October 18, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 140 ORDER granting #136 Motion for Issuance of Letters Rogatory. This order resolves Defendant Guy Gentile's motion for issuance of letters rogatory at Dkt. 146 in 18-CV-7291 and Dkt. 136 in 18-CV-8896. Plaintiffs neither support nor oppose. (See 18-CV-7291 Dkt. 149 at 4.) The Court agrees with Plaintiffs that Gentile has created a contradictory record regarding what documents existed at any time, what he possessed at any particular time, and what documents Mintbroker does or does not have. Nonetheless, given the Court's previous orders regarding whether or not Defendants will be able to submit certain information into evidence for inquest based on what documents they produce, equity favors granting Gentile's motion. Further, Plaintiffs' response to the motion is premised in part on the assumption that Gentile necessarily kept copies of certain documents provided to Mintbroker and on hearsay that the only responsive documents in the Joint Provision Liquidators' possession are documents previously provided by Gentile to them. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Gentile's motion and will issue a separate order for letters rogatory. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger on 10/18/2022) (mml)

September 23, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 127 ORDER: This order addresses certain discovery and scheduling issues related to the inquest hearing in these two related cases. (See Dkt. 125 in 18-CV-8896.) 1. Based on the parties' correspondence, Plaintiffs' request for native/Excel files has been resolved with Defendants' compliance. (See Dkt. 125 at 1.) Accordingly, this issue is moot. 2. As to the remaining documents requested by Plaintiffs (customer account statements and financial records, and certain tax forms), it is Defendants' burden to prove what portion of the Mintbroker proprietary account trades, if any, were on behalf clients rather than Mintbroker. The materials sought by Plaintiffs are material to that determination, particularly in light of the uncertainties regarding the additional documents produced by Defendants after the close of discovery (the "Post-Discovery Documents"). To the extent Defendants have possession, custody, or control over those documents, they must be produced. To the extent Defendants cannot or do not produce such documents (assuming they ever existed), Defendants will incur the appropriate evidentiary consequences, including potential preclusion from introducing the Post-Discovery Documents as evidence, as further set forth herein. 6. All documents to be produced must be produced by October 11, 2022. 7. All witnesses shall be deposed by November 14, 2022. 8. By December 12, 2022, the parties shall file a proposed pre-hearing order similar to a pre-trial order that includes: (i) a witness list (including whether they will be live or by deposition; if by deposition, the parties must designate deposition testimony and identify any portions to which the opposing party objects and the basis for the objection); (ii) an exhibit list (including whether the opposing party objects and the basis for the objection); and (iii) identification of any issues requiring pre-hearing resolution, and the parties' respective positions. The parties shall also indicate whether they have any particular technology needs for the hearing. 9. The Court will set a date for the inquest hearing in consultation with counsel. By October 3, 2022, the parties shall file a joint letter setting forth any "blackout" dates when they are not available for the hearing in January and February 2023. The Court plans to reserve two days for the hearing and to allow 30 minutes each for opening statements. If the parties agree that more time is necessary for either the hearing or opening statements, they shall so state in the joint letter.

September 15, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 114 ORDER: This order concerns the incomplete joint discovery plan filed by the parties on September 14, 2022 at Dkt. 124 in 18-CV-7291 and Dkt. 113 in 18-CV-8896. 1. The parties need to do better in meeting and conferring sufficiently in advance so as to be able to comply with deadlines for joint filings. Waiting until the eve a joint filing is due to specify a request (or, if there is any doubt from the other side, for that side to say so) is not sufficient. 2. The parties must meet and confer about the documents requested by Plaintiffs. It will not be sufficient merely for Defendant to "respond" to the requests within one week. Rather, Defendant must take the initiative to further meet and confer with Plaintiff about the document requests, and both parties must take the initiative to fully complete their deliberations and submit a revised joint discovery plan that, with respect to the documents issue, indicates if the parties have come to agreement, and, if not, their respective positions. The revised joint discovery plan shall be filed by September 21, 2022. 3. With respect to depositions, the Court presumes that "within 45 days" for Defendants' Witnesses and within 60 days for Additional Witnesses refers to periods of time measured from when the Court enters the discovery order. If the parties have a different understanding, they shall so indicate in the revised joint filing. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger on 9/15/2022) (mml)

February 11, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 46 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER...regarding procedures to be followed that shall govern the handling of confidential material...STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDERWHEREAS, the Parties having agreed to the following terms governing designation, storage, use, and protection of confidential and highly confidential information and documents, and the Court having found that good cause exists for the issuance of an appropriately tailored confidentiality order ("Order") pursuant to Rule 26( c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is hereby ORDERED that the following restrictions and procedures shall apply to the information and documents exchanged by the parties, as well as all information and documents provided by non-parties, including but not limited to Choe Global Markets, Inc. ("Choe"), in either or both of Avalon Holdings Corp. v. Guy Gentile and Min/broker International, Ltd., Case No. 18-cv-7291 (VSB) and New Concept Energy, Inc. v. Guy Gentne and Mintbroker International, Ltd., Case No.18-cv-8896 (VSB) (the "Related Cases") in connection with the pre-trial phase of the Related Cases: This Order shall apply to all items or information, regardless of the medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained, including, among other things, documents, testimony, transcripts, depositions and deposition exhibits, electronically stored information ("ESI"), tangible things, and/or other information produced, given, exchanged by, or obtained by a party from any other party or any non-party during discovery in the Related Cases. "Highly Confidential Information" means information or documents that the producing party reasonably and in good faith believes contain, reflect, or constitute (i) highly sensitive information, such as current trade secrets or trading activity patterns, or other information the unauthorized disclosure of which would result in imminent competitive, commercial, or financial harm to the producing party or its personnel, clients, or customers; or (ii) material that a producing party believes in good faith would not otherwise be adequately protected under the procedures set forth herein for Confidential Information. The parties shall meet and confer before production of any document or information requiring a designation of "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." Any disputes regarding the designation of "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" that cannot be resolved by the parties' good faith efforts to meet and confer will be resolved by judicial determination. The Parties agree and stipulate that Cboe, notwithstanding its status as a non-party, shall have the right to the protections of this Stipulation and Order and to enforce the provisions contained herein.

January 27, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 44 ORDER terminating #43 Letter Motion for Conference. The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff counsels letter dated January 24, 2020 in both of the above-captioned actions regarding a docket entry issued in New Concept Energy, Inc. v. Gentile, et al., No. 18-cv-8896 setting deadlines for submission of amended pleadings and the joinder of parties, if any. (Dkt. 43 (New Concept Energy, Inc.), 51 (Avalon Holdings Corp.).) While counsel is correct that the January 22, 2020 conference before this Court did not reset any deadlines set in these matters, counsel is mistaken that the deadlines "amended" by this docket entry have "long since passed." (Id.) Pursuant to the case management plan and scheduling order entered by Judge Broderick on January 2, 2020 in each of the above-captioned actions, the deadlines for submission of amended pleadings and the joinder of parties are, in fact, February 20, 2020. (Dkt. 34 (New Concept Energy, Inc.), 47 (Avalon Holdings, Corp.).) If counsel for either party in either action believes this deadline to be an error, counsel may submit a letter to the Court explaining its basis for that position for the Court's consideration. The Clerk is respectfully directed to terminate Dkt. 43 in New Concept Energy, Inc. v. Gentile, No. 18-cv-8896 and Dkt. 51 in Avalon Holdings Corp. v. Gentile, et al., No. 18-cv-7291. SO ORDERED.
