Pending before the Court is the Monitor's Motion for Authorization to Engage Contingency Counsel, (ECF No. 1197).

The Monitor was appointed on November 30, 2016 (ECF No. 1099) and Section VIII(M) of that Order authorized the Monitor to "[c]hoose, engage, and employ such additional attorneys, accountants, appraisers, investigators, employees, and other independent contractors and technical specialists, as the Monitor deems advisable or necessary in the performance of duties and responsibilities under the authority granted by this Order pursuant to the procedures and limitations set forth in LR 66-6 and LR 66-7[.]"
