Anders, there was a later Second Circuit decision, which I covered in October 2013. Also, the judge overruled in part and sustained in part objections to the magistrate judge’s decision that was the subject of this post and held the Iraqi government and some of its lawyers in contempt for failure to comply with their discovery obligations. I believe that that last order is still on appeal. Ethan’s comments, above, noted some of these developments.

Rather, the post-judgment discovery order was issued by the District Court Judge (Berman) himself (and, thus, subject to the certification process before the Magistrate).
