Taurus Fund LLC, et al., Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017 (JAM) (Bankr. D. Conn.)\n\nDear Judge Manning:\n\nAs you know, we are counsel to debtor Ho Won Kwok (\"Debtor\") in the referenced Chapter 11 case. I write in connection with the referenced adversary proceeding commenced by the Chapter 1 1 Trustee in connection with the Chapter 11 case, which concerns a parcel of real property located at 675 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah, New Jersey 07430 (the \"Property\").\n\nIn particular, I write regarding the hearing scheduled today on the Chapter 11 Trustee's motion for the entry of a preliminary injunction regarding the Property. I am advised by the Debtor's criminal counsel that the Property is the subject of numerous allegations made against the Debtor by the United States of America in the criminal case entitled United States v. Ho Wan Kwok, Case No. 23-cr-118-AT (S.D.N.Y.) (the \"Criminal Case\"). We understand that in the instant motion proceeding, the Trustee seeks to take control of and restrict access to the Property pending further activity in the adversary proceeding. To the extent that any preliminary relief the Court may consider that restricts or prohibits the Debtor's access to the Property or otherwise permits the Chapter 11 Trustee to make any changes to the Property or its contents, the Debtor's federal constitutional rights may be adversely affected.\n\nI write to report to Your Honor that the Debtor, through his criminal law counsel, intends to present a motion to United States District Judge Analisa Torres in the Southern District of New York, the presiding judge in the Criminal Case, consistent with the process used previously for the Sherry-Netherland apartment. See In re Ho Wan Kwok Dkt. No. 1687; Criminal Case Dkt. Nos. 72; 77. In so doing, the Debtor intends to seek an order providing continued access to the Property and to prevent any changes to its contents pending resolution of, or further orders in, the Criminal Case.\n\n![](_page_1_Picture_1.jpeg)\n\nHonorable Julie A. Manning August 14, 2023 Page 2\n\nThe Debtor reserves all rights and entitlements under applicable law. We appreciate the Court's consideration.\n\nRespectfully,\n\nEric Henzy (ct12849) Zeisler & Zeisler, P.C. 10 Middle Street, 15th Floor Bridgeport, CT 06604 Telephone: 203-368-4234 X 245 Facsimile: 203-549-0903 Email: ehenzy(@zeislaw.com\n\ncc: Sidhardha Kamaraju, Pryor Cashman LLP, Criminal Counsel for the Debtor","body_zh":"ZEISLER & ZEISLER, P.C.（蔡斯勒律师事务所）\n\n10 Middle Street, 15th Floor Bridgeport, Connecticut 06604 Phone: (203) 368-4234 www.zeislaw.com\n\nEric Henzy（埃里克·亨齐），合伙人 ehenzy@zeislaw.com\n\n2023年8月14日\n\n通过电子邮件及 ECF 送达\nJulie A. Manning（朱莉·A·曼宁）法官阁下\nUnited States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格区联邦破产法院）\n915 Lafayette Boulevard Bridgeport, CT 06604\n事由：关于 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）案，案号 22-50073 (JAM)；Despins 诉 Taurus Fund LLC 等，对抗性诉讼案号 23-05017 (JAM) (Bankr. D. Conn.)\n\n尊敬的曼宁法官：\n\n如阁下所知，我们是在上述第 11 章破产案件中债务人 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（下称「债务人」）的代理律师。我谨就第 11 章受托人就该第 11 章案件所发起的上述对抗性诉讼致信阁下，该诉讼涉及位于 675 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah, New Jersey 07430 的一处不动产（下称「该财产」）。\n\n具体而言，我谨就原定于今日举行的关于第 11 章受托人申请针对该财产作出初步禁令动议的听证会致信。债务人的刑事辩护律师告知我，该财产是在名为 United States v. Ho Wan Kwok，案号 23-cr-118-AT (S.D.N.Y.)（下称「刑事案件」）的刑事诉讼中，United States of America（美利坚合众国）对债务人所作出的多项指控的标的。我们理解，在当前的动议程序中，受托人寻求在对抗性诉讼有进一步进展之前控制并限制对该财产的使用/进入。在法院可能考虑采取任何限制或禁止债务人进入该财产，或以其他方式允许第 11 章受托人对该财产或其内部物品作出任何改动的初步救济的限度内，债务人的联邦宪法权利可能会受到不利影响。\n\n我谨致信向法官阁下报告，债务人打算通过其刑事辩护律师，向刑事案件的主审法官、Southern District of New York（纽约南区）的 United States District Judge Analisa Torres（美国联邦地区法官阿纳丽莎·托雷斯）提出动议，这与此前就 Sherry-Netherland（雪梨荷兰）公寓所采取的程序相一致。参见 In re Ho Wan Kwok 卷宗编号 1687；刑事案件卷宗编号 72；77。在此过程中，债务人打算寻求一项命令，允许其继续使用/进入该财产，并在刑事案件解决或作出进一步裁定之前防止对其内部物品进行任何改动。\n\nJulie A. Manning 法官阁下 2023年8月14日 第 2 页\n\n债务人保留适用法律项下的所有权利和权益。我们感谢法院的考量。\n\n谨启，\n\nEric Henzy (ct12849)\nZeisler & Zeisler, P.C.\n10 Middle Street, 15th Floor Bridgeport, CT 06604\n电话：203-368-4234 分机 245\n传真：203-549-0903\n电子邮件：ehenzy@zeislaw.com\n\n抄送：Sidhardha Kamaraju（悉达多·卡马拉朱），Pryor Cashman LLP（普赖尔·卡什曼律师事务所），债务人的刑事辩护律师","key_entities":["Kwok","Ho Wan Kwok","Je","Despins","Torres","Analisa Torres","Kamaraju","Pryor Cashman"],"ecf_references":[{"doc_number":1687,"court":"CTB"}],"word_count":441,"status":"published","published_at":null,"created_at":null,"updated_at":"2026-08-23 12:13:43"}
