LONDON BP PLC confirmed Wednesday that it received a demand from U.S. authorities for advance notice of any asset sales or significant cash
transfers.
The Financial Times reported that U.S. Assistant Attorney General Tony West, who heads the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice,
wrote to Rupert Bondy, BP's general counsel, on June 23. Normally the U.S. Justice Department does not require advance notice of such deals.
"We have received the letter, and have not yet responded," said BP press officer Sheila Williams. "We will be responding in due course."
She declined to say whether the Justice Department had set a deadline.
The letter underlines the U.S. government's intense scrutiny of BP as it struggles to cap the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, which began on April 20,
and to clean up the damage.
On April 30, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced that he had dispatched a team, which included West, to New Orleans to monitor the
spill. Ignacia S. Moreno, the assistant attorney general for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, was also part of the team.
Under intense pressure from President Barack Obama's administration, BP agreed last month to suspend dividend payments for the rest year and
to set up a $20 billion escrow fund to insure that the company pays for the damage.
On June 1, Holder announced that the Department of Justice had launched criminal and civil investigations of the disaster, which began w ith an
explosion and fire aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform. Eleven workers died.

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
NOW COMES the United States of America, on behalf of its
officers, Chief Judge Joel Dubina and Circuit Judges Gerald
Tjoflat and Stanley Birch of the United States Court of Appeals
for the Eleventh Circuit; District Judges Richard Lazzara, John
Steele and Magistrate Judge Sheri Chappell of the United States
District Court for the Middle District of Florida; and Deputy
United States Marshal Richard Jessup (collectively, federal
defendants); and moves for an extension of time in which to
answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs complaint. In support
of this motion, the United States shows unto the Court as
follows:
Case 2:10-cv-00089-CEH-TGW Document 28 Filed 06/30/10 Page 1 of 4
8/9/2019 Def. Tony West, Assistant Attorney General, Civil Division, Doc. ## 28, 27, 25

1. On February 9, 2010, Plaintiffs filed a complaint
naming the above-referenced federal defendants, and others, as
defendants in their individual private and official capacities.
2. The docket sheet indicates that service of process was
effected upon Judge Steele on May 1 [DE-12] and upon Judge
Chappell on May 4 [DE-13], with corresponding answer deadlines of
June 30 and July 3, 2010, respectively. Fed. R. Civ. P.
12(a)(2)&(3). There is no indication that any other federal
defendant has yet been served, and therefore the undersigned is
unable to ascertain their answer deadlines at this time.
3. A suit against a federal officer in his or her official
capacity is in effect a suit against the United States. See
Swank, Inc. v. Carnes, 856 F.2d 1481, 1483 (11th Cir. 1988). It
is the position of the United States that Plaintiffs complaint
should be construed as an official capacity suit against the
United States and not the individual federal defendants.
4. The undersigned Special Attorney is entering a general
notice of appearance on behalf of the United States and timely
filing a motion to dismiss the complaint contemporaneous with the
filing of this motion.
5. The United States respectfully suggests to the Court
that the same defenses it asserts in its motion to dismiss the
official capacity suit would apply with equal force if the
federal defendants were sued in their individual capacities;
2

6/66
however, if the Court were to construe this as an individual
capacity suit and were to require them to answer, then the
federal defendants require additional time to seek and obtain
authorization for the undersigned to represent them in their
individual capacities. See generally 28 C.F.R. 50.15.
6. Accordingly, the undersigned makes a limited appearance
on behalf of the individually-named federal defendants solely for
purposes of seeking this extension of time so as to avoid the
possibility of entry of default against them should the Court
construe this as an individual capacity suit and not summarily
dismiss such individual capacity claims as frivolous.
7. Local Rule 3.01(g) requires that the moving party
shall confer with counsel for the opposing party in a good faith
effort to resolve the issues raised by the motion. Insomuch as
Plaintiffs are proceeding pro se, Local Rule 3.01(g) is
inapplicable.
WHEREFORE, the individual federal defendants request an
extension of time, up to and including thirty (30) days from such
future date as the Court might require them to answer an
individual capacity suit, in which to answer or otherwise respond
to Plaintiffs complaint.

Fort Myers, FL 33907 "
Dear Troy:
You have asked me about the ownership of the accretion to thearea between Lots 2 and 3, Block 14, Second Revised Plat of Cayo
Costa Subdivision and the Gulf of Mexico.
The Plat of this subdivision does not have any dedication of easements for any purpose. It divides the property into numberedblocks with spaces between, which are obviously intended" to beroads. It does, however, have the following wording:
IINOTE
All streets 60' wide
All alleys 20' wideAll lots shown in uniformly square
Blocks 50' x 130' other lots scale measure.1I
The area between the Blocks and the Gulf of Mexico has no
designation, but it is part of the street since all streets leadto it and there is no line indicating the end of the streets.
Our Supreme Court has repeatedly held that when a lot on asubdivision pl'at borders on a street each lot owner owns to thecenter of the street, and, when the street is on the border of thesubdivider's property title of the,lot owner extends to the out~rlimits of the street. .
In the case of Caples v. Taliaferro, 197 So. 861 the SupremeCourt said:
IIThere are also authorities holding that when astreet or highway is laid out wholly on the marginof a grantor' s land, a conveyance of the landsabutting such street or highway carried the fee tothe entire widt h of such street or highway unlessu - - - --- - ..:J"

"The more specific question here involved is this:Where a street, way or walk way is laid out whollyon the margin of the grantor's lands, said street,way or walk way being bordered by navigable water,does a conveyance of land abutting on such street,way or walk way, as designated on the plat, carrythe fee to the"width of such street, way orwalkway, together with all riparian rights incidentthereto, unless expressly reserved?
While there is some conflict in the decisions on
this quest, we have reached the conclusion that the
answer should be in the affirmative."
There now appears to be considerable accretion to this streebordering these lots. Since ti tIe to the land under the streebelongs to you the accretion belongs to you. In the case Mexi co Bea ch Cor pora tion v. st. Joe pa per Cor pora tion, 97 So 708, the Court said:
"The common-law rule which vests title to soil
formed along navigable waters by accretion orreliction in owners of abutting land is in force in
Florida."
I have assumed that you did not install groins or othedevices that caused this accretion. In the case of Board Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund v. Sand KAssociates, Ltd., 512 So.2d 934, our Supreme Court said:
"Waterfront owner who did not participate inconstruction of improvement which, together wi thnatural causes, caused accretion, had vested rightto new lands formed as a result of accretion,
notwithstanding fact that accretions or relictiohsoccurred in part because of artificialimprovements.

Re: Second Revised Plat of Cayo Costa Subdivision
Dear Mr. Parnell:
In response to your correspondence to Mr. Yaeger, the Lee County Attorney'sOffice researched the history of the second revised plat of the Cayo Costa Subdivisionand governing case law on accretion and reliction. Based on this research, we concludethat the public may have a valid claim to the accreted lands on the Gulf side of the CayoCosta Subdivision. Moreover, it is the Board's policy to retain public lands for publicpurposes rather than relinquishthose intereststo private entities. It would be acceptablefor the County to relinquish its interests in this property if the intent is to transfer theproperty in question to the State as part of the CARL Program. Your letter indicates thatthe' Board of Trustees of the Internal ImprovementTrust Fundof the State of Florida hasoffered to purchase the property, but claims that the resolution recorded in the public
records and reflected in the County Commission Minute Books calls into question yourclient's ability to convey fee simple title to the accreted lands. This office wouldrecommend that the Board of County Commissioners release the public's interest in theaccreted land on the condition that the County deed is held in escrow until the closingwith the State. At that time, the deed would be released and available for recordation inthe public records.
If your client is interested in pursuing this course of action, please contact me atyour earliest convenience so that we may discuss the details of this transaction.

RE: Cayo Costa Project, Lee County0.30 Acres
Dear Property Owners:
As agent for the Department of Environmental Protection of the State of Florida, I ,ould like to extencash offer in the amount of $222,000.00, to purchase the above referenced property located in County, Florida. The State of Florida is offering to purchase this property due to its location withiarea that qualifies for State acquisition as part of the State's Florida Forever Program. The DivisioState lands will be the agent for this transaction.
Over the past several years, the State has diligently worked on acquiring property within the Cayo CProject. The state has had the properties appraised numerous times and has made several offeproperty owners. Recent purchases within the last year have caused the Division of State Land
reevaluate its priorities. I was recently informed that the funds and time allocated for this project now limited.
Prior to extending an offer to purchase property, Florida law requires an appraisal to be completed b
independent real estate appraiser. The appraiser is asked to give the market value of the property.
appraisal is confidential, by law, until a contract is signed by the Seller and approved by the DivisioState lands. Your offer was formulated based on such an appraisal.
Please notify me within 60 days of receipt of this offer and I will prepare, for your review,Agreement to purchase your property. It is important for you to know that this is a voluntprogram, and you are under no obligation to sell your property or participate in this program.
Many times owners prefer to donate their property and, in some cases, tax benefits may be realized fa donation. . An accountant, tax professional, or the Internal Revenue Service can provide you additional information. Please let us know if you are interested in donating the property for environme
purposes.
If I may provide additional information or assistance, please do not hesitate to call me at the numbelow. I hope to hear from you soon.

Re: Gulf front lot on Cayo Casta
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Roesch:
My father, Troy Parnell and the estate of William Reynolds own the northern most gulfront lots (lots 1A & 2A). On December 10, 1969 the Lee County Commission voted tdeed itself an area of accretion to the west of certain gulf front lots. The effect of this
makes what was once gulf front lots no longer gulf front. They had no right to do this.We have done much research on this matter. There have been recent rulings by the cou
to support our position that the area of accretion belongs to the gulf front owners. I havhad discussions with attorneys in Miami and Sarasota that specialize in this matter andthey have suggested our case is so strong that we hire a local attorney here in town.
My father is prepared to move ahead with a law suit. Through our correspondence witthe county and discussions with attorneys we believe the county, state or DEP will notcan not do anything until they are sued. However, we will not go ahead without the
support of all the effected lot owners who will benefit from this. I have identified sevelot owners who will benefit from this and included the lots on the enclosed plat.
The estimated cost to file the suit is $15,000. Each owner will most likely have to surv
their lots including the accretion area at a cost of $7,500.each. Even though our case isextremely strong and supported by recent precedence we should be prepared to go to trat an estimated cost of an additional $25,000. This would be a total of approximately$13,215.00 for each lot owner.
The average depth ofthe accretion is about 1,400 feet. Most of the single lots are 50 fewide. That would be about 70,000 square feet more property for each 50 foot lot.Considering the state has offered as much as $18.00 per square foot for gulf front lots,reward for filing the law suit is impressive and the risk appears to be very low.
I am asking that each owner please contact me by telephone and let me know how youfeel about this issue so I can see what kind of consensus we have
