June 4, 2020	Filing 23 NOTICE OF E-FILED CALENDAR: THIS IS THE ONLY NOTICE COUNSEL/THE PARTIES WILL RECEIVE.ALL PERSONS ENTERING THE COURTHOUSE MUST PRESENT PHOTO IDENTIFICATION. A Telephonic Status Conference Regarding the Plaintiff's Motion for Prejudgment Remedy is set for 6/12/2020 at 10:00 AM before Judge Robert M. Spector. Please use the following dial in for this call: 877-873-8017, access code: 7040261. (Watson, M.)
June 4, 2020	Filing 22 ORDER: On June 1, 2020, the plaintiff filed an Ex Parte Motion for Prejudgment Remedy (Doc. No. 9) and Motion for Disclosure of Assets (Doc. No. 15). On June 2, 2020, the Court (Meyer, J) referred the motions to the undersigned. (Doc. No. 17). On June 3, 2020, the plaintiff filed a Notice regarding the pending motions in which the plaintiff emphasizes its position as set forth in its Ex Parte Motion for Prejudgment Remedy, and requests an ex parte oral argument. (Doc. No. 21).Under Connecticut's "prejudgment remedies law, prejudgment remedies can only be issued ex parte in certain limited circumstances, which include exigent circumstances." Cendant Corp. v. Shelton, 473 F. Supp. 2d 307, 321 (D. Conn. 2007) (citing Conn. Gen. Stat. 52-278e). The plaintiff asserts that exigent circumstances, as detailed in 52-278e, exist in this case as the defendants are "about to fraudulently dispose of or [have] fraudulently disposed of any of [their] property with intent to hinder, delay or defraud [the defendants'] creditors" or have "fraudulently hidden or withheld money, property or effects which should be liable to the satisfaction of [their] debts." (See Doc. No. 9, Ex. A). The plaintiff asserts that the judgment debtors in this dispute are indebted to the plaintiff for approximately $46.7 million, plus continued post-judgment interest, and Daniel Carpenter is personally indebted for approximately $26 million, plus continued post-judgment interest. (Doc. No. 9-1 at 6; Doc. No. 9-2 at 5). The plaintiff discusses the past fraudulent acts of Daniel and Molly Carpenter which have been done with an intent to frustrate the plaintiff's ability to enforce its judgment. (Doc. No. 9-1 at 6-8). Additionally, the plaintiff argues that prior cases involving defendant Benistar demonstrate a pattern whereby Benistar entities frequently transfer and/or assign assets to other Benistar entities with an intent to hinder, delay, or otherwise defraud creditors. (Doc. No. 9-1 at 7). The plaintiff seeks to attach two properties to secure its likely judgment: one belonging to defendant Grist Mill Partners, LLC, which is an entity controlled by Daniel Carpenter (Doc. No. 9-1 at 7), valued at $2.4 million and the other, belonging to defendant Molly Carpenter, valued at $430,780. (Doc. No. 9-2 at 5). The plain language of 52-278e requires a reasonable likelihood that the defendants against whom the prejudgment remedy is sought, will remove assets from the state. The plaintiff has not established a reasonable likelihood that all of the named defendants in this case should be subject to an ex parte prejudgment remedy. Moreover, any emergency or exigent basis on which to consider this application has been mooted by the long litigation history against these defendants, and involving related individuals and entities, and the fact that these defendants have had notice of attempted collection through litigation in multiple forums. As the plaintiff states, "[t]his is not a new dispute." (Doc. No. 21 at 1). The arbitration award that this plaintiff is attempting to collect was issued in 2011, the Southern District of New York issued a judgment affirming that award in 2012, and the Second Circuit affirmed that decision. The judgment debtors' continuous fraudulent transfer of assets with an intent to frustrate the plaintiff's collection efforts is well established and the plaintiff has not established how exigent circumstances suddenly exist. Accordingly, to the extent that the plaintiff seeks a prejudgment remedy on an ex parte basis, such request for the entry of a prejudgment remedy ex parte is denied. A telephonic status conference to address the Motion for Prejudgment Remedy will be held on June 12, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. The plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that the defendants have been served with the Complaint and all relevant filings, including the calendar notice for the telephonic status conference. The calendar notice will include the conference dial in for the call. Signed by Judge Robert M. Spector on 6/4/2020.(Watson, M.)
