Appellant Weddle Law PLLC ("Weddle Law"), by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby provides, pursuant to Rule 8009 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Bankruptcy Rules"), this statement of issues to be presented and designation of items to be included in the record on appeal with respect to this appeal to the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut from the Bankruptcy Court's February 14, 2025 Order Granting In Part Third Motion For Extension of Deadline for Trustee to File Avoidance Actions (ECF No. 4106, the "Ruling"), granting the Trustee, Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee's (the "Trustee") *Second Supplemental Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee To Extend February 15, 2025 Deadline For Trustee To File Avoidance Actions* (ECF No. 4004, the "Third Extension Motion").

1. Did the Bankruptcy Court have constitutional authority to enter a final judgment

and order concerning the Third Extension Motion?

1 The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595) (the "Debtor"), 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.

3. Assuming arguendo that the Bankruptcy Court had statutory authority to prospectively modify the statute of limitations set forth in Bankruptcy Code §§ 546(a) and 549(d) under Rule 9006 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, did the Trustee demonstrate "good cause" to do so?
