Earlier this month, District of Delaware Judge Gregory B. Williams denied a motion from BMW to intervene in a case filed by Arigna Technology Limited, a plaintiff operating under the umbrella of Dublin-based monetization firm Atlantic IP Services Limited, against Longford Capital Fund III, LP (“LCF”), an entity controlled by Chicago-based litigation finance firm Longford Capital. The court did so without prejudice, pointing to its decision the day before to stay the case to allow an arbitrator to decide whether Arigna’s claims against Longford should be subjected to arbitration. Meanwhile, District of DC Judge Rudolph Contreras has granted Susman Godfrey L.L.P.’s motion to withdraw from its representation of Arigna in a declaratory judgment action filed by BMW against it there.
