No. 1274) (the \"Motion to Remove\") from March 23, 2023, to a date on or after April 13, 2023, at the Court's convenience. The Individual Debtor states that good cause exists to grant the requested continuance based on the following:\n\n1. On the morning of March 15, 2023, a twelve-count indictment was unsealed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York charging the Individual Debtor with various federal crimes. The Individual Debtor was arrested by federal law enforcement authorities on March 15, 2023.\n\n2. The Individual Debtor and his counsel require a continuance of the Motion to Remove in order to have an opportunity to discuss the Motion to Remove in preparation for a hearing on the same. At this point in time, the Individual Debtor's counsel does not know when they will be able to communicate with the Debtor regarding the Motion to Remove.\n\n3. In addition, Individual Debtor's counsel that need to be present at the hearing, Eric Henzy and Stephen Kindseth, are unavailable on March 23, 2023, as they have a previously scheduled all-day mediation in the Norwich Diocese Chapter 11 case on the same day.\n\n1\n\n4. This is the Individual Debtor's first request for a continuance in this matter.\n\nWHEREFORE, the Individual Debtor respectfully requests that the Court enter an order continuing the hearing on the Motion to Remove from March 23, 2023, to a date on or after April 13, 2023, at the Court's convenience.\n\nDated at Bridgeport, Connecticut this 17 th day of March 2023.\n\n# THE DEFENDANT, HO WAN KWOK\n\nBy:*/s/ John L.

No. 1274）（以下简称“撤换动议”）的听证会从 2023年3月23日 延期至 2023年4月13日 或该日之后在法院方便的日期举行。基于以下理由，个人债务人陈述准予所请求之延期存在充分正当理由：\n\n1. 2023年3月15日 上午，一份包含十二项罪名项的起诉书在 United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）解封，指控个人债务人犯有多项联邦罪行。个人债务人于 2023年3月15日 被联邦执法机关逮捕。\n\n2. 个人债务人及其代理律师需要延期审理撤换动议，以便有机会就撤换动议进行沟通讨论，为该动议的听证会做准备。目前，个人债务人的代理律师尚不知道何时能就撤换动议与债务人取得沟通。\n\n3. 此外，需要出席听证会的个人债务人代理律师 Eric Henzy（埃里克·亨齐）与 Stephen Kindseth（斯蒂芬·金德塞斯）在 2023年3月23日 无法出席，因为他们同日此前已在 Norwich Diocese（诺威奇教区）第11章案件中安排了全天调解。\n4. 这是个人债务人就此事项首次提出延期请求。\n\n据此，个人债务人谨请求法院作出命令，将关于撤换动议的听证会从 2023年3月23日 延期至 2023年4月13日 或该日之后在法院方便的日期举行。\n\n签署于 Connecticut（康涅狄格州）Bridgeport（布里奇波特），2023年3月17日。\n被告，HO WAN KWOK（郭文贵）\n\n签署人：/s/ John L.
