If we could have appearances for the record, starting with the Chapter 11 Trustee, please? MR. DESPINS: Good afternoon, Your Honor. Luc Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee. MR. LINSEY: Good afternoon, Your Honor. Patrick Linsey for the trustee. MR. SARNOFF: Good afternoon, Your Honor. Stuart Sarnoff, O'Melveny and Myers, on behalf of Creditor, PAX. MS. SMITH: Good afternoon, Your Honor. Annecca Smith, Robinson and Cole, also on behalf of PAX. MS. WERNICK: Good afternoon, Your Honor. Melissa Wernick from CSG Law on behalf of Mei Guo and HK USA. MR. KINDSETH: Good afternoon, Your Honor. Stephen Kindseth, Zeisler and Zeisler, also on behalf of Ms. Mei Guo and HK USA. MR. KAPLAN: Good afternoon, Your Honor. Jonathan Kaplan of Pullman and Comley on behalf of the Committee. MS. CLAIBORN: And good afternoon, Your Honor. Holley Claiborn for the U. S. Trustee. THE COURT: Okay. Good afternoon, everyone. Attorney Kindseth, are you appearing on behalf of the debtor as well?\n\n MR. KINDSETH: I am not. THE COURT: No one is appearing on behalf of the debtor? MR. KINDSETH: That's correct, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. All right. Go ahead, Trustee Despins. You requested this status conference with regard to the Lady May -- MR. DESPINS: Yes. THE COURT: -- so please, proceed. MR. DESPINS: Yeah, Judge. The first thing I want to say is that we're really grateful of Your Honor making herself available again on such short notice. But, you know, there's good news, but it needs -- there are some logistical items that need to be addressed. So the good news is, as you know from the status conference last week, the bids were due yesterday at 5 o'clock and we received several bids and, as you know, the minimum bid was 20 million, and the competitive dynamic created an environment that produced the highest bid at \\$24 million, which was pretty close to the asking price. And so that's very good news. Now the complicating factor is that the buyer says that he wants a closing by June 30th. He wants the boat for July 4th. And you might say, well, that's ridiculous, but at that price, if he asked me to go and wash the boat, I\n\nwould do that as well.\n\n So my point is, Your Honor, we need to try to accommodate that and I was looking at the schedule and, of course, it depends on Your Honor's schedule. But if we filed the sale motion on Friday, normally as you know it's 21 days' notice for a sale of this property, but if we shortened that by just two days to make it 19 days, and made the objection deadline on the 24th of June, so that's a shortening of two days, we could -- I'm sorry, it's the 21st. I'm sorry. The 21st of June, not the 24th. 21st of June. And the sale hearing could be, subject to Your Honor's availability, on Monday the 26th. That would allow for a closing on the 30th, which is what the buyer has requested and what we've agreed to. But to be clear, you know, the contract is not binding on me without court approval, but we did agree as part of this deal to try to close by the 30th. So that is the reason for the call, Your Honor, to save a lot of time in back and forth to see, one, if the Court is available on the 26th, and whether we can shorten the deadline by two days.\n\n Again, the sale motion filed on Friday of this week, objection deadline on the -- Tuesday -- I'm sorry, Wednesday, the 21st of June. So that is the request, Your Honor.\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.\n\n THE COURT: Okay. Does anyone else wish to be heard on the request that's been made? I have a couple of questions, but I'd like to hear if anyone else wishes to be heard. Does anybody have any questions or objections to the request that the trustee has made with regard to timing? MR. KINDSETH: Yes, Your Honor. Stephen Kindseth on behalf of Ms. Mei Guo and HK USA. Your Honor, we would like a brief opportunity to respond to this sale procedure proposal as being submitted at a status conference. We understand the need to expedite, but we don't think it's appropriate to have an oral procedures motion submitted and given literally minutes to formulate a response. My client may agree to the proposed sale procedure but, again, we would like time to respond. And I'm not talking about significant time. In fact, I would suggest 24 hours. This is just to respond to the dates that are being proposed. We'd like to confer with our client -- THE COURT: Well, you'll have an opportunity to do that -- MR. KINDSETH: -- and reflect upon those figures. THE COURT: -- because the sale motion is going to be filed by Friday and you can oppose it, if you'd like, by the -- if these dates -- if this proposal that the trustee\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.\n\n is suggesting is approved insofar as -- I'm not entering any orders or anything today. All he's telling me is what he's proposing to do. And he's -- MR. KINDSETH: Okay. Then I misunderstood -- THE COURT: -- asking for a hearing date. That's what he's asking for, to put that as part of the proposal. And then there will be an objection deadline, and then there will be a hearing. MR. KINDSETH: But that's what I'm commenting on, Your Honor. I'm commenting on accelerating the sale process, setting an objection to the one set in the hearing. I'd like the opportunity -- THE COURT: Then you can file a written objection to that. MR. KINDSETH: Okay. As long as nothing is being ordered today, then, and -- THE COURT: I'm not entering any orders. MR. KINDSETH: Okay. Then I don't even know if there's a request. MR. DESPINS: There's certainly a request, Your Honor to -- THE COURT: There is a request. MR. DESPINS: -- know if Your Honor -- THE COURT: He made a request because he's trying to figure out what date, if anything -- any date the Court\n\n has for a sale hearing. That's the -- that's what he's requesting. And then he's going to put in his papers whatever he's going to put in his papers, and then everybody will review them, and then everybody has an opportunity to object. That's what -- this is -- and we did have a status conference last week regarding the Lady May where these issues were raised. I don't recall whether you or your client participated in that, but I don't think you did, but you were aware of it. And you know that they've been moving to try to sell the boat. I mean, this is no -- this is nothing new. This is -- it's not even new to PAX, who's been trying to sell the boat or get the boat since, what, 2019? So I -- I mean, I understand what you're saying, but you will have the opportunity to object. All he's -- this is a status conference at which Trustee Despins has said he has an offer, he's going to file a motion, he's going to suggest that the hearing be held on a certain date because the buyer wants to close by June 30. So he's asking if the Court can accommodate that timing. And then if he is asking for less than 21 days, he'll have to file a motion expediting the hearing based\n\n upon whether the Court has a hearing date available on the expedited basis. Right? So -- MR. KINDSETH: Thank you, Your Honor. THE COURT: -- so that's where we are, from the Court's perspective. As I said to -- I don't -- I think I said last week, while I'm not entering any order, you're just telling me what the process is. And I believe that Trustee Despins has done that to give the Court knowledge of what he is anticipating doing, and also in connection with scheduling, because let's say, for example, he didn't file -- he files his sale motion on Friday and then he has to find out whether or not -- and he suggests a hearing on the 26th, but he doesn't know for sure that the Court has availability. That's what he's asking for. It's a status conference. I think it's fair. I think anybody can ask for that, and they do. This is certainly not the first time I've been asked in advance of pleadings filed, is it available -- will the Court be available on X date for a hearing. Okay? And I think under the -- the very specific circumstances and facts of this case, I don't think that the request is unreasonable insofar as having a status conference to inform the Court of the proposed course of action, and then attempting to obtain a hearing date and\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 1890 Filed 06/07/23 Entered 06/07/23 12:53:48 Page 9 of 23\n\n work backwards from that. I don't think that's unreasonable at all. And I'm not saying you're saying it's unreasonable. I'm just telling you, that's the perspective that the Court has in connection with this request for a status conference, much of which was highlighted to the Court last week, and has been the subject of discussion in the adversary proceeding, right? I mean, that was the whole issue on summary judgment on the first counterclaim. So in any event, the issue I have with the 26th, Trustee Despins, is we have something scheduled already that's been scheduled for some time. How much time do you think you're going to need? Or you don't have any -- I don't know if you have any anticipation of how much time you're going to need on the 26th. MR. DESPINS: It's difficult to say. It really depends on the objections that are filed. I mean, I don't think -- THE COURT: I agree. MR. DESPINS: -- it should be more than two hours, but -- THE COURT: I agree. MR. DESPINS: I would just say that there's been robust marketing here and robust bidding. Yesterday, there were some side bids, so I -- you know, it's always possible that somebody shows up with a better bid. God bless if that\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.\n\n happens, but I think there's been robust marketing and bidding here, so I think that should give everyone some comfort that the best price will be presented to the Court at the hearing. THE COURT: I'm looking at some things on the calendar, so you're going to all have to bear with me for a moment while I look at things. (Pause) THE COURT: Well, the problem with the 26th is that we have an -- we have a trial scheduled on the 26th, in an involuntary case that has been scheduled for some time. We could start the hearing on the 27th. I could -- I could continue some things that are on, what I would call our weekly calendar that are not of the same urgency, although they're urgent to those parties but under -- if I have to prioritize, I could move things and start -- I could move a few matters. Just give me a second, please. (Pause) THE COURT: I could move a few matters and start at noon on the 27th. And then we could go on to the 28th. I could -- and the trial that's scheduled for the 28th, I already mentioned to Attorney Claiborn when she was in hearings -- our Tuesday hearings last week, that that trial might get continued, but it was for other reasons at that\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.\n\n point, but now it's for this reason. Attorney -- Trustee Despins, what do you think about that timing? MR. DESPINS: We'll take whatever time you can give us, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. MR. DESPINS: So we'll start on the 27th. THE COURT: I think we need to start -- I -- this trial on the 26th has been set for some time and it is an evidentiary trial on a contesting an involuntary petition, so it is something -- that, you know, does have to take priority. MR. DESPINS: Understood. Absolutely. THE COURT: So I think we can start on the 27th at noon, and then we will continue on -- and I'll have the whole day of the 28th available. Attorney Claiborn, we'll have to -- MR. DESPINS: Understood, Your Honor. THE COURT: -- we'll issue -- we could start the trial that you were involved in on the 29th, and then see where we go from there. MS. CLAIBORN: I think, Your Honor, that you may have previously scheduled, perhaps earlier today, a hearing on the fee application of Paul Hastings for the 29th. THE COURT: Oh. Did we -- did we --\n\n MS. CLAIBORN: Hopefully, I didn't get my dates wrong. MR. DESPINS: No, that's correct. THE COURT: Yeah, but we didn't change the trial -- MR. DESPINS: At 10:00 on the -- THE COURT: -- on the 29th. We didn't say that there wasn't going to be a trial, but you're right. You're right, Attorney Claiborn, so it would just be that the trial would start later, maybe at 11:00 or 12:00 on the 29th. Okay? MS. CLAIBORN: Okay. THE COURT: We'll have to work on that, obviously. All right. So I'm turning to the courtroom deputy who understands that if Trustee Despins files a motion to sell the Lady May and a motion to expedite the hearing on this Friday, files that sometime this Friday -- and obviously, Case 22-50073 Doc 1890 Filed 06/07/23 Entered 06/07/23 12:53:48 Page 13 of 23\n\n Trustee Despins, the sooner the better, because the clerk's office staff, you know, does leave on Fridays at -- you know, they're usually done in the afternoon.\n\n If you file something at 5 o'clock, it might not get reviewed until Monday. So the earlier you file on Friday, the more likely there -- it would be that an order could possibly enter granting the expedited hearing and\n\n setting the hearing for the 27th at noon. That's -- but those documents would have to be -- have to be filed first, obviously. MR. DESPINS: But the motion to expedite, I'm sure, can be filed way before 5 o'clock on Friday. The actual sale motion might take a little bit longer, but the motion to expedite can be filed, you know, long time before 5 o'clock on Friday. MR. KINDSETH: Your Honor, those should be filed together, obviously, so that we can be informed as to precisely what transpired in terms of the sale process, which I'd like to point out was not pre-approved by the Court. There is no sales procedures motion, no sale procedures order. These are the first we're going to be hearing -- THE COURT: There doesn't need to be a sales procedure motion or order, Attorney Kindseth. MR. KINDSETH: I understand. We're going to be seeing it for the first time. So the motion to expedite with respect to the substantive motion should be filed together. THE COURT: Well, that may be your position, so we'll see what happens when motions get filed. MR. DESPINS: Your Honor, I think we can -- we didn't want to do it like this, but if we file it on Friday,\n\n| 1  | if the objection deadline is Friday, the 23rd, that's 21       |\n|----|----------------------------------------------------------------|\n| 2  | days.<br>So let's leave it at that and we'll have to work      |\n| 3  | during the weekend and all that.<br>And the hearing will be on |\n| 4  | the 27th and we'll file a response Sunday evening or           |\n| 5  | something like that.                                           |\n| 6  | But any response would be -- need to file -- we'll             |\n| 7  | file it on Sunday evening.<br>That way, there's no shortening  |\n| 8  | of anything, so Mr. Kindseth doesn't have to be concerned      |\n| 9  | about that.                                                    |\n| 10 | We just want to make sure, though, that -- and I               |\n| 11 | think you just confirmed that you are available on the 27th,   |\n| 12 | and so that's great.<br>We'll start on the 27th.               |\n| 13 | THE COURT:<br>We'll start -- assuming you file your            |\n| 14 | documents, the hearing will be scheduled on June 27th --       |\n| 15 | assuming you file all your documents by Friday, June 2nd,      |\n| 16 | the hearing will be scheduled for June 27th at noon, and       |\n| 17 | we'll continue on to June 28th, if necessary.                  |\n| 18 | MR. DESPINS:<br>Thank you, Your Honor.                         |\n| 19 | THE COURT:<br>Okay?                                            |\n| 20 | MR. DESPINS:<br>The other thing I want to mention,             |\n| 21 | which was not on the agenda but something that came up this    |\n| 22 | morning, literally, we submitted through courtroom deputy, a   |\n| 23 | revised proposed emergency order.<br>This is the order that    |\n| 24 | you amended four or five times already that -- regarding the   |\n| 25 | Sherry -- access to the Sherry Netherland.                     |\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.\n\n And you'll recall that on purpose, I did not include myself as a person who has the right to go to the apartment. I wanted to avoid any concerns or allegation that somehow while an investigation was going, that I went on site, so I excluded myself and have never been to the apartment. But now I need to go to the apartment for various reasons, including the fact that we've discovered this morning, artwork in a closet of one of the maid's room, which artwork could be valuable and I -- I need to go and recover it today and make sure it's safeguarded. So we would ask Your Honor to nullify the order, and Mr. Bongartz has already submitted by email a draft order that would allow the trustee to go to the apartment, and obviously we'll take pictures of everything. The Sherry Netherland has already taken pictures and they're the ones who discovered this this morning, and so that's why we would ask the Court to modify the order to allow us to go on premises to recover the artwork, which time will tell whether it has any value or not, but if it has value, it needs to be protected. It can't be left in the maid's room. THE COURT: The Sherry Netherland discovered that this morning? Is that what you're saying? MR. DESPINS: That's correct, Your Honor.\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.\n\n THE COURT: So they were -- MR. DESPINS: The way it works is that there are three apartments. There is the 18th floor. That's where the fire occurred. And there are two other apartments that are -- apparently in the buildings are that -- typically when you own the big apartment, you can buy one-bedroom or like a studio, basically, to put your staff in. And there are two of these that came with the 18th floor apartment, but on different floors. So you don't have to go through the 18th floor to go there. One is on the 22nd floor, the other one is on the 7th floor at the Sherry Netherland, and the Sherry Netherland had never been -- you know, well, I'm sure they had been at one point, but not recently, not since the fire. And I told them this morning that they should go and see what's in these apartments, and that's where they told me that it was artwork. They sent me pictures of that, and I don't know just by looking at the pictures the value it has, but certainly my job is to secure it. We can't leave it in the maid's room. THE COURT: Well, isn't it secure right now? I mean, who has access to -- I'm not suggest -- I just want to understand. What -- MR. DESPINS: I -- Case 22-50073 Doc 1890 Filed 06/07/23 Entered 06/07/23 12:53:48 Page 17 of 23\n\n THE COURT: -- who has access to the area right now? MR. DESPINS: Nobody, because the order that you've entered covers both that 18th floor and the two other apartments. So in theory, no one should have access to that, in theory. But I don't -- I don't want to exaggerate here, but we have good information that Mr. Kwok has purchased artwork in the millions of dollars in the past. We don't know where that artwork is, but if that is part of it, I really think it would be ill advised to leave it on the premises there, not that I have any interest in going to the Sherry Netherlands to get this stuff, but I know if there -- if it has value, it needs to be protected. And without any issues as to who owns it and all that, that can be determined later. Right now, it needs to be in a place where nobody can access it. THE COURT: And the proposed order indicates how that is going to occur? MR. DESPINS: No, just the -- it just says that I am entitled to go to the apartment, the apartment being defined as the 18th floor and the two other maids' quarters, if you will. And I intend to go there this afternoon and bring the artwork back to our offices. MR. KINDSETH: Your Honor, may I be heard?\n\n THE COURT: Yes. MR. KINDSETH: So I guess, Your Honor, for the record, I will be appearing for Mr. Ho Wan Kwok at this time, in light of this revelation. My suggestion is -- and I think this protects the estate and the trustee, and other parties who may claim an interest. If the trustee could circulate an inventory of what the Sherry Netherland's staff has informed him is present, at least we will have -- and I know the identification may not be clear, but he said he had photographs. Perhaps there's a complete set of photographs that he can share. So at least -- before there's any additional access, there's a record and it would be sent to me and perhaps even the United States Trustee's office. There would be a record of what we're talking about here before he access it -- accesses it and retrieves the property. MR. DESPINS: I'm happy to do that, Your Honor. We have the pictures from the Sherry Netherland. I'm happy to share them. And I said, I don't want to -- I'm not -- I know nothing about art. Or at least, I don't know anything about expensive art. This could be -- this could be junk, or it could be worth something. So that's why I think it's\n\n important to be careful about this. MR. KINDSETH: We respect the trustee's perspective in that regard. We're just trying to create an inventory. MR. DESPINS: Not an issue, Your Honor. Absolutely. THE COURT: Okay. MR. DESPINS: And I can say that the Sherry Netherland has already told me that one of the pieces was already broken in the sense that when they -- when they -- when they opened the closet in the maid's quarter, they could hear glass -- you know, they're all in Saran -- not Saran Wrap. They're in bubble wrap, and they could hear glass, you know, moving there. So -- but we'll video all of that when we take it, but we'll also send pictures to Mr. Kindseth before going over there. THE COURT: Well, I haven't seen the order that you're talking about, and you're saying all it does is modify an existing order to allow you to have access, which Mr. Kwok's counsel is not opposing. Correct? MR. DESPINS: That's correct. That's all it does. It doesn't talk about taking custody of anything. I'll take that on my own, but it just authorizes access to the apartment, which I can't access without the order being\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 1890 Filed 06/07/23 Entered 06/07/23 12:53:48 Page 21 of 23\n\n modified. THE COURT: Because the Sherry Netherland won't let you in? MR. DESPINS: Correct. And they're right. They're correct. They're -- THE COURT: No, no, I understand. I'm just asking -- MR. DESPINS: They are enforcing the order. THE COURT: -- I am just asking the question. I don't have anything in front of me -- MR. DESPINS: Yes, they do. THE COURT: -- to refer to, so I'm just asking the question. MR. DESPINS: It's basically they're enforcing the prior orders Your Honor entered. As I said before, I was not on that list on purpose. Now that, you know, a month has passed, you know, since the fire, the investigations are completely over in terms of forensic investigation in the apartment, so there's no -- there's no issue about going to the apartment, so that's why I feel comfortable doing that and recovering the artwork, and we'll determine what value it has, if any. THE COURT: Okay. Well, I'll certainly take a look at that order when it's brought to my attention. I mean, now you've told us, so we'll find it and we'll look at\n\n it. MR. DESPINS: Thank you, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. Thank you. MR. DESPINS: That's all we had from the trustee's point of view for today. Thank you again for making yourselves available. We really appreciate it. THE COURT: Okay. You're welcome. Then we'll see what gets filed on Friday and we will act accordingly, and we will look for an order regarding access to the apartment at the Sherry Netherland, a modification to that order. Okay? MR. DESPINS: Thank you, Your Honor. THE COURT: All right. That concludes this status conference today then, and that is our last matter on for hearing today, so court is adjourned. MR.

事项请求召开此次状态会议——\n\n德斯潘先生：是的。\n\n法庭：——那么请继续。\n\n德斯潘先生：好的，法官阁下。我首先想说的是，我们非常感谢法官阁下再次在如此短的通知期限内抽出时间。但是，有好消息，不过也有一些后勤事项需要处理。因此，好消息是，正如您从上周的状态会议中所知，投标截止时间是昨天下午5点，我们收到了数份投标；如您所知，最低投标额为20 million，而竞争态势促成了最高投标额 \\$24 million，已相当接近要价。因此，这是非常好的消息。现在，复杂因素是买方表示其希望在 June 30th 前成交。他希望在 July 4th 使用该船。您可能会说，这很荒谬，但以这个价格，如果他要求我去清洗该船，我也会这么做。\n\n因此，我的意思是，法官阁下，我们需要尽力满足这一要求。我查看了日程安排，当然，这取决于法官阁下的日程。如果我们在本周 Friday 提交出售动议，通常，如您所知，出售该财产需要提前21天通知；但如果我们仅将该期限缩短两天，变为19天，并将异议截止日定为 June 24th，那么也就是缩短两天，我们就可以——抱歉，是 June 21st。抱歉，不是24日，是 June 21st。June 21st。出售听证会可以在 Monday the 26th 举行，但须视法官阁下是否有空而定。这样即可在30日成交，这正是买方所要求的，也是我们同意的。不过，为明确起见，未经法院批准，该合同对我没有约束力；但我们确实作为该交易的一部分同意尽力在30日前完成成交。因此，这就是此次电话会议的原因，法官阁下，为节省大量来回沟通的时间，以确认第一，法院是否在26日有空；以及我们是否可以将期限缩短两天。\n\n再说一遍，本周 Friday 提交出售动议，异议截止日为——Tuesday——抱歉，Wednesday，June 21st。因此，这就是请求，法官阁下。\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.（菲奥雷记录与速记服务公司）\n\n法庭：好的。还有其他人希望就所提出的请求发表意见吗？我有几个问题，但我想先听听是否还有其他人希望发表意见。有人对受托人就时间安排所提出的请求有任何问题或异议吗？\n\n金德塞斯先生：有，法官阁下。Stephen Kindseth（斯蒂芬·金德塞斯），代表 Mei Guo（梅郭）及 HK USA（香港美国）。法官阁下，我们希望获得一个简短机会，对在状态会议上提出的这项出售程序建议作出回应。我们理解需要加快进程，但我们认为，提交一项口头程序动议并仅给予我们实际上几分钟时间来拟定回应，并不适当。我的当事人可能同意拟议的出售程序，但再次说明，我们希望有时间作出回应。我并不是说需要很长时间。事实上，我建议24小时。这只是为了回应所提议的日期。我们希望与当事人协商——\n\n法庭：嗯，您将有机会这样做——\n\n金德塞斯先生：——并考虑这些数字。\n\n法庭：——因为出售动议将在 Friday 前提交；如果您愿意，您可以在——如果这些日期——如果受托人所建议的这一方案获准，就此提出反对。——我今天并未作出任何裁定或任何事情。他只是告诉我他拟议要做什么。而他——\n\n金德塞斯先生：好的。那么是我误解了——\n\n法庭：——是在请求确定一个听证日期。他请求的是这个，以便将其作为方案的一部分。随后将会有异议截止日，之后将举行听证会。\n\n金德塞斯先生：但这正是我正在评论的内容，法官阁下。我评论的是加速出售程序，将异议期限设定为听证会所设定的期限。我希望有机会——\n\n法庭：那么您可以就此提交书面异议。\n\n金德塞斯先生：好的。只要今天不会作出任何命令，那么，并且——\n\n法庭：我不会作出任何命令。\n\n金德塞斯先生：好的。那么我甚至不知道是否存在请求。\n\n德斯潘先生：当然存在一个请求，法官阁下，即——\n\n法庭：确实存在一个请求。\n\n德斯潘先生：——了解法官阁下是否——\n\n法庭：他提出了请求，因为他正试图确定法院就出售听证会有何日期——如果有任何日期——可供安排。这就是——这就是他所请求的。然后他将在其书面材料中写入任何他将要写入的内容，随后每个人都会审阅，之后每个人都有机会提出异议。这就是——这是——而且我们上周确实就 Lady May 召开了一次状态会议，在该会议中提出了这些问题。我不记得您或您的当事人是否参加了那次会议，但我认为您没有参加，不过您知道此事。您也知道他们一直在设法出售该船。我的意思是，这并不——这并非新事。这甚至对 PAX 来说也不新鲜，PAX 一直在尝试出售该船或取得该船，自2019年以来，是吧？所以我——我的意思是，我理解您所说的，但您将有机会提出异议。他所做的只是——这是一次状态会议，在会上德斯潘受托人表示他有一项要约，他将提交一项动议，他将建议在某一日期举行听证会，因为买方希望在 June 30 前成交。因此，他询问法院能否配合这一时间安排。然后，如果他请求少于21天的期限，他就必须基于法院是否有可在加速基础上安排的听证日期，提交一项请求加速举行听证的动议。对吗？所以——\n\n金德塞斯先生：谢谢您，法官阁下。\n\n法庭：——因此，从法院的角度而言，这就是目前的情况。正如我对——我不——我想我上周说过，虽然我并未作出任何命令，但您只是告诉我程序为何。我相信德斯潘受托人这样做，是为了让法院知悉他预计将要采取的行动，也与排期有关；因为举例说，假设他没有提交——他在 Friday 提交其出售动议，然后他必须查明是否——他建议在26日举行听证会，但他并不确定法院是否有空。这正是他所请求的。这是一次状态会议。我认为这很公平。我认为任何人都可以提出这样的请求，而且他们确实会提出。这当然不是第一次有人在提交书状之前询问我，某日法院是否有空举行听证会。好吗？鉴于本案非常具体的情形和事实，我认为该请求并非不合理，就召开状态会议以告知法院拟议的行动方案，然后尝试取得一个听证日期并\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.（菲奥雷记录与速记服务公司）\nCase 22-50073 Doc 1890 Filed 06/07/23 Entered 06/07/23 12:53:48 Page 9 of 23\n\n从该日期倒推而言，我完全不认为这不合理。我并不是说您称其不合理。我只是告诉您，就此次请求召开状态会议而言，这就是法院的观点，其中大部分内容已于上周向法院重点说明，并且一直是对抗程序中讨论的主题，对吗？我的意思是，那正是就第一项反诉作出简易判决的全部问题所在。因此，无论如何，德斯潘受托人，我对26日的问题是，我们已有一项已安排一段时间的事项。您认为需要多长时间？或者您没有任何——我不知道您是否预计26日需要多长时间。\n\n德斯潘先生：很难说。这确实取决于所提出的异议。我的意思是，我不认为——\n\n法庭：我同意。\n\n德斯潘先生：——其应超过两小时，但是——\n\n法庭：我同意。\n\n德斯潘先生：我只想说，这里进行了广泛的营销，也进行了积极的竞标。昨天出现了一些附带投标，因此我——您知道，始终有可能有人带着更高的投标出现。谢天谢地，如果有人\n\n会发生，但我认为这里已经进行了充分的营销和竞价，因此我认为这应当能让各方稍感安心，即将在听证会上向法庭提交最优价格。\n\n法庭：我正在查看日程表上的一些事项，所以各位得稍等我一下，我要看一看。（暂停）\n\n法庭：嗯，26日的问题是，我们在26日安排了一场审判，这是一宗已安排一段时间的非自愿案件。我们可以在27日开始听证会。我可以——我可以延后一些我所称的每周日程表上的事项；这些事项对当事人而言虽然紧急，但紧急程度不同——如果我必须确定优先次序，我可以调整一些事项并开始——我可以调整几项事务。请稍等一下。（暂停）\n\n法庭：我可以调整几项事务，并在27日中午开始。然后我们可以继续至28日。我可以——而且，原定于28日进行的审判，我在上周二的听证会上已经向 Claiborn（克莱伯恩）律师提到，该审判可能会延期，但当时是出于其他原因。\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.（菲奥雷记录与转录服务公司）\n\n但现在是出于这个原因。Despins（德斯平斯）律师——受托人 Despins，您认为这个时间安排如何？\n\nDESPINS 先生：您能给我们什么时间，我们就接受什么时间，法官阁下。\n\n法庭：好的。\n\nDESPINS 先生：那么我们将在27日开始。\n\n法庭：我认为我们需要开始——我——这场26日的审判已经安排了一段时间，而且是就一项受争议的非自愿申请进行的证据审判，因此这是一件——您知道——确实必须优先处理的事项。\n\nDESPINS 先生：明白。完全明白。\n\n法庭：所以我认为我们可以在27日中午开始，然后我们将继续进行——而且我28日全天都有空。Claiborn 律师，我们将不得不——\n\nDESPINS 先生：明白，法官阁下。\n\n法庭：——我们将发布——您参与的那场审判可以在29日开始，然后再看情况如何发展。\n\nCLAIBORN 女士：我认为，法官阁下，您此前可能已安排——或许就在今天早些时候——于29日就 Paul Hastings（宝尔·汉鼎律师事务所）的费用申请举行听证会。\n\n法庭：哦。我们是否——我们是否——\n\nCLAIBORN 女士：希望我没有记错日期。\n\nDESPINS 先生：不，没错。\n\n法庭：是的，但我们没有改变审判——\n\nDESPINS 先生：在——的10:00。\n\n法庭：——29日的安排。我们并没有说不会有审判，但您说得对。您说得对，Claiborn 律师，所以只是审判会在29日较晚开始，也许在11:00或12:00开始。好吗？\n\nCLAIBORN 女士：好的。\n\n法庭：显然，我们必须对此作出安排。好。那么我转向法庭书记员；其理解为，如果受托人 Despins 于本周五提交出售 Lady May（“梅夫人”号）的动议，以及加快本周五听证会的动议，并于本周五某个时候提交该等动议——显然，受托人 Despins，越早越好，因为书记官办公室的工作人员，您知道，会在周五——您知道，他们通常在下午结束工作。\n\n案号 22-50073，文件 1890，提交日期 06/07/23，录入日期 06/07/23 12:53:48，第 13 页，共 23 页\n\n如果您在周五5点提交文件，可能要到周一才会被审阅。因此，您在周五越早提交，就越有可能作出准许加快听证会的命令，并将听证会定于27日中午举行。但是——显然——这些文件必须先行提交。\n\nDESPINS 先生：但我相信，加快审理的动议可以在周五5点之前很早提交。实际的出售动议可能需要稍长一些时间，但加快审理的动议可以在周五5点之前很久提交。\n\nKINDSETH 先生：法官阁下，显然，这些动议应当一并提交，以便我们能够获悉出售程序中究竟发生了什么；我想指出的是，该出售程序并未获得法庭预先批准。没有出售程序动议，也没有出售程序命令。这将是我们首次听到——\n\n法庭：不需要出售程序动议或命令，Kindseth（金德塞思）律师。\n\nKINDSETH 先生：我明白。我们将首次看到它。因此，关于实体动议的加快审理动议应当一并提交。\n\n法庭：嗯，这可能是您的立场，因此等到动议提交时，我们再看会发生什么。\n\nDESPINS 先生：法官阁下，我认为我们可以——我们本不想这样做，但如果我们在周五提交，\n\n1　如果异议截止日期是周五，即23日，那就是21\n\n2　天。因此，我们就这样定下来，我们将不得不\n\n3　在周末期间等开展工作。听证会将在\n\n4　27日举行，我们将在周日晚上提交答复，或者\n\n5　诸如此类。\n\n6　但是任何答复都将会——需要提交——我们将\n\n7　在周日晚上提交。这样一来，就不会缩短\n\n8　任何期限，因此 Kindseth 先生无需对此\n\n9　担忧。\n\n10　不过，我们只是想确保——而且我\n\n11　认为您刚刚确认您27日有空，\n\n12　那就太好了。我们将在27日开始。\n\n法庭：我们将开始——假定您提交文件，听证会将定于6月27日——\n\n假定您在6月2日星期五之前提交所有文件，\n\n听证会将定于6月27日中午举行，并且如有必要，\n\n我们将继续至6月28日。\n\nDESPINS 先生：谢谢您，法官阁下。\n\n法庭：好吗？\n\nDESPINS 先生：我想提及的另一件事，\n\n虽然不在议程上，但却是今天上午刚刚出现的事情，\n\n确实如此，我们通过法庭书记员提交了一份\n\n修订后的紧急命令拟稿。这是您已经\n\n修改过四五次的命令，涉及\n\nSherry Netherland（雪莉荷兰人酒店）——进入雪莉荷兰人酒店的权限。\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.（菲奥雷记录与转录服务公司）\n\n而且您会记得，我有意没有将自己列为有权进入该公寓的人。我想避免任何担忧或指称，即在调查进行期间，我以某种方式前往现场，因此我将自己排除在外，而且从未去过该公寓。但现在我因各种原因需要前往该公寓，包括我们今天上午发现，在其中一间女佣房的壁橱内有艺术品；该艺术品可能具有价值，而我——我需要今天前往取回它，并确保其受到妥善保护。因此，我们请求法官阁下使该命令失效，而 Bongartz（邦加茨）先生已通过电子邮件提交了一份命令草案，该草案将允许受托人前往该公寓；显然，我们将对所有物品拍照。雪莉荷兰人酒店已经拍过照片，且是他们今天上午发现了此事，因此我们请求法庭修改该命令，允许我们进入该处所取回艺术品；时间将证明它是否具有任何价值，但如果它有价值，就需要受到保护。它不能留在女佣房内。\n\n法庭：雪莉荷兰人酒店今天上午发现了它？您是这个意思吗？\n\nDESPINS 先生：是的，法官阁下。\n\nFiore Reporting and Transcription Service, Inc.（菲奥雷记录与转录服务公司）\n\n法庭：所以他们——\n\nDESPINS 先生：情况是这样的：有三套公寓。有第18层。火灾就发生在那里。还有另外两套公寓——显然在这栋楼里是这样的——通常当您拥有大公寓时，您可以购买一居室或类似单间公寓的房间，基本上是给您的工作人员居住。有两套这样的房间随第18层公寓一同购得，但位于不同楼层。因此，您不必经过第18层才能到那里。一套位于22层，另一套位于雪莉荷兰人酒店的7层，而雪莉荷兰人酒店从未——您知道，嗯，我相信他们曾在某个时候进入过，但最近没有，自火灾以来没有。我今天上午告诉他们，他们应当前去看看这些公寓里有什么，他们随后告诉我那里有艺术品。他们向我发送了那些物品的照片，我仅凭看照片不知道其价值，但当然，我的职责是确保其安全。我们不能把它留在女佣房内。\n\n法庭：嗯，它现在不是安全的吗？我的意思是，谁可以进入——我并不是在暗示——我只是想了解。什么——\n\nDESPINS 先生：我——\n\n案号 22-50073，文件 1890，提交日期 06/07/23，录入日期 06/07/23 12:53:48，第 17 页，共 23 页\n\n法庭：——谁目前可以进入该区域？\n\nDESPINS 先生：没有人，因为您已作出的命令涵盖第18层和另外两套公寓。因此，理论上，任何人都不应当进入那里，理论上如此。但我不——我不想在此夸大其词，但我们有可靠信息表明，Kwok（郭文贵）先生过去购买过价值数百万美元的艺术品。我们不知道那些艺术品在哪里，但如果这属于其中一部分，我确实认为将其留在那里的处所是不明智的；并不是说我对前往雪莉荷兰人酒店取这些东西有任何兴趣，但我知道，如果它具有价值，就需要受到保护。至于谁拥有它以及诸如此类的问题，可以以后再确定。目前，它需要放在任何人均无法进入的地方。\n\n法庭：拟议命令是否表明这将如何进行？\n\nDESPINS 先生：没有，只是——它只是说我有权前往该公寓；该公寓被界定为第18层以及另外两间女佣住处，如果您愿意这样称呼的话。我打算今天下午前往那里，并将艺术品带回我们的办公室。\n\nKINDSETH 先生：法官阁下，我可以发言吗？\n\n法庭：可以。\n\nKINDSETH 先生：那么我想，法官阁下，为记录起见，鉴于这一披露，我此时将代表 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）先生出庭。我的建议是——而且我认为这能保护财产、受托人和其他可能主张权益的当事人。如果受托人能够传阅一份清单，列明雪莉荷兰人酒店工作人员告知其存在的物品，至少我们将拥有——而且我知道物品识别可能并不清楚，但他说他有照片。也许他可以共享一整套照片。因此，至少——在有任何进一步进入之前——会有一份记录，并且该记录将发送给我，或许也发送给美国受托人办公室。在他进入——进入并取回该财产之前，将有一份关于我们在此所谈事项的记录。\n\nDESPINS 先生：我很乐意这样做，法官阁下。我们有雪莉荷兰人酒店提供的照片。我很乐意分享。而且我说过，我不想——我不——我对艺术一无所知。或者至少，我对昂贵艺术品一无所知。这可能是——这可能是垃圾，也可能值些钱。因此，我认为谨慎处理此事很重要。\n\nKINDSETH 先生：我们尊重受托人在这方面的观点。我们只是试图建立一份清单。\n\nDESPINS 先生：没问题，法官阁下。完全没问题。\n\n法庭：好的。\n\nDESPINS 先生：而且我可以说，雪莉荷兰人酒店已经告诉我，其中一件物品已经损坏，意思是当他们——当他们——当他们打开女佣住处的壁橱时，可以听到玻璃——您知道，它们都用保鲜膜——不是保鲜膜。它们用气泡膜包着，他们可以听到玻璃——您知道——在里面移动。所以——但我们在取走所有物品时都会录像，也会在前往那里之前将照片发送给 Kindseth 先生。\n\n法庭：嗯，我还没有看到您所说的命令，而且您说它所做的只是修改现有命令，以允许您进入；Kwok 先生的律师并不反对。对吗？\n\nDESPINS 先生：对。它所做的仅此而已。它没有谈及接管任何物品。我将自行处理，但它只是授权进入该公寓；在该命令被作出的情况下，我无法进入。\n\n案号 22-50073 文件 1890 提交日期 06/07/23 登记日期

Netherland（谢里荷兰人酒店）不让您进入？DESPINS先生：正确。而且他们是对的。他们是正确的。他们——法院：不，不，我明白。我只是问——DESPINS先生：他们正在执行该命令。法院：——我只是问这个问题。我面前没有任何——DESPINS先生：是的，他们有。法院：——可供查阅的材料，所以我只是问这个问题。DESPINS先生：基本上，他们是在执行法官阁下先前作出的命令。正如我之前所说，我当初是有意没有列在那份名单上的。既然自火灾以来已经过去一个月了，公寓内的法医调查已经完全结束，因此不存在——不存在进入公寓的问题，所以这就是为什么我觉得可以放心这样做并取回艺术品；我们将确定其价值，如有价值的话。法院：好的。那么，在有人将该命令提请我注意时，我当然会看一看。我的意思是，现在您已经告诉我们了，所以我们会找到它并查看\n\n它。DESPINS先生：谢谢，法官阁下。法院：好的。谢谢。DESPINS先生：从受托人的角度来看，今天我们就这些事项陈述完毕。再次感谢各位抽出时间。我们非常感谢。法院：好的。不客气。那么我们将看看周五提交什么文件，并将据此处理；我们还将等待一项关于进入 Sherry Netherland 公寓的命令，即对该命令的修改。好吗？DESPINS先生：谢谢，法官阁下。法院：好的。那么今天的本次状态会议至此结束，这也是今天最后一项待审事项，因此现在休庭。DESPINS先生：谢谢。书记员：现在休庭。CLAIBORN女士：谢谢。（庭审程序于下午 2:02 结束。）\n\n1　本人，CHRISTINE
