# **CHAPTER 11 TRUSTEE'S MOTION TO APPEAR REMOTELY FOR JUNE 6, 2023, HEARING AND REQUEST FOR STATUS CONFERENCE**

Pursuant to section 105(a) of Title 11 of the United States Code (such title, hereinafter, the "Bankruptcy Code") and Rule 1001 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Bankruptcy Rules"), Luc A. Despins, as chapter 11 trustee (the "Trustee") for the individual debtor in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases"), respectfully moves (the "Motion") the Court for permission for the Trustee to appear remotely at the June 6, 2023 hearing scheduled in these Chapter 11 Cases and related adversary proceedings and to schedule a status conference in Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003. In support of the Motion, the Trustee respectfully states the following:

1. As the Court is aware, various matters are on the calendar for Tuesday, June 6, 2023, at 1 p.m. in these Chapter 11 Cases and related adversary proceedings.

<sup>1</sup> The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases) (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation.

Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).

3. The Trustee's counsel from Paul Hastings LLP and the Trustee's Connecticut counsel will attend the June 6, 2023, hearing in person.

*[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]*

WHEREFORE, the Court should (a) grant this Motion, (b) permit the Trustee to participate
