Three former Dewey & LeBoeuf executives are asking a federal judge in Iowa to reconsider their request to put a civil suit by Aviva Life and Annuity Company on hold until a criminal case pending against them in New York is resolved.
In its suit filed in 2012, Aviva claims that it lost 45 percent of its $35 million investment in the now-defunct firm’s 2010 bond offering “as a result of false and misleading statements” by former Dewey chairman Steven Davis, former executive director Stephen DiCarmine and former chief financial officer Joel Sanders.
