[2](#page-1-0) In support of this Motion, the Trustee respectfully states as follows:\n\n#### **JURISDICTION, VENUE, AND STATUTORY BASIS**\n\n1. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Court\") has jurisdiction to consider 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.\n\n2. Venue in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n3. The basis for the relief sought by this Motion is Rule 9006(c)(1) of Bankruptcy Rules.\n\n#### **BACKGROUND**\n\n4. Concurrently herewith, the Trustee filed the Protective Order & Privilege Motion seeking modifications to the Protective Order and a limited waiver of the Trustee's attorney-client and work product privileges.\n\n5. For additional background on the Protective Order & Privilege Motion and this Motion, the Trustee refers to, and incorporates by reference, the preliminary statement and statement of facts sections in the accompanying Protective Order & Privilege Motion filed substantially concurrently herewith.\n\n<span id=\"page-1-0\"></span><sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Protective Order & Privilege Motion.\n\n#### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n6. By this Motion, the Trustee respectfully requests the Court schedule a hearing with respect to the Protective Order & Privilege Motion on or before **May 27, 2025** (the \"Hearing\"). Given the proposed expedited schedule, the Trustee proposes setting the response deadline to the Protective Order & Privilege Motion at 12:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on May 23, 2025 (the \"Objection Deadline\"). The Trustee requests that he be permitted to file a reply, if any, by 12:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on May 26, 2025.\n\n#### **BASIS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n7. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c)(1), the Court may reduce the notice period when requested by motion where cause is demonstrated. Cause exists to consider and determine the Protective Order & Privilege Motion on an expedited basis.\n\n8. As discussed in the Protective Order & Privilege Motion and previewed to the Court during the May 13, 2025 status conference in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Trustee has been evaluating the most effective approach to fulfilling his duties and prosecuting actions to recover property of the estate that involve complex foreign law questions and voluminous discovery material. In particular, discovery in the K Legacy Action has been ongoing, and the Trustee has been conferring with BVI Counsel and Counsel in the United Kingdom regarding the interplay between the Trustee's discovery obligations under BVI Law and the Protective Order and Consent Order operative in these Chapter 11 Cases.\n\n9. In advance of a May 16, 2025 deadline to disclose a list of documents the Trustee intends to produce to the defendants in the K Legacy Action, the Trustee has determined, upon the advice of foreign law counsel, that the most prudent approach, at this time, is to seek relief from this Court, such that the Trustee may, if necessary, rely upon Designated Material and/or Privileged Material in prosecuting the K Legacy Action (and possibly other litigation within and outside the United States). The process leading to the Trustee's request for relief involved numerous meetings with BVI counsel and counsel in the United Kingdom. In addition, and in the meantime, the Trustee's local counsel in the BVI has been reviewing thousands of documents in the course of discovery in the K Legacy Action, including arguably responsive documents and information that may be Designated Material or Privileged Material. The Trustee continues to pursue Rule 2004 discovery in the Chapter 11 Cases and has received over 800,000 documents from Rule 2004 parties to date. It is critical that the Trustee has a fair opportunity to utilize the documents and information he has obtained in the course of his investigation into the Debtor's financial affairs, both within and outside of this Court's jurisdiction. Given the upcoming discovery deadlines in the K Legacy Action, the Trustee respectfully requests that the relief sought herein be granted such that he can expeditiously prosecute the K Legacy Action, in accordance with BVI law.\n\n10. It is important that the Court consider the Protective Order & Privilege Motion on an expedited basis so that the Trustee may attempt to take steps to maintain the parties' current litigation schedule in the K Legacy Action, comply with BVI law, and avoid unnecessary harm to the estate due to further delay in the K Legacy Action.\n\n11. By contrast, the parties that have produced documents and information to the Trustee in the course of his investigation of the Debtor's financial affairs and administration of the estate (the \"Producing Parties\") will not be prejudiced by the Court hearing the Protective Order & Privilege Motion on an expedited basis. With respect to the Objection Deadline, the relief requested herein provides more time for Producing Parties to respond to this Motion than, for example, the expedited dispute procedures contemplated under the Consent Order, which provides for responses to a motion regarding a privilege dispute within eight days, and a reply within four\n\ndays thereafter. *See* Consent Order, ¶¶ 7 and 8. Here, the Trustee requests that Producing Parties have ten days to respond to the Protective Order & Privilege Motion and the Trustee be permitted, but not required, to file a reply within three days of the Objection Deadline. Moreover, the Producing Parties should be familiar with the documents and information they produced to the Trustee in the course of his investigation, including the documents that are Designated Material under the Protective Order. The Consent Order governing the Trustee's control of the Trustee Privileges, including the ability to waive such a privilege by Court order, has been in effect for more than two years. Here, the relief requested in the Protective Order & Privilege Motion is narrowly tailored to limit disruption to the status quo as to the Protective Order and Consent Order, and the Trustee submits that the Objection Deadline and proposed Hearing are reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, for all the reasons stated herein, cause exists to grant this Motion.\n\n#### **NO PREVIOUS REQUEST**\n\n12. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made by the Trustee to this or any other court.\n\n#### [*Remainder of page intentionally left blank*]\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Trustee requests that the Court enter an order\n\ngranting the relief requested in this Motion and such other relief as is just and proper.\n\nNew Haven, Connecticut\n\n### Dated: May 13, 2025 LUC A.
