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<sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Motion to Expedite have the meanings set forth in the 9019 Motion.\n\n*Agreement with Clark Hill PLC* [Docket No. 1727] (the \"Motion to Seal\" and, together with the 9019 Motion, the \"Motions\"). In support of the Motion to Expedite, the Trustee respectfully represents as follows:\n\n#### **JURISDICTION, VENUE, AND STATUTORY BASIS**\n\n1. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Court\") has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. This is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b).\n\n2. Venue in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n3. The basis for the relief sought by this Motion to Expedite is Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c)(1).\n\n#### **BACKGROUND**\n\n4. On September 19, 2019, the Debtor filed a complaint (the \"Complaint\") against his former counsel Clark Hill PLC (\"Clark Hill\") and Thomas K. Ragland, a Member of Clark Hill (together with Clark Hill, the \"Defendants\") in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia alleging malpractice and seeking damages arising from a cyber incident involving Clark Hill's computer server resulting in the alleged public dissemination of the Debtor's asylum application information on the internet (the \"Action\"). On October 24, 2019, the Action was removed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (the \"District Court\").\n\n5. On February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), the Debtor filed with the Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\"), which relief includes the automatic stay of all judicial proceedings against the Debtor, *see*  Bankruptcy Code 362(a)(1), including the Action.\n\n2\n\n6. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the \"Committee\") in the Debtor's Chapter 11 Case.\n\n7. On July 28, 2022, the Trustee filed a motion for Rule 2004 discovery as to various legal and financial advisors to the Debtor, including Clark Hill [Docket No. 637] (the \"Professionals 2004 Motion\"). On August 16, 2022, the Court granted the Trustee's Professionals 2004 Motion [Docket No. 756]. Pursuant to the Court's order, on August 19, 2022, Clark Hill was served with a Rule 2004 Subpoena and document requests attached thereto (the \"Subpoena\"),<sup>3</sup> which sought information necessary for the Trustee to both evaluate and exercise control over the Action, which is property of the estate. (*See* Subpoena, Request for Production of Documents).<sup>4</sup>\n\n8. Pursuant to the Subpoena, the Trustee received and reviewed the Case Documents. The Trustee also spoke repeatedly and extensively with both Jenner & Block (counsel to Clark Hill) as well as Attorney Casper (counsel to the Debtor) regarding the Parties' positions, the merits of the case, the impact of the dismissal and/or withdrawal of certain damages or bases for the claims, and the potential settlement value of the Action.\n\n9. Through the 9019 Motion, the Trustee seeks Court approval of the Settlement Agreement between the Trustee, Thomas K. Ragland, and Clark Hill in order to resolve the Action. The salient provisions of the Settlement Agreement are, among other, that: i) Clark Hill will pay\n\n<sup>3</sup> The Subpoena is attached to Docket No. 1105 as Ex. B.\n\n<sup>4</sup> On November 2, 2022, the Debtor filed a motion for protective order (the \"Asylum Application Protective Order\") precluding the disclosure of the Debtor's asylum application (the \"Asylum Application\") to the Trustee (*See* Docket No. 637). On November 16, 2022, the Trustee filed his response to the Asylum Application Protective Order. (*See* Docket No. 1105). On December 9, 2022, the Court issued its order granting in part the Asylum Application Protective Order (the \"Asylum Application Order\"), which ordered Jenner & Block to produce the Summary Judgment Motion to the Trustee and his counsel. (*See* Docket No. 1217). On December 13, 2022, the Debtor filed a motion (the \"Motion for Appeal\") seeking leave to appeal the Asylum Application Order to the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Connecticut District Court\"). On January 11, 2023, the Connecticut District Court denied the Motion for Appeal.\n\nthe Debtor's estate a total of \\$499,000 in connection with the relief sought in the Complaint; and ii) the Trustee agrees to dismissal of the Action with prejudice.\n\n10. Through the Motion to Seal, the Trustee seeks to file under the seal certain supporting exhibits to the 9019 Motion which contain information subject to various protective orders from the Action and the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n#### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n11. Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c)(1) provides that the Court may reduce the notice period when requested by motion upon cause shown. Cause exists to consider and determine the Motions upon an expedited basis. The hearing on the Motions should be heard on an expedited basis due to the urgent need for funds for the Debtor's estate. In light of the significant amount of ongoing contested matters, adversary proceedings and appeals in the case, whose number is only likely to increase, the estate's need to for funds, such as those that will be provided in connection with the Settlement Agreement, is urgent. Moreover, the Committee, Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P. (\"PAX\"), and the U.S. Trustee have represented that they do not oppose the Motion to Expedite, but that their rights to object to the Motions are fully reserved.\n\n12. The Trustee respectfully requests that the Court schedule a hearing with respect to the Motions for **May 5, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (ET)**, or as soon as possible thereafter as the Court may be available. In addition, the Trustee request that the Court order that any opposition to the Motions be filed on or before **May 4, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. (noon)**.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\n4\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Trustee requests that the Court enter an order\n\ngranting the relief requested in this Motion to Expedite and such other relief as is just and proper.\n\nDated: April 28, 2022 LUC A.

United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格区联邦破产法院）（“本法院”）根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 和 1334 以及 United States District Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格区联邦地区法院）的常规移交命令，对本案具有管辖权。根据 28 U.S.C. § 157(b) 的定义，本案属于核心程序。\n\n2. 根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 和 1409，本司法区的审理地是适当的。\n\n3. 本加快审理动议所寻求救济的依据为《破产规则》第 9006(c)(1) 条。\n背景\n\n4. 2019年9月19日，债务人向 Superior Court of the District of Columbia（哥伦比亚特区高等法院）对其前代理律师 Clark Hill PLC（“Clark Hill”）及 Clark Hill 成员律师 Thomas K. Ragland（与 Clark Hill 合称“被告”）提起诉状（“诉状”），指控其存在执业过失，并就涉及 Clark Hill 计算机服务器的一起网络事件导致债务人的庇护申请信息据称在互联网上被公开发布而造成的损害寻求赔偿（“该诉讼”）。2019年10月24日，该诉讼被移送至 United States District Court for the District of Columbia（美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院）（“特区联邦地区法院”）。\n\n5. 2022年2月15日（“申请日”），债务人向本法院提交了根据《美国法典》第 11 编（“《破产法典》”）第 11 章寻求救济的自愿申请书，该救济包括根据《破产法典》第 362(a)(1) 条自动中止针对债务人的所有司法程序，包括该诉讼。\n6. 2022年3月21日，美国联邦破产受托人（United States Trustee）在债务人的第 11 章案件中任命了无担保债权人官方委员会（“委员会”）。\n\n7. 2022年7月28日，受托人提交了一项动议，请求根据第 2004 条对债务人的多名法律和财务顾问（包括 Clark Hill）进行调查取证 [Docket No. 637]（“专业人士 2004 动议”）。2022年8月16日，本法院准许了受托人的专业人士 2004 动议 [Docket No. 756]。根据本法院的命令，2022年8月19日，Clark Hill 被送达了第 2004 条传票及其所附的文件调取要求（“传票”）3，该传票旨在调取受托人评估并对作为破产财产的该诉讼行使控制权所必需的信息。（见传票，调取文件要求）。4\n\n8. 根据该传票，受托人收到并审阅了案件文件。受托人还与 Jenner & Block（Clark Hill 的代理律师）以及 Attorney Casper（债务人的代理律师）就各方立场、案件是非曲直、撤销和/或放弃某些损害赔偿或索赔依据的影响，以及该诉讼的潜在和解价值进行了反复且深入的沟通。\n\n9. 通过 9019 动议，受托人请求本法院批准受托人、Thomas K. Ragland 与 Clark Hill 之间的和解协议，以解决该诉讼。和解协议的主要条款包括但不限于：i) Clark Hill 将就诉状中所寻求的救济向债务人的破产财产总计支付 $499,000；以及 ii) 受托人同意永久放弃起诉并撤销该诉讼。\n\n3 传票作为附件 B 附于 Docket No. 1105。\n\n4 2022年11月2日，债务人提交了一项保护令动议（“庇护申请保护令”），请求禁止向受托人披露债务人的庇护申请（“庇护申请”）（见 Docket No. 637）。2022年11月16日，受托人提交了对庇护申请保护令的回应。（见 Docket No. 1105）。2022年12月9日，本法院作出命令，部分准许了庇护申请保护令（“庇护申请命令”），命令 Jenner & Block 向受托人及其律师出示即决判决动议。（见 Docket No. 1217）。2022年12月13日，债务人提交了一项动议（“上诉动议”），请求许可向上诉法院 United States District Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格区联邦地区法院）（“康涅狄格联邦地区法院”）就庇护申请命令提起上诉。2023年1月11日，康涅狄格联邦地区法院驳回了上诉动议。\n\n10. 通过封存动议，受托人请求封存 9019 动议的若干支持性附件，这些附件包含受该诉讼及第 11 章案件中多项保护令约束的信息。\n请求的救济\n\n11. 《破产规则》第 9006(c)(1) 条规定，本法院在经动议请求并说明正当理由后，可缩短通知期限。加快审理并裁定诸动议存在正当理由。由于债务人破产财产对资金的迫切需求，对诸动议的听证应当加快举行。鉴于本案中正在进行的争议事项、对抗性诉讼和上诉案件数量巨大且可能还会继续增加，破产财产对资金的需求（例如将根据和解协议提供的资金）极其迫切。此外，委员会、Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P.（太平洋联盟亚洲机会基金有限合伙，下称“PAX”）以及美国联邦破产受托人均已表示不反对加快审理动议，但对其针对诸动议提出异议的权利予以完全保留。\n\n12. 受托人谨请求本法院将诸动议的听证会安排在 2023年5月5日东部时间上午 10:00，或本法院有空的随后最早可行时间举行。此外，受托人请求本法院命令对诸动议的任何异议均应在 2023年5月4日中午 12:00 或之前提交。\n\n[本页余下部分有意留白。]\n鉴于上述理由，受托人请求本法院作出裁定，\n\n准许本加快审理动议中请求的救济，以及正当合理的其他救济。\n\n日期：2022年4月28日 LUC A.
