Re In re Norrf1.Weszern Corporation
Magten Asset Management Corp. v. Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker LLP,
Civil. Action No. 04-l256~JJF
Dear Judge Farnan:
This firm is co—counsel for Paul, Hastings, J anofsky 8; Waiker LLP ("Paul
Hastings"), along with the tirm of Davis Polk & Wardwell, in the above—referenced action, No.
04—l256—JJF.
We write in response to the letter dated December l6, 2005 sent to Your Honor
by counsel for plaintiff l\/lagten Asset Management Corporation ("Magten") and the letter dated
December 19, 2005 sent to Your Honor by counsel for North Western Corporation
("NorthWestern"), defendant in a related action (Civil Action No. 04-1494-J J F).
In particular, we write to express our concurrence in the views stated in the
December l9, 2005 letter sent to Your Honor by counsel for NorthWestern: Paul Hastings, like
Nortt1Western, has no objection to the appointment of Judge Louie C. Bechtle as Special Master.
Moreover, Paul Hastings concurs in NortbWestern’s view that it would be premature and
inappropriate for Magten to submit proposed orders or request that the Court tix deadlines with
respect to discovery in advance of the conference required by Rule 26(D of the Federal Ruies of
Civil Procedure.
