On June 2, 2006, the Court heard argument on petitioner’s petition for entry of United States judgment.

Having considered the arguments of counsel and the papers submitted, and for good cause appearing, the Court hereby GRANTS the petition. Petitioner’s request for an injunction is DENIED. See Restatement (Third) of Foreign Relations Law § 481, cmt. b (“Judgments granting injunctions, declaring rights or determining status, and judgments arising from attachments of property, are not generally entitled to enforcement, but may be entitled to recognition under this and the following sections.”).
