Date Filed Document Text
July 12, 2022 Opinion or Order Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Pamela K. Chen: Oral Argument held on 7/12/2022 re Defendants' #26 request to move to stay or dismiss this matter. Appearances by Gregory Linkh, Brian Murray, and Shiyong Ye for Plaintiffs; Michael Thomas Lemanski, Matthew Schwartz, and Amanda Shami for Defendants. Case called. Discussion held. For the reasons explained on the record and based on the five-factor test articulated in Kappel v. Comfort, 914 F. Supp. 1056, 1058 (S.D.N.Y. 1996), the Court granted Defendants' motion to stay this matter pending the resolution of the parallel SEC-enforcement action, SEC v. Xia, No. 21-cv-5350 (PKC) (RER), (E.D.N.Y. Sept. 27, 2021) (PACER). However, Plaintiffs may seek to modify or lift the stay, via letter, at a later date. Because the stay obviates the need for the Court to consider Defendants' requests to file motions to dismiss pursuant to Fed R. Civ. P. 9(b), 12(b)(1), and 12(b)(6), those requests are denied without prejudice to renew. (Court Reporter Victoria Torres Butler.) (Ben-Gigi, Yanai) Modified on 7/19/2022 to include date held.
