Jelnek v. Islamic Republic of Iran , No. 1:24-cv-05520 (GBD)(SN) – MDL ECF No. 10826 4 Christopher Cuomo’s claim is denied without prejudice because Cuomo is not the correct Personal Representative for Vanessa Lang Langer. The Public Administrator of Westchester County is the listed Personal Representative for Langer. ( See ECF No. 10486.) Plaintiffs may refile.

ORDERED that the Plaintiffs identified in Exhibit B are awarded pain and suffering 5 and it is damages as set forth therein; 4F ORDERED

that the Plaintiffs identified in Exhibit C are awarded solatium

damages as set forth therein; and it is ORDERED that Plaintiffs receiving economic damages identified in Exhibit A are awarded prejudgment interest of 4.96 percent per annum, compounded annually, running from the date as indicated in the “Date of Report” column in Exhibit A until the date of judgment; and it is further

ORDERED that Plaintiffs identified in Exhibits B and C are awarded prejudgment interest of 4.96 percent per annum, compounded annually, running from September 11, 2001 until the date of judgment; and it is

ORDERED that the Plaintiffs identified in Exhibits A, B, and C may submit future applications for punitive or other damages at a later date consistent with any future rulings of this Court; and it is Hillary Hans’ and Leslie Reuben’s claims are denied without prejudice because only Hillary Hans is properly listed in the complaint as Ronald J. Ruben’s Personal Representative. Plaintiffs may submit a motion at a later time to properly list Leslie Ruben as a Personal Representative as well. Theresa Russo-Kempf’s claim is denied without prejudice. Plaintiffs provide a citation to a motion to substitute which shows that Russo-Kempf was substituted as the Personal Representative for the Estate of Edward Rowenhorst, not the Estate of Michael Russo. Therefore, Theresa Russo-Kempf is not the proper Personal Representative for the Estate of Michael Russo. Plaintiffs may refile. Ayleen Arroyo’s claim is denied without prejudice. The proposed order lists both Ayleen Arroyo and George Santiago as the co-Personal Representatives of the Estate of Ayleen J. Santiago. While the cited motion to substitute properly lists Ayleen Arroyo, the cited amendment improperly lists Ayleen Arroyo and George J. Santiago as co-Personal Representatives of the Estate of George Santiago. Plaintiffs can refile with Ayleen Arroyo alone as the Personal Representative, or refile the amendment to include both Ayleen Arroyo and George J. Santiago as co-Personal Representatives of the Estate of Ayleen J. Santiago. 5 Christopher Cuomo’s claim is denied without prejudice because Cuomo is not the correct Personal Representative for Vanessa Lang Langer. The Public Administrator of Westchester County is the listed Personal Representative for Langer. ( See ECF No. 10486.) Plaintiffs may refile.

ORDERED that the Plaintiffs not appearing in Exhibits A, B, or C may submit in later stages applications for damages awards to the extent they have not done so already. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter partial final default judgment for the Plaintiffs listed in Exhibits A, B, and C.
