Koehler v. Bank of Bermuda Ltd., No. 05-2378

In a proceeding to enforce a default judgment, denial of petitioner's motion seeking an order and requiring respondent to deliver to petitioner certain stock certificates is vacated where a court sitting in New York may order a bank over which it has personal jurisdiction to deliver stock certificates owned by a judgment debtor (or cash equal to their value) to a judgment creditor, pursuant to N.Y. C.P.L.R. Article 52, when those stock certificates are located outside New York.
