This is the update from the trustee from Feb 2, 2012
On December 19, 2011, we filed an action in the US District Court for the Southern District of Indiana (New Albany Division) to have the claims against Eastern Livestock’s USDA Bond determined. In an effort to avoid joining all 375 bond claimants as parties, particularly those whose claims are not objectionable (which constitute the majority of the claims) we only joined 4 claimants initially as a means to get the case into court. We have asked the judge for a status conference to try to work out a process to resolve the claims we do object to. The status conference will be held on March 1, 2012, and we will post an update within a few days after the status conference with the judge. If you filed a bond claim, you should have received a notice from GIPSA some months ago informing you of the approval of, or any dispute with your claim. If you have not received any notice whether your claim is allowable, you may contact Tammy Froelich of my office for more information at 317-777-7423.
It looks like there will be a hearing which is available via conference call on Feb 13
