(Jointly Administered)\n\n## **MOTION TO PERMIT COUNSEL FOR TAURUS FUND LLC TO APPEAR REMOTELY AT THE APRIL 22, 2025 HEARING AND STATUS CONFERENCE**\n\nTaurus Fund LLC (\"Taurus\") moves to allow their counsel, Michael T. Conway to appear remotely via the Court's Zoom platform at the expedited hearing on the Trustee's second motion to increase cap on funding expenses of the Mahwah Mansion (the \"Motion\") and the main case status conference (\"Status Conference\"), both currently set for April 22, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., prevailing eastern time.\n\n1. As this Court is aware, Taurus is a defendant in an adversary proceeding dealing with the Mahwah Mansion at issue in the Motion [ECF No. 4299]. Taurus takes no position with respect to the Motion, but thought this Court may have questions for counsel and therefore seeks to be present for this purpose.\n\n2. Also, in response to the *Request of Chapter 11 Trustee for Status Conference*  asking for a status conference to \"advise the Court regarding developments relevant to these\n\nChapter 11 Cases, including without limitation, developments in other proceedings (*e.g*., those pending outside of the United States) that may impact these cases\" [ECF No. 4303], the Court entered an Order [ECF No. 4317] setting the Status Conference.\n\n3. As a defendant in a pending adversary proceeding, Taurus may have an interest in matters to be reported by the Trustee.\n\n4. The undersigned is not available to attend the Motion or the Status Conference in person due to a commitment in another matter pending in New York later the same afternoon, but wishes to be available as stated above in case the Court has questions for him, as well as to monitor the Status Conference on behalf of Taurus. Given the foregoing, Taurus respectfully requests that the Court permit Mr. Conway to participate via the Court's Zoom platform.\n\nWHEREFORE, Taurus respectfully requests that the Court allow Mr. Conway to attend the Status Conference remotely via the Court's Zoom platform.\n\nDated: April 21, 2025 New York, New York\n\n## LAZARE POTTER GIACOVAS & MOYLE LLP\n\nBy: /s/ Michael T.
