LARRY R. HICKS, District Judge.
Before the court is Defendants' Receiver's Application for Approval of Agreement between Receiver and Washington College of Law (#114
On December 27, 2011, the court approved a Stipulated Final Judgment and Order for Permanent Injunction ("Final Order") in this case (#108). The Final Order appointed Defendants' Receiver, Aviva Y. Gordon, and charged the Receiver with returning documents to Defendants' former customers. In part, the Final Order provided that "[w]ith Court approval, the Receiver may retain other professionals to perform" tasks relating to the Receiver's duties. (Final Order #108, p. 9:21-22.)
The Receiver now asks the court's approval to retain Washington College of Law to (1) identify and contact Defendants' former customers, (2) return to each customer their original documents as defined in the Final Order, (3) protect the customers' privacy interests with respect to these documents, and (4) shred any unreturned document. (See Motion for Approval #108, Ex. 1, p. 1.) The proposed agreement between the Receiver and Washington College of Law also provides that, "[b]udget and time permitting," the College of Law may place customers who request legal assistance with the College's Immigrant Justice Clinic or other appropriate pro bono representation. (Id.)
In its non-opposition, the FTC finds that the proposed agreement conforms to the requirements of the Final Order. Having conducted a review of the agreement, the court agrees that the proposed agreement is appropriately related to the Receiver's obligation to "identify and contact each [of Defendants'] customer[s] and, to the extent feasible, to return original documents." (Final Order #108, p. 9:6-7.)
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Receiver's Application for Approval of Agreement between Receiver and Washington College of Law (#114) is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
