SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 20 –  Jeremy Levin, for terrorism by Hezbollah attributable to Iran, sued Bank of New York, JP Morgan, Citibank, Societe Generale and others, back in 2009.   

Now the governments wants to interview, and Societe Generale wants a protective order.   

 On January 20, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.   

 Reference was made to a FOIA request to OFAC, and other sanctions regimes were discussed.

Judge Lehrburger granted the Government limited intervention and denied SocGen a protective order, without prejudice to the bank renewing the application.

The case is RWL Levin et al v. Bank of New York et al., 09-cv-5900 (Oetken / Lehrburger)
