5 Case Doc Filed 08/17/16 Entered 08/17/16 10:42:52 Desc Exhibit A Page 2 of 3 Committee on behalf of the defendants (the Defendants ). In support of this motion, the Trustee states as follows: 1. On or about February 26, 2016, the Trustee filed his Amended Complaint. Pursuant thereto, the Trustee alleged, among other things, that certain claims (the Unjust Enrichment Claims ) asserted by the Defendants, individually and in their representative capacity, in the United States District Court in pending multi-district litigation were substantially the same claims, and sought to recover the same property, that the Trustee was pursuing in two pending class actions 1 against Net Winners 2 in the TelexFree Ponzi scheme. 2. The Amended Complaint contains three counts. 3. The first count of the Amended Complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that the Defendants pursuit of the Unjust Enrichment Claims violates the automatic stay provisions of 11 U.S.C. 362 and interferes with the Trustee s exclusive right to seek recovery from Net Winners on behalf of the bankruptcy estates. 4. The second count of the Amended Complaint seeks damages from the Defendants on account of the Defendants violation of the automatic stay. 5. The third count of the Amended Complaint requests entry of an order restraining and enjoining the Defendants from pursuit of the Unjust Enrichment Claims. 6. On August 5, 2016, the Defendants filed the Motion for Summary Judgment requesting dismissal of the Amended Complaint. 7. The Trustee requests that the Court establish September 2, 2016 as the deadline for responses and cross-motions to the Motion for Summary Judgment. 8. The Defendants stated that they have no opposition to the requested relief. 1 The class action complaints filed by the Trustee include Darr v. Argueta et al, Adv. Proc. No , and Darr v. Alecci et al, Adv. Proc. No , both pending before the Court. 2 Terms not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Amended Complaint. 2
