The Motion is granted as set forth herein.\n\n2. The Court hereby orders that the following procedures (the \"Avoidance Action\n\nProcedures\") shall govern the Avoidance Actions (as defined herein):\n\na. The Avoidance Action Procedures shall apply to any adversary proceedings commenced by the Trustee on or after February 1, 2024, in which the Trustee asserts claims solely under sections 544, 547, 548, 549, and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code (the \"Avoidance Actions\").\n\nb. Upon filing a complaint commencing any Avoidance Action (an \"Avoidance Complaint\"), the Trustee shall file a Notice of Applicability of Avoidance Action Procedures in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as **Exhibit 1** (the \"Avoidance Action Procedures Notice\"). The Trustee shall serve a copy of the Avoidance Action Procedures Notice on each defendant in an Avoidance Action (an \"Avoidance Defendant\") in the same manner as the Summons and Avoidance Complaint.\n\nc. Motions affecting all Avoidance Actions shall be filed in the Main Case only, *provided, however,* notice of such motions and notice of any orders resolving such motions shall be filed on the docket in the Avoidance Actions. Any responses to such motions shall be filed in the Main Case only.\n\nd. To the extent that an Avoidance Complaint (including exhibits) contains information that is designated confidential or highly confidential pursuant to the Protective Order [Main Case ECF No. 923] (the \"Protective Order\") and the Stipulated Addendum to Protective Order [Main Case ECF No. 2460] (the \"P.O. Addendum\"), the Trustee may file the Avoidance Complaint under seal (a \"Sealed Avoidance Complaint\"), provided, however, the Trustee shall file unsealed a copy of the Avoidance Complaint that redacts any information that is designated confidential or highly confidential (a \"Redacted Avoidance Complaint\"). Service of a Redacted Avoidance Complaint shall constitute sufficient service of a complaint as required by Bankruptcy Rule 7004. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Protective Order and the P.O. Addendum, upon any Avoidance Defendant and its counsel each executing copies of Exhibit A to the Protective\n\nOrder and, if applicable, Exhibit A to the P.O. Addendum, the Trustee may provide a copy of the unredacted Avoidance Complaint to such Avoidance Defendant.\n\ne. An Avoidance Defendant's time to respond to any Avoidance Complaint (the \"Response Date\") shall be sixty (60) days from the date that service is effected on such Avoidance Defendant, *provided, however*, that, without further order of the Court, the Trustee and any Avoidance Defendant may stipulate to further extend the defendant's Response Date up to ninety (90) additional days. Any such stipulation shall be made in writing and filed on the docket in the applicable adversary proceeding.\n\nf. In the event that any Avoidance Defendant responds to an Avoidance Complaint by filing a motion pursuant to Civil Rule 12(b), the Trustee shall have sixty (60) days to respond to such motion.\n\ng. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, no initial pretrial conference pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7016 will be held prior to discovery in any Avoidance Action and, accordingly, the Summons issued by the Clerk of the Court and served by the Trustee will not include a date for a pretrial conference. To the extent that a party to an Avoidance Action believes that a pretrial conference is necessary to address scheduling or other issues, any party may request such a conference at any time by filing a request on the docket in the Avoidance Action.\n\nh. As soon as practicable following the Response Date, the parties shall confer pursuant to Civil Rule 26(f) (the \"Initial Case Conference\") and, thereafter, the parties shall either file a joint proposed scheduling order governing discovery, summary judgment, and other pretrial proceedings, subject to Court approval. If the Court does not approve the joint proposed scheduling order, the Court shall schedule a pretrial conference to determine a scheduling order. If the parties do not agree on a joint proposed scheduling order, the parties shall request a pretrial conference to determine a scheduling order.\n\ni. Any party to an Avoidance Action may request that the Avoidance Action Procedures be modified as applied in such Avoidance Action for good cause shown. Such modification shall be requested by motion filed in the applicable Avoidance Action.\n\n3. The time periods set forth in this Order and the Avoidance Action Procedures shall be calculated in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a).\n\n4. To the extent that information in an Avoidance Complaint (or its exhibits) may be subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, et al., this Order constitutes an order of a court of competent jurisdiction authorizing the disclosure of such information to any Avoidance Defendant and its counsel, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b)(11) and 12 C.F.R § 310.10(b). This Order also amends the Protective Order and the P.O. Addendum to permit the Trustee, to the extent\n\nprovided in the Avoidance Action Procedures, to disclose to any Avoidance Defendant information in an Avoidance Complaint (filed against such defendant) that is designated as highly confidential under the Protective Order or the P.O. Addendum.\n\n5. The Court retains jurisdiction with respect to all matters arising from or related to the implementation of this Order.\n\n6. This Order shall be effective immediately upon entry.\n\n## **EXHIBIT 1**\n\n**(Form Notice of Applicability of Avoidance Action Procedures)**\n\n| -----------------------------------------------------------                                                                        |            | x                                                                            |\n|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| In re:                                                                                                                             |            | :<br>:<br>Chapter 11                                                         |\n| 1<br>HO WAN KWOK,<br>et al.,                                                                                                       |            | :<br>:<br>Case No. 22-50073 (JAM)                                            |\n|                                                                                                                                    | Debtors.   | :<br>:<br>(Jointly Administered)<br>:                                        |\n| -----------------------------------------------------------<br>LUC A.

Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）提出的动议（下称「该动议」）[2]，申请根据《美国法典》第 11 编（下称「《破产法典》」）第 105(a) 条、《联邦破产诉讼规则》（下称「《破产规则》」）第 7016、7026 和 9006 条，以及《康涅狄格区地方破产诉讼规则》（下称「《地方破产规则》」）第 7016-1 条作出裁定（下称「本裁定」），确立适用于与上述第 11 章案件相关的撤销权索赔对席诉讼的若干程序；且本法院根据 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，对审理该动议及其中请求的救济享有管辖权；且根据 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)，审理该动议及其中请求的救济属于核心程序；且根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 和 1409，本法院为适当地点；且法院认定该动议中\n\n1 这些第 11 章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵，亦称郭文贵、Miles Guo 和 Miles Kwok，以及其他众多化名）（税务识别号后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（税务识别号后四位：8202）及 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 和 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP（普衡律师事务所）, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 转交 Ho Wan Kwok 破产财产受托人 Luc A. Despins（仅用于接收通知和联络之目的）。\n\n2 本裁定中使用但未另行定义的大写术语具有该动议赋予其的含义。\n\n请求的救济符合债务人的第 11 章破产财产、其债权人及所有利害关系方的最大利益；且在特定情况下已就该动议发出了充分且适当的通知；且看似无需再发出其他或进一步的通知；并在审查了本法院之前进行的所有程序后；且对本文所请求救济的任何异议已被撤回或经实体审理被驳回；经审慎研议并具备充分理由，特此裁定如下：\n\n1. 该动议依本文所述予以批准。\n\n2. 法院特此裁定，以下程序（下称「《撤销之诉程序》」）应规范撤销之诉（定义见本文）：\n\na. 《撤销之诉程序》应适用于受托人在 2024 年 2 月 1 日或之后提起的任何对席诉讼，且受托人在其中仅依据《破产法典》第 544、547、548、549 和 550 条主张权利（下称「撤销之诉」）。\n\nb. 在提交提起任何撤销之诉的起诉状（下称「《撤销起诉状》」）时，受托人应以实质上类似于本文所附附件 1 的格式提交一份《撤销之诉程序适用通知》（下称「《撤销之诉程序通知》」）。受托人应以与传票和《撤销起诉状》相同的方式，向撤销之诉中的每名被告（下称「撤销之诉被告」）送达一份《撤销之诉程序通知》的副本。\n\nc. 影响所有撤销之诉的动议应仅在主案中提交，但是，此类动议的通知以及解决此类动议的任何裁定的通知应在撤销之诉的卷宗中提交。对此类动议的任何答复应仅在主案中提交。\n\nd. 如果《撤销起诉状》（包括附件）包含根据《保护令》［主案 ECF 编号 923］（下称「《保护令》」）及《保护令约定补充协议》［主案 ECF 编号 2460］（下称「《保护令补充协议》」）被指定为机密或高度机密的信息，受托人可将《撤销起诉状》封存提交（下称「《封存撤销起诉状》」），但是，受托人应公开提交一份遮盖了被指定为机密或高度机密的任何信息的《撤销起诉状》副本（下称「《遮盖版撤销起诉状》」）。送达《遮盖版撤销起诉状》应构成《破产规则》第 7004 条所要求的对起诉状的充分送达。尽管《保护令》和《保护令补充协议》中有任何相反规定，在任何撤销之诉被告及其律师各自签署《保护令》附件 A 以及（若适用）《保护令补充协议》附件 A 的副本后，受托人可向该撤销之诉被告提供一份未经遮盖的《撤销起诉状》副本。\n\ne. 撤销之诉被告对任何《撤销起诉状》作出答复的期限（下称「答复日期」）应为向该撤销之诉被告完成送达之日起六十 (60) 日，但是，无需法院进一步裁定，受托人与任何撤销之诉被告可约定将该被告的答复日期进一步延长最多额外九十 (90) 日。任何此类约定应以书面形式作出，并在适用的对席诉讼卷宗中提交。\n\nf. 如果任何撤销之诉被告通过依据《民事规则》第 12(b) 条提交动议的方式对《撤销起诉状》作出答复，受托人应有六十 (60) 日的时间对该动议作出答复。\n\ng. 除非法院另有裁定，否则在任何撤销之诉的证据开示之前，均不得依据《破产规则》第 7016 条举行首次庭前会议，因此，由法院书记官签发并由受托人送达的传票将不包括庭前会议的日期。如果撤销之诉的当事人认为有必要举行庭前会议以解决日程安排或其他问题，任何当事人可随时通过在撤销之诉卷宗中提交申请来请求举行此类会议。\n\nh. 在答复日期后切实可行的最快时间内，当事人应依据《民事规则》第 26(f) 条进行协商（下称「首次案件会议」），此后，当事人应提交一份规范证据开示、简易判决和其他庭前程序的联合拟议日程安排裁定，该裁定须经法院批准。若法院未批准联合拟议日程安排裁定，法院应安排一次庭前会议以确定日程安排裁定。若当事人未能就联合拟议日程安排裁定达成一致，当事人应请求举行庭前会议以确定日程安排裁定。\n\ni. 在撤销之诉中，任何当事人经说明充分理由后，均可申请修改在该撤销之诉中适用的《撤销之诉程序》。此类修改应通过在适用的撤销之诉中提交动议提出申请。\n\n3. 本裁定及《撤销之诉程序》中规定的时间期限应按照《破产规则》第 9006(a) 条计算。\n\n4. 如果《撤销起诉状》（或其附件）中的信息可能受《1974 年隐私法》（5 U.S.C. § 552a 等）的管辖，根据 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b)(11) 及 12 C.F.R § 310.10(b)，本裁定构成具有合效应管辖权的法院作出的批准向任何撤销之诉被告及其律师披露此类信息的命令。本裁定亦对《保护令》和《保护令补充协议》进行修订，以允许受托人在《撤销之诉程序》规定的范围内，向任何撤销之诉被告披露在（针对该被告提起的）《撤销起诉状》中根据《保护令》或《保护令补充协议》被指定为高度机密的信息。\n\n5. 法院保留对因本裁定的执行而产生或与之相关的所有事项的管辖权。\n\n6. 本裁定自签署载入卷宗时起立即生效。\n附件 1\n\n（撤销之诉程序适用通知格式）\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------　x\n\n关于：　:\n:\n第 11 章\n\nHO WAN KWOK（郭文贵）等，　:\n:\n案号：22-50073 (JAM)\n债务人。　:\n:\n（合并审理）\n\nLUC A.
