ADDENDUM TO
DEFENDANT STEPHANIE HOCKRIDGE’S REQUEST FOR A HEARING

The Court has permitted Ms. Hockridge to file an amended request for a hearing in

connection with the pending garnishment proceedings and denied her request to transfer those

proceedings to the District of Puerto Rico, where Ms. Hockridge established residency before this

case began. See Order (Doc. #429). Ms. Hockridge appreciates the opportunity to file an amended

Request for a Hearing in this district and has timely filed that request.1

Ms. Hockridge believes these proceedings would proceed most efficiently if the

Government, the Defendants, and the Family Trustee are able to agree on a discovery schedule to

precede any hearing. Ms. Hockridge understands that the Government has engaged with counsel

for the Family Trustee regarding a proposed schedule that would allow for necessary discovery on

the relevant issues. The Family Trustee has also requested that the Government agree to allow the

writs to be amended to allow the Family Trustee to continue to conduct and fund necessary trust

1
In so doing, Ms. Hockridge does not waive any rights she may have to contest the Court’s
decision to deny her transfer request and reserves her right to challenge that ruling on appeal.

maintenance costs and capital calls while a final ruling on the garnishment issues is pending, and

the Government is considering that request.

Finally, Ms. Hockridge notes that the Court’s Order (Doc. #429) contained several

statements concerning Mr. Reis and his compliance with the judgment imposed in his case. Ms.

Hockridge hopes to clarify through this filing that there are no allegations that she has failed to

comply with any order of this Court. Ms. Hockridge continues to abide conscientiously by all

conditions imposed on her, and she is grateful for the opportunity to continue to demonstrate her

compliance with all orders to which she is subject while this Court considers her objections, as

well as those of the Family Trustee and Mr. Reis.
