I am a partner in the law firm of Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP (“NM&F”), which maintains offices for the practice of law at 155 Seaport Blvd., Boston, Massachusetts, as well as in Hyannis, and am duly admitted to practice law in Massachusetts. 2. This Supplemental Declaration is provided as a supplement to Exhibit B of the Debtors’ Application For Entry Of An Order Authorizing The Employment And Retention Of Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP As Intellectual Property Counsel To The Debtors, ECF No. 167 (the “Initial Declaration”). 1 The Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases and the last four digits of each Debtor's taxpayer identification number are as follows: Dean & Deluca New York, Inc. (3111); Dean & Deluca, Inc. (2998); Dean & Deluca Brands, Inc. (2878); Dean & Deluca International, LLC (8995); Dean & Deluca Small Format, LLC (1806); Dean & Deluca Atlanta, LLC (6678); Dean & Deluca Markets, LLC (2674). The registered address for the Debtors is 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, Delaware 19808. 20-10916-mew Doc 315 Filed 09/17/20 Entered 09/17/20 17:14:41 Main Document Pg 2 of 16 I. NMF Connections in this Chapter 11 Case. 3. In connection with the Debtors’ proposed retention of NMF, an extensive review (the “Connections Check”) of NMF’s clients, adverse parties and related parties (collectively, “Firm Connections”) was performed to ascertain whether NMF had any “connection” (as such term is used in Bankruptcy Rule 2014(a)) with the Debtors herein, their creditors, any other party in interest herein, or their respective attorneys or accountants, to the extent any such entities were known at such time (the “Case Parties”). 4. NMF has received a list of the Case Parties, as compiled by the Debtors, attached as Schedule 1 hereto, and has compared this to NMF’s records to determine the existence of any possible conflicts (the “Conflict Check”). The results of this Conflict Check are disclosed in the Application. The list was represented by the Debtors to be comprehensive and include the following categories of parties: the Debtors and their affiliates, officers and directors of the Debtors and their affiliates, creditors, equity holders, landlords, professionals, and other parties-in-interest. 5. To the best of my knowledge after diligent inquiry, neither NMF, nor any professional associated with or employed by NMF or any affiliate of NMF, has any “connection” (as such term is used in Bankruptcy Rule 2014(a)) with the Debtors herein, their creditors, any other party in interest herein, their respective attorneys or accountants, the United States Trustee, or any person employed in the office of the United States Trustee. To the best of my knowledge, any “connection” of NMF to the matched entities is limited to matters unrelated to the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases. 2 20-10916-mew Doc 315 Filed 09/17/20 Entered 09/17/20 17:14:41 Main Document Pg 3 of 16 6. By reason of the foregoing, I believe that NMF is eligible for employment and retention by the Debtor pursuant to section 327(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, the applicable Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules II. NMF Compensation. 7. NM&F was retained by the Debtors pursuant to an engagement letter dated July 2, 2020, attached as Exhibit 3 to the Initial Declaration. NM&F has not received a retainer or any other payments from the Debtors to date. Notably, Mr. Leonardo’s hourly rate of $725 is below the blended hourly rate charged by Brown Rudnick, therefore representing a cost savings to the Debtors. 8. NM&F intends to apply for compensation for professional services rendered in connection with the chapter 11 cases subject to the approval of this Court and compliance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, Local Rules, the UST Guidelines and any Orders entered in these chapter 11 cases concerning compensation of professionals, on an hourly basis, plus reimbursement of actual, necessary expenses and other charges incurred by NMF. 9. To the extent that the Engagement Letter provides otherwise, NMF will not charge the Debtors for any administrative services resulting from or pertaining to the Services provided. 10. To the extent that the engagement letter provides otherwise, NMF will not charge the Debtors additional fees and will not perform additional work outside of those Services to be provided without further application filed on notice and authorized by the Court. 3 20-10916-mew Doc 315 Filed 09/17/20 Entered 09/17/20 17:14:41 Main Document Pg 4 of 16 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

    Manko v. Lenox Hill Hospital et al Doc. 33 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK NELLA MANKO, Plaintiff, 20-CV-9928 (LTS) -against- ORDER LENOX HILL HOSPITAL, ET AL., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated July 11, 2013, Judge Loretta Preska barred Plaintiff from filing any new action in forma pauperis (IFP) without first obtaining from the Court leave to file. See Manko v. Schlesinger, ECF 1:12-CV-9059, 11 (S.D.N.Y. July 11, 2013). Plaintiff filed this new pro se action on November 24, 2020, by placing it into a court drop box, but she did not seek leave from the Court to file, and her submission did not include an IFP application. Plaintiff wrote “Pro Se Filing – New Case – Fee Paid” on the envelope (ECF 1-2, at 126), but she did not tender the $400.00 in fees required to bring a civil action in this Court at the time she filed the complaint.1 By December 17, 2020, there was no indication on the docket that Plaintiff had tendered the filing fees. Moreover, the Court confirmed with its Finance Department that Plaintiff had not tendered the filing fees. Because it appeared that Plaintiff had not tendered the fees and had not sought or obtained leave to file IFP, by order dated December 17, 2020, then-Chief Judge Colleen McMahon dismissed the complaint without prejudice and entered judgment. (ECF 17, 19.) 1 At the time, the filing fees to file a civil action were $400.00.

  • PUERTO RICO FORWARD Episode 17: PROMESA, PT.4 Transcript Andrew Mercado-Vázquez
    PUERTO RICO FORWARD Episode 17: PROMESA, PT.4 Transcript Andrew Mercado-Vázquez Well my friends, all good things must come to an end. Welcome to the final installment of our four part series discussing the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability 1 ​ Act , or PROMESA for short. Considering PROMESA’s complex structure and nature, I strongly recommend to our supporters to listen to the series in order so as to avoid possible confusions. In my effort to bring to a close this general overview of PROMESA and its various effects, the fact that we’ve only been able to scratch the surface of its implications is not lost on me. Although we’ve highlighted what I consider to be the most important parts of PROMESA and have taken the time to discussed how certain provisions of said law have served as a basis for court rulings and political games, it is YOU, the listener, or reader, who will truly accomplish a deep understanding of the matter. If you truly see yourself as an ally in the fight of the Puerto Rico (PR) issue, I encourage you to really dig deep into matters that have a lasting and significant impact on the subject, such as PROMESA. This series provides a basic, well rounded introduction, but our goal must always be mastery; and that’s on each one of us as individuals. We begin today’s discussion we’re diving into the sections of the bill that handle the process of adjusting PR’s debt, more commonly known as Title III.
