Despins, in his capacity as Chapter 11 trustee for the estate of Mr. Ho Wan Kwok, (the "Trustee") filed the Emergency Motion to Adjourn HCHK Preliminary Injunction Hearing (the "Motion to Continue"). (ECF No. 21.) The Trustee represents that the defendants HCHK Technologies, Inc., HCHK Property Management, Inc., Lexington Property and Staffing, Inc., Mr. Anthony DiBattista, and Mr. Brian Hofmeister, in his capacity as assignee for the benefit of creditors, (the "Consenting Defendants") consent to the entry of an order continuing the hearing on the Preliminary Injunction (the "PI") and extending the ex parte Temporary Restraining Order (the "TRO"), ECF No. 18, until the conclusion of the PI hearing. However, the Trustee represents that Ms. Yvette Wang and Holy City Hong Kong Ventures, Limited (the "Non−Responding Defendants" and together with the Consenting Defendants, the "Named Defendants") have not responded to the Trustee's efforts to communicate about the PI and the TRO and therefore have not consented to the continuation of the PI hearing or the |

| | | extension of the TRO. On June 22, 2023, the Trustee filed certificates of service demonstrating when and the manner in which service of the | |------------|----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | summons, complaint, TRO, and the Motion to Continue was made on the Named Defendants. (ECF Nos. 23, 24.) Accordingly, it is hereby | | | | ORDERED: The PI hearing, ECF No. 18, insofar as it is a request for a PI against the Consenting Defendants, currently scheduled for June 26, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. is continued to a date and time to be determined and shall be held in the United States Bankruptcy Court, 915 Lafayette Boulevard in Bridgeport, Connecticut; and it is further | | | | ORDERED: Because the Consenting Defendants have consented to the extension of the TRO, ECF No. 18, the TRO is extended as against the Consenting Defendants, their agents, and those in active concert with the foregoing, through and including the conclusion of the PI hearing in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(2) or until further order of the Court; and it is further | | | | ORDERED: A Status Conference shall be held on June 26, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. in the United States Bankruptcy Court, 915 Lafayette Boulevard in Bridgeport, Connecticut to discuss, among other things, the TRO and PI Hearing as to the Non−Responding Defendants and/or to allow the Trustee to present evidence in support of extending the TRO or entering a PI against the Non−Responding Defendants; and it is further | | | | ORDERED: At or before 5:00 p.m. on June 23, 2023, the Trustee shall serve this Order on all of the Named Defendants. The Trustee shall file a certificate of service evidencing compliance with this Order at or before 10:00 a.m. on or before June 24, 2023. Signed by Judge Julie A. Manning on June 23, 2023.
