We’re reaching out about the pending motions to dismiss in the District of Puerto Rico litigation.  As 
your team has noted in the Arbitration, the Easter and Passover holidays are coming up this week, which 
affects availability to work on briefing.  We also think that these motions, which focus on the timing of 
the arbitral decision and service of process, can be resolved among the parties.  We propose that (1) all 
parties agree to stay the litigation pending an interim decision by the Arbitrator in the ongoing 
Arbitration (i.e., a decision on the merits of the arbitration hearing, not a final determination of 
attorneys’ fees and costs), (2) defendants withdraw their motions to dismiss without prejudice, and (3) 
counsel accept service for Bernie and Claudia Navarro, which will avoid them having process servers 
serve them personally.  Our local Puerto Rico counsel has reached out to Defendants’ Puerto Rico 
counsel about this but has not yet heard back.  In light of the upcoming holidays and briefing deadlines, 
we ask that you please get back to us by the end of the day today.  I’m happy to discuss by phone if that 
would be helpful. 
  
Regards, 
Josh
