Goldman of Pullman & Comley, LLC (\"P&C\") to appear remotely on behalf of the Committee at the continued hearing currently scheduled for Tuesday, October 4, 2022. In support of the Motion, the Committee respectfully states as follows:\n\n## **JURISDICTION AND VENUE**\n\n1. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Court\") has jurisdiction over this Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. Venue is proper in this District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2), and the Court may enter a final order consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution. The statutory bases for the relief sought herein are section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 1001.\n\n<sup>1</sup> The Debtor is known by the following names: Guo Wengui; Miles Guo; Miles Kwok; and Ho Wan Kwok.\n\n#### **BACKGROUND AND REQUESTED RELIEF**\n\n2. On September 28, 2022, this Court granted the *Motion to Expedite Hearing*  concerning the *Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee for Entry of Protective Order* [ECF Nos. 875, 875, and 888] and scheduled the hearing for October 4, 2022 at 12 p.m. (the \"Hearing\").\n\n3. Attorney Goldman, counsel to the Committee, respectfully requests permission to attend the Hearing via the Court's [ZOOM.Gov](htt) platform.\n\n4. Given that the Hearing concerns a single motion filed by the chapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") as to which the Committee has filed no response, and considering further, based on the recent filing of a limited objection by the Debtor indicating that the Debtor and the Trustee are in the process of working out a consensual order or are at least attempting to narrow the issues (ECF No. 905), and in the interest of minimizing the professional fees incurred in this case, the Committee submits that permitting Attorney Goldman to appear at the Hearing remotely via the [ZOOM.Gov](htt) platform and be heard on behalf of the Committee comports with Bankruptcy Rule 1001 and promotes the just, speedy and inexpensive administration of this case and the matters before the Court.\n\n### **CONCLUSION**\n\nBecause (i) the Hearing does not concern papers filed by the Committee, (ii) the Hearing concerns a matter which the Trustee can ably pursue on behalf of the estate and as to which the Committee can expediently express its views just as effectively via remote Zoom appearance, and (iii) the principal parties are attempting to work out a consensual order and/or are narrowing the\n\nissues, the Committee respectfully requests that Attorney Goldman be permitted to appear remotely before this Court on October 4, 2022 at 12:00 p.m.\n\n# Dated: Bridgeport, Connecticut **OFFICIAL COMMITTEE OF UNSECURED** October 3, 2022 **CREDITORS OF HO WAN KWOK**\n\nBy: */s/Irve J.

Goldman 律师代表委员会远程出席目前定于 2022 年 10 月 4 日（星期二）举行的继续听证会。为支持本动议，委员会谨陈述如下：\n\n管辖权与审理地\n\n1. 根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 及 1334，United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格区破产法院，下称“本法院”）对本动议拥有管辖权。根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 及 1409，本审理地在本区是适当的。本事项属于 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2) 含义内的核心程序，且本法院可做出符合《美国宪法》第三条的最终裁定。本动议所寻求救济的法定依据为《破产法》第 105(a) 条及《破产规则》第 1001 条。\n\n1 债务人已知姓名包括：Guo Wengui（郭文贵）、Miles Guo、Miles Kwok 以及 Ho Wan Kwok。\n\n背景及所请求的救济\n\n2. 2022 年 9 月 28 日，本法院批准了关于第 11 章受托人申请做出保护令的动议 [ECF 编号 875、875 及 888] 的加快听证动议，并将听证会定于 2022 年 10 月 4 日中午 12 时举行（下称“听证会”）。\n\n3. 委员会的代理律师 Goldman 律师谨请求允许通过法院的 [ZOOM.Gov] 平台参加听证会。\n\n4. 鉴于听证会仅涉及第 11 章受托人（下称“受托人”）提交的一项动议，委员会对此未提交任何答复；且进一步考虑到，根据债务人最近提交的有限异议表明债务人与受托人正在协商达成一致裁定，或至少正在努力缩小争议范围（ECF 编号 905）；并且为了尽量减少本案中发生的专业费用，委员会认为，允许 Goldman 律师通过 [ZOOM.Gov] 平台远程出席听证会并代表委员会陈述意见，符合《破产规则》第 1001 条，并有利于促进本案及本法院审理事项获得公正、迅速且廉价的处理。\n\n结论\n\n由于 (i) 听证会不涉及委员会提交的文件，(ii) 听证会涉及受托人能够代表破产财团妥善推进的事项，且委员会通过远程 Zoom 出席可以同样有效地适时表达其意见，以及 (iii) 主要各方正在努力达成一致裁定和/或正在缩小争议范围，委员会谨请求允许 Goldman 律师于 2022 年 10 月 4 日中午 12:00 远程出庭本法院。\n\n日期：康涅狄格州布里奇波特\n2022 年 10 月 3 日\nOFFICIAL COMMITTEE OF UNSECURED CREDITORS OF HO WAN KWOK（郭文贵官方无担保债权人委员会）\n\n签署人：/s/Irve J.
