Re: Magten Asset Management Corp. and Law Debenture Trust C0. v.
North Western Corp.; C.A. No. 04-1494—JJF; and Magten Asset
Management Corp. v. Mike JE Hansen and Ernie .L 1{indt; C.A. No. 05-
0499-JJ F
Your Honor:
Today, Defendant Northwestern Corporation requested oral argument (D.l. 169 in
Case 04-1494; D.l. 203 in Case 05-499) on its Emergency Cross-Motion filed on April 16, 2007.
By this letter, Magten Asset Management Corporation hereby agrees that oral argument may be
helpful to the Court, and similarly requests it pursuant to Delaware Local Rule 7.1.4.
However, because the issues raised by NorthWestern's Emergency Cross-Motion are
interrelated with issues raised by Magten's Emergency Motion that was earlier-filed on April 13,
2007 (D.l. 139 in Case 04-1494, D.l. 175 in Case 05-499), Magten respectfully requests that any
proposed hearing address the issues raised by Magten's Emergency Motion, as well as by
NOYYDWCSTGTDIS Emergency Cross-Motion.
Magten does intend to file a reply brief to address significant developments that bear
upon this action since its opening brief was tiled. Magten's reply brief will be submitted on or
before the May 4, 2007 deadline, at which time briefing on both the Emergency Motion and the
Emergency Cross-Motion will be complete.
Counsel is available by telephone, should the Court have any questions.
Respectfully submitted,
&a.a_ gona;
