Re: Thomas Abrams et al. v. AMC Liquidating
CA 04-1372 — JJF; Bankruptcy Case No. 00-3358-PJW
Dear Judge Farnan,
I was advised to write you regarding the above-numbered appeal and will
also copy all defendant attorneys. I am unfamiliar with federal appellate procedure
from Delaware bankruptcy courts. Will you kindly inform me as to when the
briefing schedule begins?
Secondly, per your 10/21/04 Docketing of my Notice of Appeal, and your
07/23/04 Standing Order, you referred this matter to the Appellate Mediation Panel
on 10/21/04 and noted documents prepared for mediation should be submitted to
the mediator (Kevin Brady, Esq., in this case). Mr. Brady informed me last week
that the appellee-defendant does not wish to submit to mediation and that Judge
Farnan has been notified.
I would like to obtain copies of any correspondence or documents that the
appellee provided to the mediator regarding this appeal to date. Unfortunately, I
have attempted to contact the appellees’ attorneys - AMC attorney James
McLaughlin and Cisco Systems attorney Patrick Vance - however, neither of them
have responded to my inquiries.
What is the purpose of "mediation" if one side is allowed to walk away
without even attempting to resolve the issues on appeal? For instance, unless my
proof of claim is paid in full or mediated, on appeal I will insist that this matter be
converted to a RICO Act suit based on racketeering and securities fraud, as alleged
both in the state court and bankruptcy court below. If it is within your authority, I
request that you send this case back to the mediation.
Very truly yours,
Thomas Abrams
