DESPINS AS CHAPTER 11 TRUSTEE OR THE TRUSTEE'S APPLICATION TO EMPLOY PAUL HASTINGS LLP AS COUNSEL**\n\nChapter 11 Trustee Luc A. Despins (the \"Trustee\"), in the above-captioned chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") of the debtor (the \"Debtor\"), by and through his undersigned proposed counsel, pursuant to Rule 9006(c)(1) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the \"Bankruptcy Rules\"), hereby moves (the \"Motion to Expedite\") this Court for an order scheduling an expedited hearing to consider and determine the *Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee for Entry of Order, Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 9014(c) and 9016, Quashing Subpoenas and Confirming that Debtor Is Not Entitled To Discovery in Connection with Debtor's Motion for Relief from Order Appointing Luc A. Despins as Chapter 11 Trustee or the Trustee's Motion to Employ Paul Hastings LLP as Counsel* [Docket No. 608] (the \"Motion to Quash\") and for entry of a bridge\n\n1 Although the Debtor's legal name is Ho Wan Kwok, he is also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases. The last four digits of the Debtor's taxpayer identification number are 9595.\n\norder granting temporary relief pending such hearing. In support of his Motion to Expedite, 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 over 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 (as amended). The Motion to Quash, including this Motion to Expedite with respect thereto, is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b).\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 to Expedite is Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c)(1).\n\n### **BACKGROUND**\n\n4. On February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), the Debtor filed with the Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (such title, hereinafter, the \"Bankruptcy Code\").\n\n5. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Debtor's Chapter 11 Case. No examiner has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n6. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [ECF No. 465] (the \"Trustee Order\") directing the United States Trustee (the \"U.S. Trustee\") to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee.\n\n7. On July 7, 2022, the U.S. Trustee filed its *Application for Order Approving Appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee* (the \"Appointment Application\") together with the *Declaration of Disinterestedness of Luc A. Despins* (the \"Trustee Declaration\") [Docket No. 515]. The Court held a hearing (the \"Hearing\") on the Appointment Application on July 8, 2022, which was attended by, *inter alia*, Debtor's counsel (then, Brown Rudnick LLP (\"Brown Rudnick\")) and counsel for HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC (\"HK International\") and Mei Guo, the Debtor's daughter (Zeisler & Zeisler, P.C. (\"Z&Z\")).\n\n8. No parties objected to the Appointment Application or requested discovery with respect thereto prior to or at the Hearing, and, thereafter, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case [ECF No. 523] (the \"Appointment Order\").\n\n9. On July 12, 2022, the Trustee filed his *First Supplemental Declaration of Disinterestedness* [Docket No. 538] and *Application Authorizing and Approving Retention and Employment of Paul Hastings LLP as Counsel to the Chapter 11 Trustee* [Docket No. 539] (the \"PH Retention Application\").\n\n10. On July 13, 2022, Brown Rudnick moved to withdraw as the Debtor's counsel [Docket No. 543] (the \"Motion to Withdraw\"). On July 14, 2022, attorneys from Z&Z filed appearances for the Debtor. [Docket Nos. 550-553.]\n\n11. On July 15, 2022, the Debtor filed his *Motion for Relief from Order Appointing Luc A. Despins as Chapter 11 Trustee* [Docket No. 561] (the \"60(b) Motion\"), seeking relief from the Court's Appointment Order. On July 20, 2022, the Trustee filed his objection to the Debtor's 60(b) Motion [Docket No. 575] (the \"60(b) Objection\").\n\n3\n\n12. The Court held a status conference on July 21, 2022 (the \"Status Conference\"), for the Trustee to advise the Court and parties-in-interest concerning his administration of the Estate to date, and to discuss the Motion to Withdraw, the PH Retention Application, and the 60(b) Motion.\n\n13. At the Status Conference, the Debtor's counsel repeatedly stated the Debtor's intention to take discovery on the 60(b) Motion and the PH Retention Application. The Court was crystal clear that such discovery would not be permitted, including during the following exchange between the Court and Debtor's counsel, which occurred between 2:05:45 – 2:06:45 on the audio recording of the Status Conference:2\n\n| | THE COURT: | I'm not allowing you to take any discovery before I rule on
the 60(b)
Motion. | | |\n|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--|--|\n| | MR. HENZY: | And on the Paul Hastings Retention application? | | |\n| | THE COURT: | And on the Paul Hastings Retention application. | | |\n| | MR. HENZY: | Ok. So you're ruling that today? | | |\n| | THE COURT: | That is correct. There is going to be no discovery … That's
not going to happen. We'll have a hearing. We'll hear your
matter … If I rule against you, then you'll appeal. | | |\n| | | …. | | |\n| | THE COURT: | I'm telling you if you seek discovery before I rule on these
matters, then I'm not going to make the other side comply. | | |\n| | 14. | Following the Status Conference, the Court scheduled a hearing with respect to the | | |\n| Motion to Withdraw, the PH Retention Application, and the 60(b) Motion,
for Monday, August 1, | | | | |\n| | | | | |\n\n2022 [Docket No. 596].\n\n2 The Trustee has ordered a transcript of the Status Conference on an expedited basis.\n\n15. On the afternoon of July 22, 2022, the Debtor served Paul Hastings LLP (\"Paul Hastings\") with a *Subpoena Duces Tecum* and attached *Schedule A* requiring production of documents by 9 a.m. on July 26, 2022, and a *Subpoena to Testify at Deposition*, demanding that Paul Hastings provide a witness to testify at a deposition at 10:00 a.m. on July 28, 2022 (collectively, the \"Subpoenas\").\n\n# **THE MOTION TO QUASH**3\n\n16. By the Motion to Quash, the Trustee seeks entry of an order quashing the Subpoenas and confirming that the Debtor may not serve discovery on the 60(b) Motion or the PH Retention Application.\n\n17. **Notwithstanding this Court's prior direction to the contrary, the Debtor is seeking to undertake discovery prior to the hearing scheduled for August 1, 2022. The Debtor has demanded document production from the Trustee's proposed counsel, Paul Hastings, upon one business day's notice,** *i.e.***, by Tuesday, July 26, 2022, at 9 a.m., and seeks to depose Paul Hastings two days later.**\n\n#### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n18. Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c)(1) provides that the Court may reduce the notice period when requested by motion upon cause shown. Cause exists to consider and determine the Motion to Quash upon an expedited basis. The Trustee respectfully requests that the Court schedule a hearing (the \"Hearing\") with respect to the Motion to Quash to be held Monday, August 1, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. (noon), *i.e.*, at the same time as the hearing set for the 60(b) Motion and the PH Retention Application.\n\n3 The following summary of the relief sought in the Motion to Quash is qualified in its entirety by the Motion to Quash.\n\n19. Pending a Hearing on the Motion to Quash, the Trustee requests that the Court order relief on an interim basis, in the form of a bridge order, providing that Paul Hastings need not respond to the Subpoenas and that the Debtor shall not serve discovery on the 60(b) Motion or the PH Retention Application, pending the Hearing.\n\n20. Finally, the Trustee requests that the Court direct that notice of the Motion to Quash and the Court's order granting this Motion to Expedite and scheduling a hearing, be served on all parties-in-interest appearing in the Chapter 11 Case qualified to receive electronic notice via the Court's CM/ECF service, as well as the Debtor, the Committee, and the U.S. Trustee.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\nWHEREFORE, the Trustee requests that the Court issue an Order, substantially in the form attached hereto, setting a Hearing on the Motion to Quash on August 1, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. (noon), providing that Paul Hastings need not respond to the Subpoenas and that the Debtor shall not serve discovery on the 60(b) Motion or the PH Retention Application, pending the Hearing, ordering notice of such Hearing as set forth in the attached Order, and ordering such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.\n\nDated: July 25, 2022 LUC A.

Despins（下称“受托人”）通过其下列署名的拟聘律师，依据《联邦破产程序规则》（下称“《破产程序规则》”）第 9006(c)(1) 条，特此向本法院提出动议（下称“加快动议”），请求本法院作出裁定，安排加快听证以审理并裁决《第 11 章受托人依据〈破产程序规则〉第 9014(c) 和 9016 条请求作出撤销传票并确认债务人无权就其请求撤销任命 Luc A.

Despins 为受托人。\n\n7. 2022年7月7日，美国受托人提交了其《请求批准指定第 11 章受托人之裁定的申请》（下称“任命申请”）以及《Luc A. Despins 利害无关性声明》（下称“受托人声明”）[Docket No. 515]。本法院于 2022年7月8日 就任命申请举行了听证会（下称“听证会”），债务人当时的律师（Brown Rudnick LLP，下称“Brown Rudnick”）、HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（下称“HK International”）及债务人之女 Mei Guo 的律师（Zeisler & Zeisler, P.C.，下称“Z&Z”）等人出席了该听证会。\n\n8. 在听证会之前或听证会上，没有任何当事方对任命申请提出异议，亦未就此请求证据开示；此后，本法院作出了批准在第 11 章案件中指定 Luc A. Despins 为受托人的裁定 [ECF No. 523]（下称“任命裁定”）。\n\n9. 2022年7月12日，受托人提交了其《第一份补充利害无关性声明》[Docket No. 538] 以及《授权并批准聘请及任用 Paul Hastings LLP 作为第 11 章受托人律师的申请》[Docket No. 539]（下称“PH 聘请申请”）。\n\n10. 2022年7月13日，Brown Rudnick 提出动议请求撤销担任债务人的律师 [Docket No. 543]（下称“撤销代理动议”）。2022年7月14日，来自 Z&Z 的律师提交了代表债务人出庭的通知。[Docket Nos. 550-553.]\n\n11. 2022年7月15日，债务人提交了其《请求撤销任命 Luc A. Despins 为第 11 章受托人之裁定的动议》[Docket No. 561]（下称“60(b) 动议”），请求免受本法院任命裁定的约束。2022年7月20日，受托人提交了对债务人 60(b) 动议的异议 [Docket No. 575]（下称“60(b) 异议”）。\n\n12. 本法院于 2022年7月21日 举行了案情通报会（下称“案情通报会”），以便受托人就其迄今为止对破产财产的管理情况向本法院和利害关系方通报，并讨论撤销代理动议、PH 聘请申请以及 60(b) 动议。\n\n13. 在案情通报会上，债务人的律师反复陈述债务人意图就 60(b) 动议和 PH 聘请申请进行证据开示。本法院极为明确地表示不允许进行此类证据开示，包括在案情通报会录音第 2:05:45 至 2:06:45 期间本法院与债务人律师之间的以下对话：2\n\n法官：在我对 60(b) 动议作出裁决之前，我不会允许你进行任何证据开示。\n\nHENZY 先生：那在 Paul Hastings 聘请申请上呢？\n法官：在 Paul Hastings 聘请申请上也不行。\nHENZY 先生：好的。所以您今天就这样裁决了吗？\n法官：没错。不会有任何证据开示……那是不可能的。我们将举行听证会。我们会审理你的事项……如果我作出了对你不利的裁决，那么你去上诉就是了。\n……\n法官：我告诉你，如果你在我对这些事项作出裁决之前寻求证据开示，我是不会强制对方配合的。\n\n14. 案情通报会结束后，本法院确定于 2022年8月1日（星期一）就撤销代理动议、PH 聘请申请和 60(b) 动议举行听证会 [Docket No. 596]。\n\n2 受托人已以加急方式订购了案情通报会的逐字记录。\n\n15. 2022年7月22日 下午，债务人向 Paul Hastings LLP（下称“Paul Hastings”）送达了一份附有附表 A 的《传票（调取文件）》，要求在 2022年7月26日 上午9点 前出示文件，以及一份《出庭作证传票》，要求 Paul Hastings 指定一名证人于 2022年7月28日 上午10:00 出庭接受宣誓采证（合称“传票”）。\n\n撤销动议3\n\n16. 通过撤销动议，受托人请求作出裁定撤销传票，并确认债务人不得就 60(b) 动议或 PH 聘请申请送达证据开示请求。\n\n17. 尽管本法院此前作出了相反的指示，债务人仍试图在原定于 2022年8月1日 举行的听证会之前进行证据开示。债务人要求受托人的拟聘律师 Paul Hastings 在提前一个工作日通知的情况下出示文件，即在 2022年7月26日（星期二）上午9点 前出示，并试图在两天后对 Paul Hastings 进行宣誓采证。\n\n请求的救济\n\n18. 《破产程序规则》第 9006(c)(1) 条规定，经动议申请并说明理由后，本法院可以缩短通知期限。以加急程序审理并裁决撤销动议具有充分理由。受托人谨请求本法院安排于 2022年8月1日（星期一）中午12:00 就撤销动议举行听证会（下称“听证会”），即与 60(b) 动议和 PH 聘请申请所定听证会的时间相同。\n\n3 以下对撤销动议所寻求救济的概述完全受撤销动议全文的约束与限制。\n\n19. 在撤销动议听证会举行之前，受托人请求本法院以过渡裁定的形式给予临时救济，规定在听证会举行之前，Paul Hastings 无需对传票作出答复，且债务人不得就 60(b) 动议或 PH 聘请申请送达证据开示请求。\n\n20. 最后，受托人请求本法院指示将撤销动议以及本法院准许本加快动议并安排听证会的裁定的通知，送达给在第 11 章案件中出庭且有资格通过本法院 CM/ECF 服务接收电子通知的所有利害关系方，以及债务人、委员会和美国受托人。\n\n[本页其余部分有意留白。]\n\n为此，受托人请求本法院作出实质上采用本动议附件形式的裁定，确定于 2022年8月1日 中午12:00 就撤销动议举行听证会，规定在听证会举行之前，Paul Hastings 无需对传票作出答复，且债务人不得就 60(b) 动议或 PH 聘请申请送达证据开示请求，按下附裁定所列方式下令送达该听证会的通知，并下令给予本法院认为公正和适当的其他及进一步的救济。\n\n日期：2022年7月25日\n康涅狄格州纽黑文\n\nLUC A.
