Discussions center on procedural filings and the classification of victims and property. Participants dispute whether filings under 853n, 853i, 361, 364, and 785 constitute enforceable orders, whether consolidated actions share order numbers, and if CVRA, MVRA, or CIPA remedies can be reactivated in the Second Circuit.
