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\n#### **BACKGROUND**\n\n3. On June 2, 2023, the Trustee filed the Lady May Sale Motion, pursuant to which the Trustee seeks to sell the Lady May to Herb Chambers Yachting, LLC (the \"Buyer\") free and clear of liens of liens, claims, interests and encumbrances (the \"Sale\"), pursuant to sections 363(b) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code in accordance with that certain PSA. That same day, the Hearing Notice was issued, which provides, among other things, that the Trustee shall, on or before June 5, 2023, serve the Hearing Notice and the Lady May Sale Motion on \"all creditors and all parties indicating interest\" in the Lady May.\n\n4. Also on June 2, 2023, the Trustee served copies of the *entire* Lady May Sale Motion (including all attachments and the Sale Notice) as well as the Hearing Notice on (i) the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut, (ii) the Buyer, (iii) counsel for the Debtor, (iv) the Committee, (v) all entities and individuals that have expressed to Edmiston, the broker for the Lady May, an interest in purchasing the Lady May, and (vi) all parties who\n\n<sup>3</sup> A copy of the Hearing Notice is attached hereto as **Exhibit B**.\n\n<sup>4</sup> A copy of the Sale Notice is attached hereto as **Exhibit C**.\n\n<sup>5</sup> As detailed below, on June 2, 2023, the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice were served on creditor matrix.\n\nhave requested notice in the Debtor's case pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 (the \"Notice Parties\").6\n\n5. Finally, also on June 2, 2023, Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC (\"Epiq\"), the Trustee's notice and claims agent, served copies of the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice (but not the entire Lady May Sale Motion) via first class mail on the creditor matrix maintained in these chapter 11 cases (the \"Creditor Matrix\").7\n\n### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n6. By this Motion, the Trustee requests entry of the Proposed Order confirming that the Trustee is only required to serve the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice, but not the entire Lady May Sale Motion, on the Creditor Matrix.\n\n### **BASIS FOR RELIEF**\n\n7. Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a) generally requires that a minimum of twenty-one (21) days' notice of the proposed sale of property outside the ordinary course of business be provided by mail to \"the debtor, the trustee, all creditors and indenture trustees\" and any committee appointed under section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code. *See* Bankruptcy Rules 2002(a)(2), 2002(i). Additionally, Local Rule 6004-2(g) requires sale motions \"be served by the Movant on all parties indicating interest in the purchase of the property.\"\n\n8. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 2002(a)(2) and 2002(i), on June 2, 2023, the Trustee served the entire Lady May Sale Motion on the Notice Parties, and, also on June 2, 2023, Epiq served the Sale Notice and the Hearing Notice (but not the entire Lady May Sale\n\n<sup>6</sup> Service of the Lady May Sale Motion and the Hearing Notice was effectuated electronically through the Court's electronic filing (\"CM/ECF\") system or by mail to anyone unable to accept electronic filing as indicated on the notice of electronic filing. A certificate of service with respect to the service upon the Notice Parties was filed on June 5, 2023 at Docket No. 1865.\n\n<sup>7</sup> The Trustee will be filing a certificate of service with respect to the aforementioned service by the end of the day today, *i.e.*, June 5, 2023.\n\nMotion) on the Creditor Matrix. The Hearing Notice sets forth, among other things, the hearing date(s) for the Lady May Sale Motion (*i.e.*, June 27, 2023 and, if necessary June 28, 2023) and the related objection deadline (*i.e.*, June 23, 2023). In addition, the Sale Notice contains a summary description of the property to be sold (*i.e.*, the Lady May) as well as the key terms of the PSA. Furthermore, the Sale Notice also states, on the first page, and in **bold and all-caps**  that the Lady May Sale Motion can be viewed, free of charge, at\n\nhttp *i.e.*, the website maintained by Epiq in these chapter 11 cases.\n\n9. The Trustee respectfully submits that the foregoing service complies with the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules, as it provides notice of the proposed Sale to all interested parties, including all parties on the Creditor Matrix, twenty-one (21) days before the scheduled June 27, 2023 hearing on Lady May Sale Motion. However, because the Hearing Notice would require the Trustee to serve the full Lady May Sale Motion (including attachments thereto) on all creditors, the Trustee is compelled to file this Motion to seek relief from that requirement.\n\n10. In particular, the Trustee believes that service of the entire Lady May Sale Motion on the Creditor Matrix is both unnecessary and unduly expensive. It is unnecessary because, all creditors are on notice of the proposed Sale through the Hearing Notice and Sale Notice, which describes the key terms of the proposed Sale as well as the objection deadline and the hearing date(s). Moreover, the Sale Notice directs the reader to Epiq's website where a copy of the entire Lady May Sale Motion can be viewed, free of charge. Thus, there is no prejudice to the parties on the Creditor Matrix from not serving them with a hard copy of the Lady May Sale Motion.\n\n11. Nor would service of the entire Lady May Sale Motion be economical under the circumstances. Because there are approximately 1,600 creditors on the Creditor Matrix, it would cost the estate approximately \\$30,000 to serve the entire Lady May Sale Motion (which is 70 pages in total) on the Creditor Matrix. By contrast, serving only the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice (which are 4 pages in total) on the Creditor Matrix costs only approximately \\$7,000.\n\n12. In light of the foregoing, the Trustee respectfully requests that the Court not require the Trustee to serve the entire Lady May Sale Motion on the Creditor Matrix, but limit service on the Creditor Matrix to the Hearing Notice and the Sale Notice.\n\n13. Finally, emergency relief is necessary here because if, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Court were to require the Trustee to serve the entire Lady May Sale Motion on the Creditor Matrix by end of day on June 5, 2023, such service would need to commence as soon as possible.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank*.]\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Trustee respectfully requests that the\n\nBankruptcy Court enter the Proposed Order granting the relief requested herein.\n\nDated: June 5, 2023 New York, New York\n\n#### By: */s/ G.

Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 遗产的受托人（仅为通知及通信之目的）。\n\n2 “Lady May 出售动议”是指《受托人动议，请求根据〈破产法典〉第105条和第363条、〈破产规则〉第2002条、第6004(c)条和第9014条以及地方法规第6004-1条和第6004-2条，作出裁定：(I) 授权并批准无留置权、请求权、权益及负担地出售 Lady May，(II) 授权并批准购买及出售协议，以及 (III) 给予相关救济》[案卷编号 1858]。本文件中使用但未另行定义的首字母大写术语，具有出售动议中赋予该等术语的含义。\n\n听证通知 [案卷编号 1859]（以下简称“听证通知”），3 以及 (b) 遗产财产拟议私下出售通知（以下简称“出售通知”），4 而非送达整份 Lady May 出售动议副本。5 为支持本动议，受托人谨陈述如下：\n\n管辖权及审判地\n\n1. 法院根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 以及美国康涅狄格联邦地区法院（United States District Court for the District of Connecticut）的移送常设命令，对本事项具有管辖权。根据 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)，本事项属于核心程序。\n\n2. 根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409，本地区为适当审判地。\n\n背景\n\n3. 2023年6月2日，受托人提交了 Lady May 出售动议，据此，受托人根据《破产法典》第363(b)条和第363(f)条，并依照该特定 PSA，请求将 Lady May 无留置权、留置权、请求权、权益及负担地出售给 Herb Chambers Yachting, LLC（Herb Chambers Yachting, LLC）（以下简称“买方”）（以下简称“出售”）。同日，签发了听证通知，其中规定，除其他事项外，受托人应于2023年6月5日或之前，向 Lady May 的“所有债权人及所有表示有利害关系的当事人”送达听证通知和 Lady May 出售动议。\n\n4. 同样于2023年6月2日，受托人向以下各方送达了整份 Lady May 出售动议（包括所有附件及出售通知）以及听证通知的副本：(i) 美国康涅狄格地区受托人办公室（Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut），(ii) 买方，(iii) 债务人的律师，(iv) 委员会，(v) 曾向 Lady May 的经纪人 Edmiston（Edmiston）表示有意购买 Lady May 的所有实体和个人，以及 (vi) 所有\n\n3 听证通知副本作为附件B随附于此。\n\n4 出售通知副本作为附件C随附于此。\n\n5 如下文详述，2023年6月2日，听证通知和出售通知已向债权人名册送达。\n\n根据《破产规则》第2002条请求在债务人案件中获得通知的当事人（以下简称“通知当事人”）。6\n\n5. 最后，同样于2023年6月2日，Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC（Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC）（以下简称“Epiq”），即受托人的通知和请求权代理人，通过普通邮件向本第11章案件中维护的债权人名册（以下简称“债权人名册”）送达了听证通知和出售通知（但未送达整份 Lady May 出售动议）的副本。7\n\n所请求的救济\n\n6. 受托人通过本动议，请求作出拟议裁定，确认受托人仅须向债权人名册送达听证通知和出售通知，而无须送达整份 Lady May 出售动议。\n\n救济依据\n\n7. 《破产规则》第2002(a)条通常要求，拟议在正常营业过程之外出售财产，应至少提前二十一（21）日通过邮件向“债务人、受托人、所有债权人和受托契约受托人”以及根据《破产法典》第1102条指定的任何委员会发出通知。参见《破产规则》第2002(a)(2)条、第2002(i)条。此外，地方法规第6004-2(g)条要求出售动议“由动议方送达给所有表示有意购买该财产的当事人”。\n\n8. 依照《破产规则》第2002(a)(2)条和第2002(i)条，2023年6月2日，受托人向通知当事人送达了整份 Lady May 出售动议；并且，同样于2023年6月2日，Epiq 向债权人名册送达了出售通知和听证通知（但未送达整份 Lady May 出售\n\n6 Lady May 出售动议和听证通知通过法院电子提交（“CM/ECF”）系统以电子方式送达，或根据电子提交通知中所示，通过邮件送达给无法接受电子提交的任何人。关于向通知当事人送达的送达证明已于2023年6月5日作为案卷编号 1865 提交。\n\n7 受托人将于今日，即2023年6月5日营业结束前，就上述送达提交送达证明。\n\n动议）。听证通知列明了包括 Lady May 出售动议的听证日期（即2023年6月27日，以及如有必要，2023年6月28日）和相关异议截止日期（即2023年6月23日）在内的事项。此外，出售通知载有对拟出售财产（即 Lady May）的概述以及 PSA 的关键条款。此外，出售通知还在第一页以粗体大写文字载明，Lady May 出售动议可在以下网址免费查阅：\n\nhttp，即 Epiq 在本第11章案件中维护的网站。\n\n9. 受托人谨认为，上述送达符合《破产规则》和地方法规，因为其在预定于2023年6月27日就 Lady May 出售动议举行听证会之前二十一（21）日，向所有利害关系方，包括债权人名册上的所有当事人，发出了拟议出售的通知。然而，由于听证通知将要求受托人向所有债权人送达完整的 Lady May 出售动议（包括其附件），受托人不得不提交本动议，以寻求免除该项要求的救济。\n\n10. 特别是，受托人认为，向债权人名册送达整份 Lady May 出售动议既无必要，且费用过高。此举无必要，因为所有债权人均通过听证通知和出售通知获得了拟议出售的通知，该等通知说明了拟议出售的关键条款，以及异议截止日期和听证日期。此外，出售通知引导读者前往 Epiq 的网站，在该网站可免费查阅整份 Lady May 出售动议副本。因此，未向债权人名册上的当事人送达 Lady May 出售动议的纸质副本，不会对其造成不利影响。\n\n11. 在此情形下，送达整份 Lady May 出售动议也不具经济性。由于债权人名册上约有1,600名债权人，向债权人名册送达整份 Lady May 出售动议（总计70页）将使遗产承担约 \\$30,000 的费用。相比之下，仅向债权人名册送达听证通知和出售通知（总计4页）的费用仅约为 \\$7,000。\n\n12. 鉴于上述情况，受托人谨请求法院不要求受托人向债权人名册送达整份 Lady May 出售动议，而将向债权人名册的送达限于听证通知和出售通知。\n\n13. 最后，此处有必要给予紧急救济，因为如果尽管有上述情况，法院仍要求受托人于2023年6月5日营业结束前向债权人名册送达整份 Lady May 出售动议，则该等送达需要尽快开始。\n\n[本页其余部分有意留白。]\n\n因此，基于上述理由，受托人谨请求破产法院作出拟议裁定，给予本文件所请求的救济。\n\n日期：2023年6月5日　纽约州纽约市\n签署人：/s/ G.
