The document is a memorandum and order from the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, regarding a petition filed by 200,000 victims of Steven Hoffenberg's fraud scheme. The petition, represented by Alan P. Fraade, Esq. of Mintz & Fraade, P.C., seeks an order directing the U.S. Probation Office to refrain from obstructing Hoffenberg's efforts to collect and pay restitution. The court questions the professional responsibilities of the counsel representing both the victims and Hoffenberg, and finds the petition frivolous, failing to state a claim under the Crime Victims' Rights Act. The court orders petitioners and their counsel to show cause why the action should not be dismissed and sanctions imposed.
