Ripple has requested for extra time to come up with a response to the SEC’s redactions of the notes from meetings
Defense attorney James K. Finlan has taken to Twitter to share that Ripple’s attorneys have filed a motion in an effort to buy additional time to respond to the SEC’s proposed redactions to documents seen in court.
Ripple needs more time to respond to SEC’s redactions
Finlan has shared an electronic copy of a letter, in which the defendants on behalf of Ripple Labs, Brad Garlinghouse and Christopher Larsen request an extension of time to respond to the redactions proposed by the US Security and Exchange Commission to four sets of documents – notes from the agency’s meetings with third parties that are relevant to the case.
The purpose of the Respondents’ Response is to clarify whether they agree with these redactions. The motion to save additional time was filed with the consent of the SEC.
According to the letter addressed to Judge Sarah Netburn, the SEC legal team is bound to produce the redacted documents by the start of next week. Ripple defendants are required to produce a response on March 28.
However, Ripple’s legal team is now asking the court for an extension of time to produce a response.
On March 24, as covered by U.Today, the SEC filed a motion to the court to gain a time extension in order to make the aforementioned redactions to the notes relevant to the Ripple case.
