Magistrate Judge Faruqui on Wednesday signed a minute order in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against Binance, Binance.US, and CEO “CZ”. The move comes as Binance and its subsidiary Binance.US filed a joint motion with the SEC for a protective order and opposition to the SEC’s motion to compel a discovery request.
Judge Announces Order in Binance Vs SEC Lawsuit
According to a court filing on September 13, Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui has issued a minute order in the U.S. SEC v. Binance lawsuit. He scheduled the next hearing on Monday, September 18.
Magistrate Judge Faruqui will hear the arguments of defendants on the motion for a protective order by BAM Management US Holdings and BAM Trading Services (Binance.US). Also, the arguments made by the SEC regarding opposition to protective order and motion to file documents under seal.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered Magistrate Judge Faruqui to mediate the dispute between BinanceUS and SEC regarding matters mentioned in the protective order. BinanceUS claims the SEC is exceeding the agreed-upon consent order, requests the court for an order to preclude depositions of BinanceUS’ CEO and CFO, and rejects the SEC’s demands that have nothing to do with the case.
On Monday, Binance Holdings and Binance.US along with the SEC filed a joint motion for a protective order concerning confidential details in the litigation. Binance.US also filed an opposition to the U.S. SEC regarding a motion to compel and for other relief.
