The Motion is granted as set forth herein.\n\n2. Subject to paragraph 5 below, the Subject Adversary Proceedings are hereby stayed pending the conclusion of the criminal trial (the \"Criminal Trial\") in the case captioned *United States of America v.

Following the conclusion of the Criminal Trial, the Trustee shall file a notice of resumption of the Subject Adversary Proceedings in both this Court and in the Criminal Court, upon which filings the stay shall terminate (the period from the entry of this Order until such termination, the \"Stay Period\").\n\n4. Subject to paragraph 5 below, all activity in the Subject Adversary Proceedings shall be stayed and suspended for the duration of the Stay Period, including without limitation the\n\ndeadline for parties to answer or otherwise respond to the applicable complaints.

Despins（吕克·A·德斯平斯）的动议（下称“动议”）4，请求根据《美国法典》第 11 编（下称“《破产法典》”）第 105(a) 条、Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure（《联邦破产诉讼规则》）（下称“《破产规则》”）第 7016 条以及 District of Connecticut Local Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure（《康涅狄格区破产诉讼地方规则》）（下称“《地方破产规则》”）第 7016-1 条作出裁定（下称“本裁定”），在债务人刑事审判结束前中止第 24-5249 号对抗性诉讼（下称“综合分身对抗性诉讼”）和第 24-5273 号对抗性诉讼（下称“民事 RICO 对抗性诉讼”，与综合分身对抗性诉讼合称“标的对抗性诉讼”），并处理其他事项；且本法院根据《美国法典》第 28 编第 157 条和第 1334 条以及 United States District Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格区联邦地区法院）的《移送常设命令》拥有审理该动议及其中请求的救济的管辖权；\n\n4 本裁定中使用但未另行定义的首字母大写术语具有动议中赋予它们的含义。\n\n且审理该动议及其中请求的救济根据《美国法典》第 28 编第 157(b) 条属于核心程序；且根据《美国法典》第 28 编第 1408 条和第 1409 条本法院管辖地适当；且本法院认定动议中请求的救济符合债务人第 11 章破产财产、其债权人及所有利害关系方的最大利益；且在具体情况下已就动议发出了充分且适当的通知；且看来无需发出其他或进一步的通知；以及基于本法院已进行的所有程序；且针对本文请求的救济的任何异议已被撤回或在实体上被驳回；经审慎研商并显示有充分理由，特此裁定如下：\n\n1. 动议按本裁定所述予以批准。\n\n2. 在符合下文第 5 段规定的前提下，标的对抗性诉讼特此中止，直至目前定于2024年5月20日开庭、在 United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）（下称“刑事法院”）审理的案由为 United States of America v. Ho Wan Kwok, et al.（美利坚合众国诉郭文贵等案）、案件编号为 23-CR-118 (AT) 的案件（下称“刑事案件”）中的刑事审判（下称“刑事审判”）结束。\n\n3. 刑事审判结束后，受托人应向本法院和刑事法院同时提交恢复标的对抗性诉讼的通知，一经提交，中止即告终止（自本裁定作出之日起至该终止之日止的期间为“中止期”）。\n\n4. 在符合下文第 5 段规定的前提下，标的对抗性诉讼中的所有诉讼活动在中止期内均应中止和暂停，包括但不限于各方对相关起诉状进行答辩或作出其他回应的\n\n期限。在中止期内，不得提交或送达任何答辩状或其他回应，包括但不限于根据《联邦破产诉讼规则》第 7012 条作出的回应。中止期结束时，在法院进一步下达裁定的前提下，所有已获送达相关传票和起诉状的被告，应自中止期终止之日起 30 天内对该起诉状作出答辩或以其他方式予以回应。\n\n5. 尽管本裁定中有任何相反规定：(a) 受托人在综合分身对抗性诉讼中针对被告 K Legacy, Ltd.（K 传奇有限公司）以及 Qiang Guo（郭强）（以其作为 K 传奇有限公司名义所有人的身份）提出的权利主张，不受本裁定的中止或任何其他影响；以及 (b) 在中止期内，应允许受托人 (i) 采取行动向标的对抗性诉讼的被告送达传票和起诉状，以及 (ii) 在向本法院提出动议并向刑事法院提交该动议通知后，在标的对抗性诉讼中寻求禁令或其他救济，以防止对破产财产造成不可挽回的损害，例如为防止潜在破产财产流失所必需的救济。\n\n6. 除法院另有裁定外，在中止期内，主要破产案件（包括但不限于根据《联邦破产诉讼规则》第 2004 条发出的传票）或任何对抗性诉讼（包括但不限于标的对抗性诉讼）中均不得进行证言录取。如果受托人认为在中止期内进行证言录取对于保护破产财产或确保第 11 章破产财产的有序管理是必要的，受托人可在通知刑事案件各方当事人后向本法院提出动议，请求允许进行该等证言录取。\n\n7. 尽管有上述规定，正如2024年3月19日状况通报会上载入记录所述，本法院无权中止在美国康涅狄格区联邦地区法院案件编号为 3:24-mc-00032-KAD 的、审理被告 Mei Guo（郭美）于2024年3月14日提交的《撤回移送动议》的程序（下称“地区法院程序”），因此，本裁定所施加的中止及其相关条款不适用于地区法院程序。但是，本裁定不损害各方当事人在地区法院程序中的权利，包括但不限于受托人请求中止地区法院程序的权利以及被告 Mei Guo（郭美）反对任何此类请求的权利。\n\n8. 经任何一方当事人提出动议并在发出正当通知和举行听证后，本裁定可予修改，包括修改或终止本裁定所施加的中止。\n\n9. 本法院对因执行本裁定而产生的或与执行本裁定相关的所有事项保留管辖权。\n\n10. 本裁定一经作出立即生效\n\n2024年3月22日订于康涅狄格州布里奇波特。\n\n证据 2\n美利坚合众国康涅狄格区破产法院布里奇波特分院\n-------------------------------------------------------------------- x\n关于：\n第 11 章\nHO WAN KWOK（郭文贵）等，\n债务人。\n案件编号：22-50073 (JAM)\n（合并审理）\n-------------------------------------------------------------------- x\nLUC A.
