April 9, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 238 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: #236 Letter, filed by Worldwide Dreams LLC, Roger Gimbel, Allen Feldman. ENDORSEMENT: The Court's September 1, 2017 order (Dkt. 218) left open only $13.38 million as a live claim under Count III. No later than April 16, 2018, the parties must explain why they now seek to enter judgment on Count III for $6.75 million and to voluntarily dismiss $7.93 million from that count, when those amounts ($6.75 million + $7.93 million) add up to more than $13.38 million (the amount that remains in this count). By the same date, the parties must also explain whether their $6.75 million figure includes costs. Whereas the parties' proposed judgment states that it does, the voluntary dismissal stipulation for the same count confusingly states that "each party will cover its own costs." If the parties clarify these issues, the Court will consider signing their proposed judgment. (Signed by Judge Valerie E. Caproni on 4/9/2018) (mro)

June 21, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 194 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: #190 Letter, filed by Worldwide Dreams LLC, Roger Gimbel, Allen Feldman. ENDORSEMENT: The Court agrees with the Plaintiff that Defendants have received all of the relief to which they would have been entitled if they had prevailed on their Daubert Motion. Moreover, if Defendants are correct that there is no record evidence that Yick Bo was insolvent, then any expert opinion based on the premise that Yick Bo was insolvent is not likely to create a question of fact sufficient to warrant denial of Defendants' summary judgment motion. Accordingly, Defendants' request for leave to file a Daubert motion, even if framed as re-submitting or revising their initial Daubert motion, is DENIED. Defendants' request for a stay or for modification of the summary judgment briefing schedule is also DENIED. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Valerie E. Caproni on 6/21/2016) (mro)

Is it Plaintiff's position that Yick Bo would have had standing bring this Complaint? Under what circumstances can a wholly-owned subsidiary sue its parent corporation? 2. Assuming the truth of the allegations in the Complaint, what injury did Yick Bo suffer that was distinct from the injury caused to its creditors? Be prepared to discuss Hirsch v. Arthur Andersen & Co., 178 B.R. 40, 44 (D. Conn. 1994), aff'd, 72 F.3d 1085 (2d Cir. 1995). 3. The Complaint alleges that Yick Bo was defrauded, but it also alleges that Yick Bo's directors and officers were aware of the truth about Worldwide Dreams financial condition. Is there any precedent for holding an entity was defrauded when the entity's directors, officers and shareholder were witting of the allegedly misrepresented fact? See generally Kirschner v. KPMG LLP, 15 N.Y.3d 446, 464-66 (2010). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Valerie E. Caproni on 4/8/2014) (kgo)
