August 27, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 1234 ORDER deferring ruling on #1194 Motion for Hearing; deferring ruling on #1209 Motion for Hearing: THE COURT WILL HOLD A TELEPHONE CONFERENCE AT 2:00 PM ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2014. COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF WILL ARRANGE THE CONFERENCE CALL. The purpose of the call is to afford the parties an opportunity to address the following questions with respect to plaintiff's pending motions, docket entries 1194 and 1209. (1) Each motion seeks "an order commencing a special proceeding." Plaintiff shall be prepared to explain more clearly what the effect of such an order, assuming its motions are granted, would be. More specifically, plaintiff shall explain whether its pending motion seeks an order transferring title to property, leave to begin a litigation process that may lead to that result, or other relief. If, as the language of the motion suggests, plaintiff seeks leave to commence a proceeding, what authority requires that a judgment creditor obtain leave of court before commencing such proceedings? If plaintiff seeks and order transferring title to property, have all potentially interested parties, such as Momik, been served with the motion and afforded an opportunity to be heard? (2) Plaintiff's second motion, Docket Entry 1209, alleges that Jacob Kagan converted non-exempt funds into exempt equity in his home. Plaintiff's motion does not identify the New York State statute or case law that gives rise to the homestead exemption referred to in its memorandum. Plaintiff shall be prepared to provide appropriate citations at the telephone conference, and to state whether the exemption has a dollar ceiling or other limitation. (3) Plaintiff's first motion asserts that Jacob Kagan and Victoria Kagan jointly owned real property at 74 Tacoma Street, Staten Island, New York. Plaintiff further asserts that Jacob and Victoria Kagan sold the property and realized more than $300,000 in net proceeds, and that all of the proceeds were paid to Victoria Kagan. Plaintiff challenges the conveyance of these proceeds as constructively fraudulent, and seeks an order requiring Victoria Kagan to pay all of the Tacoma proceeds to State Farm. Plaintiff shall be prepared to explain why, if Jacob and Victoria Kagan jointly owned the Tacoma Street property, Victoria was not legitimately entitled to half of the proceeds when the property was sold, and why its motion should not be limited to half of the $335,115 its motion seeks.. Ordered by Chief Mag. Judge Steven M. Gold on 8/27/2014. (Vasquez, Lea)

Pre motion conference and oral argument hearing held. At the outset the court noted the absence, on consent of plaintiff, of defendants Laufer and Lipovsky's counsel. The court then obtained the current settlement status among the parties, with plaintiff noting that certain additional settlements were likely. In light of the pending settlement, the severance motion is deemed as moot. The clerk is directed to terminate the pending motion on ECF. The court then heard arguments regarding plaintiffs motion for case terminating sanctions against defendant Kagan. The court instructed the parties that it will reserve judgment until defendant Kagan's deposition is complete. Plaintiff was directed to file with the court a summary of the deposition proceedings. The court directed Jacob Kagan's counsel to file his request to charge on ECF. Finally, the court stated that after defendant Kagan's deposition, and after the court's ruling on the motion for sanctions, another conference would be held as early as possible in January in order to reevaluate the status of the remaining parties and to potentially set a trial date.

May 29, 2008 Opinion or Order Filing 532 Letter From Jay Shapiro, Dated May 29, 2008, To The Hon. Steven M. Gold Regarding Schedule Of Deposition by State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (Shapiro, Jay)
May 29, 2008 Opinion or Order ORDER denying #533 Motion to Withdraw as Attorney. I have received the letter dated May 29 from counsel for AL Medical and Vladimir Nabutovsky, in which counsel points out that they are moving to be relieved, that I have scheduled a hearing on that motion for June 25, and that the deposition of Mr. Nabutovsky is scheduled for June 19. Counsel ask either for an accelerated hearing on the motion or an adjournment of Mr. Nabutovsky's deposition. Counsel have been representing Mr. Nabutovsky and AL Medical for several years. If counsel were to be relieved prior to the deposition, and the deposition were not adjourned, the prejudice to Mr. Nabutovsky and AL Medical -- which, as a corporation, may not appear without counsel -- would be substantial. Moreover, the number of attorneys in this case make it extremely cumbersome to reschedule depositions. Having waited until only a few weeks before the deposition to make their application, and taking into account the prejudice to the defendants if the deposition were to proceed while they are unrepresented and the prejudice to the remaining parties if the deposition were adjourned, counsel's application to accelerate the hearing date on the motion to be relieved or adjourn the deposition of Mr. Nabutovsky is DENIED. Ordered by Chief Magistrate Steven M. Gold on 05/29/08. (Gold, Steven)
May 28, 2008 Opinion or Order ORDER re #525 MOTION to Withdraw as Attorney filed by Al Medical and Surgical Supply, Inc., Vladimir Nabutovsky, #531 Letter filed by Igor Kats.

All individuals, and a principal of each entity, whose counsel is seeking to withdraw must be present, or the court will assume there is no objection to the motion and no time is sought to retain new counsel. Counsel moving to be relieved shall promptly serve a copy of this order on the affected clients and have proof of service available at the next conference. Ordered by Chief Magistrate Steven M. Gold on 05/28/08. (Gold, Steven)

May 14, 2008 Opinion or Order ORDER re #514 Letter filed by OAG: I have received the letter from the Office of the Attorney General (OAG)dated May 9, 2008. It appears that the simplest solution to the concerns expressed in that letter is for the defendants who are "the persons or entities from whom the proceeds of the search warrant were taken" to inspect and copy the evidence, as the Attorney General indicates they will be permitted to do. Those defendants are hereby ordered to do so forthwith, and to provide copies to plaintiff no later than June 6, 2008, on pain of sanction. Compliance with the subpoena issued by plaintiff to the OAG is hereby stayed until June 25, the date of the next conference. If there are issues that remain unresolved at that time with respect to the production of documents seized pursuant to the search warrant, I will hear argument concerning the enforceability of plaintiff's subpoena, including argument from the OAG, at that conference. Plaintiff's counsel shall serve a copy of this order on the OAG. Ordered by Chief Magistrate Steven M. Gold on 05/14/08. (Gold, Steven)
