve defendants who have already been served. Any motion previously ruled on by the Court will be considered to have been filed and decided in the same manner and shall apply with equal force with regard to the claims of each new plaintiff. All other new plaintiffs must follow the procedures established in the Court's May 3, 2017 and January 24, 2018 Orders. ECF Nos. 3543, 3883 (in case no. 03md1570). Any plaintiff wishing to withdraw from the case must seek leave from the Court to dismiss his or her claims in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Court's Local Civil Rules. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 3943 (in case no. 03md1570). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn on 4/27/2018).

ORDER: On Wednesday, January 24, 2018, the Court held a telephone conference with the parties to discuss the remaining disputes regarding the deposition protocol. The Court has decided the disputed matters and has separately issued a Deposition Protocol Order. For the sake of clarity, the Court will briefly explain its decisions regarding the disputed matters. First, the Court determined that each side will be permitted to take 75 depositions. The plaintiffs proposed 100 depositions as a fair number. This number was based, in part, on the plaintiffs' Rule 26(a) Witness List and their deposition protocol proposal, which identified dozens of individuals from each of the five organizational defendants and six individual defendants that they intended to depose. In addition, plaintiffs reference a 2015 multidistrict litigation (involving products liability) that authorized 100 depositions for each side and included damages depositions (which this protocol does not). The plaintiffs state that they intend to depose current and former employees of the defendant organizations, former government officials and incarcerated al Qaeda members. Defendants, for their part, argue first for 50 depositions, but in the main argue for parity, and as further set forth in this order.

DEPOSITION PROTOCOL ORDER: The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ("JPML") established In re Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001, 03 MDL 1570, and began transferring cases related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks from various judicial districts to this Court ("the MDL Court") for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. In addition to cases transferred into the MDL by the JPML, other cases related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks have been consolidated with this multidistrict proceeding (collectively, "MDL Proceeding"). A fundamental purpose of multidistrict litigation under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 is to facilitate the conduct of efficient and non-duplicative discovery relating to questions of fact common to transferred and coordinated actions. The Parties have expressed an intention to conduct deposition discovery in the MDL Proceeding. Although several prior orders (see, e.g., ECF Nos. 247, 248, 1547, and 1900) contain provisions relating to depositions in the MDL Proceeding, the Court directed the Parties to meet and confer (see ECF No. 3541) to develop more specific protocols, and as further set forth in this order.

ORDER: A telephone conference is scheduled for Wednesday, January 24, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. The parties are directed to provide a call-in for the Court and all parties. The Plaintiffs' Executive Committees and the Defendants' Executive Committee should each select one representative to speak on their behalf. The parties should be prepared to discuss several issues regarding the proposed deposition protocol. First, paragraph 7 of the proposed deposition protocol contemplates that merits and jurisdictional discovery will be completed within the same timeframe. The parties should be prepared to discuss whether depositions relating to jurisdictional discovery should conclude sooner than depositions relating to merits discovery. The parties should also be prepared to discuss a plan for taking depositions relating to the merits of the claims against the defendants who are currently in jurisdictional discovery in the event that those claims are not dismissed on jurisdictional grounds. Second, the parties should be prepared to discuss the number of fact depositions per side and whether the two sides should be allowed to take the same number of depositions (Paragraph 35). Furthermore, the parties should be prepared to discuss the reasoning behind the numbers they have proposed, including the specific witnesses they wish to depose and why they believe depositions of those witnesses are critical. At this time, the Court is inclined to permit 75 depositions for the plaintiffs; it is unclear whether a similar number for the defendants is necessary. Third, the parties should be prepared to discuss which depositions should be counted toward any imposed limit (Paragraph 38). At this time, the Court is inclined not to count de bene esse depositions but to count any discovery deposition of a witness whose testimony is subsequently taken for trial preservation. In addition, the defendants' proposal with respect to this paragraph refers to a party noticing "the deposition of its own witness." The defendants should be prepared to explain what this phrase means and how it is distinguishable from depositions to perpetuate testimony for trial.

ORDER: Over the past several months, Short Form Complaints have been filed in the above-listed actions, adding thousands of new plaintiffs to this already large multidistrict litigation. See ECF Nos. 360001, 360306, 3779. Most of these new plaintiffs allege that they sustained personal injuries in connection with the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and few of the plaintiffs raise wrongful death claims. The parties are ORDERED to file three-page letter submissions by November 28, 2017, addressing the propriety of litigating these direct personal injury claims (i.e., non-wrongful death claims) in this multidistrict litigation. Specially, the parties should address whether or not the claims are "related" according to the Court's Rules For the Division of Business Among District Judges. In addition, the parties should discuss whether these claims require any action by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the "Panel") under Rules 6.2, 7.1, and 7.2 of the Panel's Rules of Procedure, or under any other Rule or provision. For purposes of these submissions, the Court requests one letter from the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee, one joint letter from those lawyers representing plaintiffs pursuing these non-wrongful death claims, and one letter from the Defendants' Executive Committee.

Daniels at 3:00 P.M. on Thursday, March 23, 2017, in Courtroom 11A, Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, New York, 10007 is unnecessary. Accordingly, this conference is CANCELLED. However, in light of the filing of numerous tag-along actions against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Court has case management concerns that it needs to address with the parties as part of its responsibility to manage the pretrial process. Therefore, the Court schedules a limited status conference for 3:00 P.M. on Thursday, March 23, 2017, in Courtroom 219, Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, New York, 10007. The following parties are ordered to attend this conference. (1) Counsel for plaintiffs in all newly-filed cases against Saudi Arabia, including: Bowrosen v. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 16cv8070 (GBD)(SN); McCarthy v. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 16cv8884 (GBD)(SN); 43D36AB v. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 16cv9937 (GBD)(SN); Aguilar v. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 16cv9963 (GBD)(SN); Hodges v. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 17cv117 (GBD)(SN); Desimone v. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 17cv348 (GBD)(SN); Aiken v. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 17cv450 (GBD)(SN); and as further set forth herein. SO ORDERED.

ORDER: It is counsel's responsibility to check not only the ECF docket for their cases, but also the 03-MDL-1570 docket because orders docketed therein apply to all cases consolidated with the MDL. As relevant to these cases, counsel should be aware that my February 16, 2017 Order (ECF No. 3449), extended the deadline for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to file a motion to dismiss to June 1, 2017, as to all complaints filed against it. To the extent that the phrasing "newly filed complaints" in that Order is ambiguous, the Court clarifies that the Order applies to all cases against Saudi Arabia within the MDL. Counsel should also be aware that their presence is required at a status conference scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 23, 2017, in Courtroom 219, Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York, New York, 10007. Furthermore, any filing in any related case must also be filed on the 03-MDL-1570 docket. This ensures that all parties in the MDL are apprised of any matter that may affect them, and permits the Court to engage in sound docket management. Any documents that have not been so filed, including the recent motions for service by publication filed in certain cases, are to be refiled on the 03-MDL-1570 docket. (Status Conference set for 3/23/2017 at 03:00 PM in Courtroom 219, 40 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007 before Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn.)
