Circuit Briefing
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................
An update on the many recent appellate filings in the NML v.
Argentina matter.
As provided in the schedule adopted by the Second Circuit for hearing the appeal from
Judge Griesa’s November 21 Injunction, the principal appellate brief for the Republic of
Argentina, as well as the briefs of various entities granted “non-party appellant” and
“intervenor” status, and briefs of amici supporting both sides, have all been filed.
The plaintiffs’ briefs are due to be filed on January 25, 2013; replies by the appellants are
due on February 1 (at which point briefing should be concluded); oral argument is
scheduled for February 27. We will issue a further update following receipt of these
additional briefs.
We summarize below the main arguments running through these many pleadings. Copies of
all of the filings with the Second Circuit discussed below, as well as Judge Griesa’s
November 21 Injunctions and our prior notes on this topic, can all be found on our
