Gilligan, Special Litigation Counsel in the Civil Division, Federal Programs Branch of the U.S. Department of Justice, writes to Brad Shafer, Matt Hoffer and Zachary Youngsma. The email states that SBA has decided to process loan-forgiveness requests of plaintiffs that obtained first-draw PPP loans under preliminary injunctions, without regard to their ineligibility under 13 C.F.R. § 120.110(p). It says the requests will otherwise be processed like other loan-forgiveness applicants', which may result in approval or denial, in whole or in part. It says the client has asked for the names, EINs and first-draw PPP loan number of each Diamond Club plaintiff.
