IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUI T IN RE BANK AMERICA CORPORATION SECURITIES LITIGATION CAROL MACKAY, Appellant, vs . Appeal No . 02-3783 HUGH McCOLL, et al ., Appeal from the Eastern District of Missouri Appellees. MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD ON APPEA L Comes now Carol Mackay, executrix for the Estate of Joseph I . Sir, deceased, appellant in the above-referenced matter, and under the authority of Fed.R.App .P. Rule 10(e), respectfully move s this Court for an Order, allowing for the Record on Appeal to be supplemented, if deemed necessary, and as grounds shows unto the Court the following : 1 . This appeal arises from the district court's Order approving a class action se ttlement regarding the shareholders of NationsBank and Bank of America . 2. The Notice of the Settlement was sent out to the shareholders and, in part, provide d for comments and objections to the Settlement to be heard at a scheduled fairness hearing . 3 . Carol Mackay, executrix for the Estate of Joseph I . Sir, deceased , through her counsel , filed objections to the Settlement, a motion to intervene, and a proposed complaint in intervention . 4. In the motion to intervene, counsel represented to the district court that Carol Mackay , in her representative capacity, was a shareholder in NationsBank prior to the merger . That was the only proof offered of membership in the class . The district court accepted her status as a clas s member and granted her motion to intervene . Appellees have not appealed that Order . 5. Appellees now seek to dismiss this appeal based upon the fact that no proof wa s provided of either Carol Mackay's appointment as executrix for the Estate of Joseph I . Sir, deceased, or that Joseph I . Sir, prior to his death, was a member of the class . ' 6. Assuming arguendo that the Court requires additional evidence, Carol Mackay requests the opportunity to supplement the Record by filing : Exhibit "A" attached hereto which is a certified copy of the Letters Testamentary appointing her as executrix for the Estate of Joseph I . Sir; Exhibit `B" attached hereto which is a copy of Joseph I . Sir's account with Prudential Financia l for the period of September 1- 30, 1998, showing holdings in NationsBank of 2,011 .586 shares ; and Exhibit "C" attached hereto which is a copy of a letter, dated April 23, 2002, issued from Prudentia l Financial to Joseph I . Sir, after his death, stating that " [o]ur records indicate that you meet th e requirements of eli ibility" . to participate in this class action . 7. Such requests have been granted when justice so demands . Dakota Industries, Inc. v. Dakota Sportswear, Inc., 988 F .2d 61, 63 (8`h Cir . 1993), citing with approval Turk v. United States, 429 F.2d 1327, 1329 (8" Cir. 1970); and Dickerson v. Alabama, 667 F .2d 1364, 1367 (11`h Cir.) cert. denied, 459 U .S. 878, 103 S .Ct. 173, 74 L .Ed.2nd 142 (1982). WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Carol Mackay, as executrix for the Estate o f ' Appellees failed to challenge Ms . Mackay's status at the fairness hearing and, with all due respect, should be estopped from doing so now . 2 Joseph I. Sir, respectfully request that the Court grant appellant's motion, and allow Exhibits "A" , "B", and "C" attached hereto to become a part of the Record on Appeal, if necessary, and grant suc h other and further relief as is just .
