Motion to Withdraw as Counsel (Jenner & Block LLP) — In re January 2021 Short Squeeze Trading Litigation (Dkt. 544, S.D. Fla.)

Summary

A Motion to Withdraw as Counsel in In re: January 2021 Short Squeeze Trading Litigation, Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA (Case No. 1:21-md-02989-ALTONAGA/Torres, Document 544, 2 pages), in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, entered March 23, 2023, relating to All Actions. Under Local Rule 11.1(d)(3)(A), Gregory M. Boyle, Brian Hauck and Jenner & Block LLP seek to withdraw as counsel for The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and The Depository Trust Company (DTCC), retained in several cases transferred to the MDL starting April 1, 2021. The motion says none of the MDL complaints, filed July 27, 2021 and November 30, 2021, or later amended complaints named DTCC as a defendant, so Jenner Counsel should be removed from the Court's service list, over the /s/ signature of Gregory M. Boyle.

   This Document Relates to All Actions

                               MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL

            Pursuant to Local Rule 11.1(d)(3)(A), Gregory M. Boyle, Brian Hauck, and Jenner &

   Block LLP (collectively “Jenner Counsel”) hereby move this Court for an Order granting

   permission to withdraw as counsel for The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and The

   Depository Trust Company (collectively “DTCC”) in the above-captioned matter.

            Jenner Counsel was retained to represent DTCC in several cases that were ultimately

   transferred to the above-captioned MDL, including: Case No. 1:21-cv-00510 (N.D. Ill.); Case No.

   2:21-cv-00835 (C.D. Cal.); Case No. 3:21-cv-00781 (N.D. Cal.); Case No. 3:21-cv-00896 (N.D.

   Cal.); Case No. 1:21-cv-00677 (E.D.N.Y.); Case No. 4:21-cv-00292 (S.D. Tex.); Case No. 0:21-

   cv-00689 (D. Minn.); and Case No. 1:21-cv-21458 (S.D. Fla.). Starting on April 1, 2021 these

   cases were transferred to the above-captioned MDL based in the Southern District of Florida.

            MDL Plaintiffs filed complaints in the Antitrust, Robinhood, and Other Broker Tranches

   on July 27, 2021, and in the Federal Securities Tranche on November 30, 2021. None of the MDL

   complaints or subsequent amended complaints named DTCC as a defendant.

            As DTCC is no longer a party to this litigation, Jenner Counsel should be removed from

   the Court’s service list.
