01/22/2020 | ORDER. Hearing previously scheduled for 1/27/2020 is hereby cancelled. The Court is persuaded that compelling the Receiver to file a bankruptcy petition at this point would not be in the best interest of all parties. ORDER denying [490, 494]. Although SanFilippo's and Levy's acquittals undoubtedly entitle them to payment by the Platinum Partners entities, the Court will still not permit them to jump the line in front of other deserving creditors. Among other purposes, the receivership was instated in order to "conduct an orderly wind down including a responsible liquidation of assets and orderly and fair distribution of those assets to investors." The Receiver thus has broad authority to reasonably distribute funds by order of claim priority. The Court maintains that both SanFilippo and Levy are entitled to indemnification (see [417] 11/25/2018 Order Denying Motions to Compel Payment or Advancement of Legal Fees); however, these are just two unsecured claims among many and they must wait for any payment alongside the other unsecured creditors. Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 1/22/2020. (Clarke, Melonie) | |
