Steven R. Donziger
Steven R. Donziger (born in 1961) is an American lawyer, a former public defender who came to prominence for representing the plaintiffs (thousands of Amazon peasants and tribespeople ) in the Lago Agrio oil field case against the former well operator Texaco, now part of Chevron Corporation. On February 14, 2011, a local court in Ecuador ordered Chevron Corporation to pay $18.1 billion but was later reduced to $9.5 billion by the Ecuador Supreme Court.
Following the judgment, Chevron claimed that it had been procured by fraud and brought a RICO claim against Donziger in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (S.D.N.Y.). Judge Lewis Kaplan issued an opinion on 4 March 2014, accepting Chevron's allegations. The court found that Donziger corrupted the Ecuadorian case by submitting fraudulent evidence, coercing the judge, paying off a supposedly impartial expert, paying a Colorado consulting firm to write the expert's report, falsely presenting the report as the expert's own work, bribing the judge to give a ruling against Chevron and then trying to mislead the US courts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chevron - Error )〕 A previous ruling by Judge Kaplan to enjoin collection of the judgment was reversed in 2011 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which concluded that the New York state statute on which Kaplan's ruling was based was inapplicable. Judge Kaplan's latest ruling, which is based on the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act is on appeal to the Second Circuit as of May 2015.
