## MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE REDACTED INVOICES WITH SAXE DOERNBERGER AND VITA P.C.'S FINAL FEE APPLICATION

 Pursuant to Local Bankruptcy Rule 2016-1, Saxe Doernberger & Vita P.C. ("SDV") respectfully moves the Court for leave to file redacted invoices with SDV's final fee application.

 On June 29, 2023, the Court granted Genever Holdings LLC's ("Genever (US)") application to retain SDV as special insurance coverage counsel [Docket No. 1963], effective May 11, 2023 (the "Retention Order"). As special insurance coverage counsel on behalf of Genever (US), SDV initiated and prosecuted coverage litigation via an adversary proceeding [Adv. Proceeding No. 5:23-05007] (the "Adversary Proceeding") against AIG Property Casualty Company ("AIG"). Through the Adversary Proceeding, Genever (US) seeks to (1) enjoin AIG from cancelling Genever (US)'s first- and third-party insurance policies, and (2) recover insurance benefits under those policies for its March 15, 2023 fire-related losses. The Adversary Proceeding is still ongoing.

<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. The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and the Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).

 Pursuant to Local Bankruptcy Rule 2016-1(b), "[a]pplications for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses shall, at a minimum . . . [c]omply with the Court's Guidelines for Allowance of Compensation and Expenses of Professionals (Appendix D) . . .." Paragraph B of Appendix D to the Local Bankruptcy Rules provides:

If an applicant believes that there is a need to omit any information or description of services as privileged or confidential, the applicant must first get the approval of the court; provided, however, that if such a request is granted, the court may require that any application also contain a set of unredacted time records for in camera inspection.

 SDV's invoices being submitted as part of its Fee Application contain entries pertaining to research, arguments, and strategies that are privileged and/or confidential. The disclosure of that privileged and/or confidential information could cause harm to Genever (US) since the Adversary Proceeding is ongoing.

Accordingly, SDV respectfully requests the Court grant leave to file redacted invoices with

SDV's final fee application.

Dated: August 25, 2023 Trumbull, Connecticut

Respectfully submitted, SAXE DOERNBERGER & VITA, P.C.
