The filing of this action brings the number of total pending cases to twenty, and the total number of plaintiffs to 803. Counsel for the defendants plan to remove this case to federal court, as they have with the previously-filed cases. Renco and its affiliates reiterate the requests for action by Centromin, Activos Mineros S.A.C, and the Republic of Peru as outlined in my prior correspondence, including in my letter to you dated November 16, 2012.
