As set forth in prior filings before this Court, the Debtor, Bravo Luck, and PAX carefully crafted the Settlement Agreement following months of hard-fought negotiations, in order to establish a framework for the sale of the Sherry Netherland Apartment, including, among other things, the appointment of the Sales Officer, a real estate broker and payment of the resulting\n\n<span id=\"page-0-0\"></span><sup>1</sup> The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation. The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and the Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).\n\n<span id=\"page-0-2\"></span><sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall be ascribed the definitions given to them in the Motion.\n\nsale proceeds into an escrow account, not to be released unless and until notice of any distribution was provided with an opportunity for objection and entry of a court order. The Settlement Agreement **does not** provide a framework for renting the Sherry Netherland Apartment and is strictly limited to an agreed-upon sales process. Further, the Settlement Agreement provides that it may only be modified or amended by written agreement of Genever (US), Bravo Luck, and PAX.\n\n2. By the Motion, the Movants again seek to upend the deal struck in the Settlement Agreement, which was approved by the final and binding Settlement Order and which explicitly and solely approves the disposition of the Sherry Netherland Apartment through a **sale process**. The Movants cannot unilaterally alter the Settlement Agreement to allow for a marketing process for renting the Sherry Netherland Apartment without Bravo Luck's consent. The proposed marketing process for renting and, indeed, renting the Sherry Netherland Apartment does not satisfy Bravo Luck's purpose for entering into the Settlement Agreement, which was motivated by its asserted ownership interest in the Sherry Netherland Apartment and, thus, the marketing process for, and protection of the resulting proceeds arising from, any **sale** or disposition of the property until such ownership issues are resolved. Nor are Bravo Luck's \"preserved\" rights to object to any future rental agreement for the Sherry Netherland Apartment a substitute for the entire *raison d'etre* of the heavily negotiated, Court-approved Settlement Agreement—the **sale** of the Sherry Netherland Apartment.\n\n3. The Movants make much of the \"narrow\" relief sought by the Motion, *i.e.,* that they are simply seeking authorization to *market* the Sherry Netherland Apartment for rent. But at best, this is an attempt to overcome the Settlement Agreement in piecemeal fashion, as the ultimate result of the marketing process sought by the Motion has at its end an impermissible disposition of the Sherry Netherland Apartment not contemplated or approved by the Settlement\n\n-2-\n\nOrder—renting, rather than a sale. At worst, this is a diversion of estate resources and the time and attention of the Sales Officer and Sotheby's from consummating the only agreed-upon process for liquidating the value of the Sherry Netherland Apartment—the sale process bargained for in the Settlement Agreement.\n\n4. The Movants' only justification for seeking to fundamentally alter the Settlement Agreement is that the prospect of finding a renter is, in the Movants' view, urgent, necessary, and in the best interest of the estates. Yet it is not a given that renting the Sherry Netherland Apartment will maximize the value of the property. In addition to diverting resources and the attention of the Sales Officer and Sotheby's away from the agreed-upon sales process, renting the Sherry Netherland Apartment could make the property less desirable for a potential buyer or delay its ultimate sale. A renter occupying the Sherry Netherland Apartment would undoubtedly diminish the flexibility for showing the property to a would-be purchaser and restrict the timeframe for when a potential buyer could begin to occupy the property following a sale. This loss of flexibility could well make the sale marketing process more difficult and could chill interest from buyers wishing to occupy the Sherry Netherland Apartment as soon as possible. Further, there is risk that potential renters would not leave the Sherry Netherland Apartment in optimal condition for showcasing the property to interested parties, further hampering the sale process.[3](#page-2-0)\n\n<span id=\"page-2-1\"></span>5. Further, even assuming *arguendo,* that the marketing process is beneficial to the estates, this does not justify the Movants' disregard for the final and binding Settlement Order. Indeed, the Movants are impermissibly attempting to circumvent the correct procedure for\n\n<span id=\"page-2-0\"></span><sup>3</sup> Given the Movants' apparent concern that there will be insufficient funds to cover the monthly maintenance charges and assessments of the Sherry Netherland Apartment—a concern echoed in the Trustee's complaint [Adv. Pro. No. 23-05002, Docket No. 1] and brief in support of summary judgment [Adv. Pro. No. 23-05002, Docket No. 3] filed in the adversary proceeding recently initiated against certain members of the Debtor's family—should the Court be inclined to grant the Motion, Bravo Luck asks that all proceeds generated through renting the Sherry Netherland Apartment be placed in escrow and used **exclusively** to pay such monthly maintenance charges and assessments.\n\nseeking relief from a final order, as required under Rule 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure\n\n(the \"Civil Rules\") as incorporated into Rule 9024 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure\n\n(the \"Bankruptcy Rules\"). Civil Rule 60 provides:\n\n(b) Grounds for Relief from a Final Judgment, Order, or Proceeding. On motion and just terms, the court may relieve a party or its legal representative from a final judgment, order, or proceeding for the following reasons:\n\n> (1) mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect; (2) newly discovered evidence that, with reasonable diligence, could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial under Rule 59(b); (3) fraud (whether previously called intrinsic or extrinsic), misrepresentation, or misconduct by an opposing party; (4) the judgment is void;\n\n> (5) the judgment has been satisfied, released, or discharged; it is based on an earlier judgment that has been reversed or vacated; or applying it prospectively is no longer equitable; or\n\n(6) any other reason that justifies relief.\n\nFED. R. CIV. P. 60.\n\n6. The Movants do not—and cannot—make an argument that any of the factors enumerated in Civil Rule 60 apply such that relief from the Settlement Order ought to be granted. Moreover, a motion for relief from a final order \"must be made within a reasonable time—and for reasons (1), (2), and (3) no more than a year after the entry of the judgment or order or the date of the proceeding.\" FED. R. CIV. P. 60(c)(1). The Settlement Order was entered on October 8, 2021—well over a year ago. Thus, even if the Movants had properly asserted grounds to fully upend the process approved in the final Settlement Order (which they have not and cannot do), such request was brought outside of a reasonable time and should be denied.\n\n7. Finally, as this Court is aware, the Sherry Netherland Apartment and ownership of the Genever entities remains the subject of three separate adversary proceedings filed by the Trustee related to the 2015 trust agreement. As has been held consistently within the Second Circuit, section 541(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code specifically excludes from property of the estate any property held by a debtor in trust for another. *See, e.g., In re Howard's Appliance Corp.*, 874 F.2d 88, 93 (2d Cir. 1989) (\"Property in which the debtor holds only legal title and not an equitable interest, however, becomes property of the estate only to the extent of a debtor's legal title to such property, but not to the extent of any equitable interest in such property that the debtor does not hold . . . That is, the bankruptcy estate does not include 'property of others in which the debtor ha[s] some minor interest such as a lien or bare legal title,'\" (quoting *United States v. Whiting Pools, Inc.*, 462 U.S. 198, 204 n. 8 (1983)) (internal citation omitted); *Marwin Prod. Sys., Ltd. v. Pratt & Whitney Co.*, 140 B.R. 327, 331 (Bankr. D. Conn. 1992) (\". . . Bankruptcy Code § 541(b)(1) excludes from the bankruptcy estate property of others held by the debtor in trust at the time of the filing of the petition.\"); *see also Dally v. Bank One, Chicago N.A. (In re Dally),* 202 B.R. 724, 727 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1996) (holding the same). Until a final determination is rendered with respect to these adversary proceedings, there is no authority under the Bankruptcy Code to allow a change or disposition of the Sherry Netherland Apartment without Bravo Luck's consent.\n\n#### **CONCLUSION**\n\nWHEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above, Bravo Luck respectfully requests that the Court deny the Motion.\n\nDated: February 21, 2023\n\n*/s/ Francis J.

Despins（仅用于通知与联络目的）。\n\n2 本文中使用但未予定义的首字母大写术语，应具有本动议中赋予它们的定义。\n\n销售收益存入托管账户，除非并直至发出任何分配通知、给予提出异议的机会并由法院作出裁定，否则不得予以释放。《和解协议》并未提供出租雪莉荷兰公寓的框架，且严格限于商定的销售流程。此外，《和解协议》规定，仅在 Genever (US)、Bravo Luck 和 PAX 达成书面协议的情况下，方可对其进行变更或修改。\n\n2. 动议人通过本动议，企图再次推翻《和解协议》中达成的交易，该协议已由具有终局性和约束力的《和解裁定》所批准，且该裁定明确且唯一批准了通过销售流程处置雪莉荷兰公寓。未经 Bravo Luck 同意，动议人不得单方面修改《和解协议》以允许开展出租雪莉荷兰公寓的推销流程。拟议的出租推销流程，以及出租雪莉荷兰公寓本身，均无法满足 Bravo Luck 达成《和解协议》的目的，该目的源于其对雪莉荷兰公寓所主张的所有权权益，并因此源于对处置或出售该财产所产生收益的推销流程与保护，直至该等所有权争议得到解决。Bravo Luck 对雪莉荷兰公寓未来任何租赁协议“保留”的异议权利，也无法替代经艰苦谈判并获法院批准的《和解协议》的全部存在意义——即出售雪莉荷兰公寓。\n\n3. 动议人极力强调本动议所寻求的救济是“有限的”，即他们仅仅是在寻求出租推销雪莉荷兰公寓的授权。但这充其量是以零敲碎打的方式规避《和解协议》的企图，因为本动议所寻求的推销流程的最终结果，是在终点对雪莉荷兰公寓进行未经《和解\n\n-2-\n\n裁定》预期或批准的不可容许的处置——出租而非出售。最坏的情况是，这是在挪用破产财产资源，并分散销售专员和苏富比完成变现雪莉荷兰公寓价值的唯一商定流程（即《和解协议》中议定的销售流程）的时间和注意力。\n\n4. 动议人寻求从根本上修改《和解协议》的唯一理由是，在动议人看来，寻找承租人的前景具有紧迫性、必要性，且符合破产财产的最佳利益。然而，出租雪莉荷兰公寓能否使财产价值最大化并非定论。除了分散资源以及销售专员和苏富比对商定销售流程的注意力之外，出租雪莉荷兰公寓还可能降低该财产对潜在买家的吸引力，或推迟其最终出售。承租人入住雪莉荷兰公寓无疑会降低向潜在买家看房的灵活性，并限制潜在买家在购买后开始入住该财产的时间范围。这种灵活性的丧失很可能会使销售推销流程更加困难，并可能打击希望尽快入住雪莉荷兰公寓的买家的兴趣。此外，还存在潜在承租人可能无法使雪莉荷兰公寓保持在向意向方展示的最佳状态的风险，从而进一步阻碍销售流程。[3]\n\n5. 此外，退一步讲，即使假定推销流程有利于破产财产，这也无法证明动议人对具有终局性和约束力的《和解裁定》的漠视是正当的。事实上，动议人正在不可容许地试图规避针对终局裁定寻求救济的正当程序，该程序由《联邦民事诉讼规则》（“《民事规则》”）第 60 条规定，并被纳入《联邦破产诉讼规则》（“《破产规则》”）第 9024 条。《民事规则》第 60 条规定：\n\n3 鉴于动议人显然担心资金不足以支付雪莉荷兰公寓的每月物业维护费及公摊费用——受托人在最近针对债务人某些家族成员提起的对抗性诉讼中提交的起诉书 [对抗性诉讼案号：23-05002，待决案件卷宗第 1 号] 和支持即决判决的辩护状 [对抗性诉讼案号：23-05002，待决案件卷宗第 3 号] 中也表达了这一担忧——如果法院倾向于准许本动议，Bravo Luck 请求将通过出租雪莉荷兰公寓产生的所有收益存入托管账户，并专门用于支付该等每月物业维护费及公摊费用。\n\n(b) 针对终局判决、裁定或诉讼程序寻求救济的理由。根据动议并在公正的条件下，法院可因以下原因免除当事人或其法定代表人的终局判决、裁定或诉讼程序责任：\n\n(1) 错误、疏忽、意外或可原谅的过失；(2) 经合理勤勉仍无法及时发现以根据第 59(b) 条提请重新审理的新证据；(3) 对方当事人的欺诈（无论先前称为内在欺诈还是外在欺诈）、虚假陈述或不当行为；(4) 判决无效；\n\n(5) 判决已得到清偿、免除或解除；其依据的在先判决已被推翻或撤销；或者对其进行前瞻性适用不再公平；或\n\n(6) 证明救济正当的任何其他原因。\n\nFED. R. CIV. P. 60.\n\n6. 动议人并未——也无法——主张《民事规则》第 60 条列举的任何因素适用，从而应准予免除《和解裁定》。此外，针对终局裁定寻求救济的动议“必须在合理时间内提出——且对于理由 (1)、(2) 和 (3)，不得晚于判决或裁定作出之日或诉讼程序之日起一年内提出”。FED. R. CIV. P. 60(c)(1)。《和解裁定》于 2021年10月8日 作出——距今已远远超过一年。因此，即使动议人适当地主张了彻底推翻终局《和解裁定》所批准流程的理由（他们并未且无法做到这一点），该请求也是在合理时间之外提出的，应予驳回。\n\n7. 最后，正如本法院所知，雪莉荷兰公寓及 Genever 各实体的主权仍是受托人就 2015 年信托协议提起的三个独立对抗性诉讼的标的。正如 Second Circuit（第二巡回法院）所一贯判定的那样，《破产法典》第 541(b)(1) 条明确将债务人为他人以信托方式持有的任何财产排除在破产财产之外。参见，例如，In re Howard's Appliance Corp., 874 F.2d 88, 93 (2d Cir. 1989)（“然而，债务人仅持有普通法所有权而非衡平法权益的财产，仅在债务人对该财产拥有普通法所有权的范围内成为破产财产，但在债务人不享有的对该财产的任何衡平法权益的范围内则不属于破产财产……也就是说，破产财产不包括‘债务人拥有某些次要权益（如留置权或仅有普通法所有权）的他人物业’”（援引 United States v. Whiting Pools, Inc., 462 U.S. 198, 204 n. 8 (1983)）（内部引文省略）；Marwin Prod. Sys., Ltd. v. Pratt & Whitney Co., 140 B.R. 327, 331 (Bankr. D.
