hier zu posten, daher erst jetzt:
Tim Howard wurde von Richterin Sweeney nicht zum Verfahren zugelassen. Mit der Begründung, dass schon genug Beweise vorlägen und er kein unabhängiger Zeuge wäre, da er selbst Fannie Aktien besitzt. Es ist aber nicht verboten, dass er beratend zur Seite steht.
Den Kurs hat das jedenfalls nicht großartig gejuckt. Wieder mit Gap gestartet und lange im Plus gewesen. Mittlerweile zwar leicht im Minus, dafür ist das Gap aber geschlossen und es herrscht zumindest nicht die Ausverkauf-Stimmung wie nach dem Lamberth-Urteil. Markt allgemein wieder ziemlich rot. Die Entscheidung scheint den Amis also nicht allzu viel auszumachen.
"In sum, the court finds that defendant has presented sufficient evidence to support its claim that dire harm would flow from the disclosure of the sensitive material that is the subject of the protective order. Defendant has also demonstrated that Mr. Howard is not a dispassionate, independent expert, but rather, a stockholder and former Fannie Mae executive with a personal motivation to resuscitate his career and be vindicated about his leadership of Fannie Mae. For these reasons, the court will not grant him access to the privileged material. In reaching its conclusion, the court examined the facts supplied by defendant, including Mr. Howard’s public statements concerning his desire for vindication, and evaluated them in light of the grave harm to the nation’s economy that would result from the disclosure of information subject to the protective order, inadvertent or otherwise. However, the court wishes to stress that this ruling should not be misconstrued as an adverse ruling concerning Mr. Howard’s character. The court has not concluded that Mr. Howard is untrustworthy, but has rather determined that the need to protect United States financial markets from the consequences that would flow from the deliberate or inadvertent disclosure of sensitive material trumps Mr. Howard’s request for access. Accordingly, because disclosure of the protected information could place this nation’s financial markets in jeopardy, a risk that the court is not willing to take, especially in light of the fact that Mr. Howard is not the sole expert available to assist plaintiffs, Mr. Howard is DENIED entry to the protective order in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED."
