21 TO THE HONORABLE CATHERINE E. BAUER, UNITED STATES
22 BANKRUPTCY JUDGE, AND ALL OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES:
23 Michael J. Avenatti (“Avenatti”) hereby submits his Motion to Stay Contempt Proceedings
24 Pending Resolution of Related Criminal Action (“Motion”) as follows.
25 I. SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
26 The personal and legal landscape for Avenatti has materially changed since he was last
27 before this Court – changes which necessitate the immediate stay of the instant contempt proceeding.
28 Most recently, on April 10, 2019, a federal grand jury in the Central District of California returned
SHULMAN HODGES &
BASTIAN LLP

Suite 600
Irvine, CA 92618
6020-000\56\1355719.1 1
1 an indictment against him on claims including tax fraud and bankruptcy fraud in Case No. SACR19-
2 00061 (“Indictment”). Due to the Indictment and the serious impact of the allegations contained
3 therein, Avenatti is faced with the untenable position of defending the criminal proceedings while
4 at the same time defending this Court’s Order to Show Cause re Sanctions For Filing Case in
5 Violation of the Joint Stipulation re Order Appointing Receiver and Issuing Restraining Order
6 (“OSC”). Given the ongoing criminal investigation and the recent Indictment, Avenatti must assert
7 his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself. As a direct result of Avenatti exercising his
8 fundamental constitutional right against self-incrimination, Avenatti cannot adequately defend
9 himself in this Court’s pending OSC, let alone develop any evidence that may exonerate him in this
10 case.
11 If the instant contempt proceeding is permitted to proceed concurrently with the criminal
12 investigation, Avenatti will be forced into the unfair and inequitable position of choosing between
13 asserting his Fifth Amendment constitutional right against self-incrimination, which would impair
14 his ability to defend himself in the OSC, on the one hand, and waiving his constitutional rights,
15 which would damage his ability to defend himself in the criminal case. In either event, Avenattii is
16 unduly and unnecessarily prejudiced.
17 Moreover, a stay of the OSC would result in the most efficient use of judicial resources, as
18 this Court’s resources utilized during a stay would be nominal. Allowing the criminal case to
19 proceed while the OSC is stayed appears to be the best way to ensure this Court’s time and resources
20 are not wasted.
21 In the interest of affording Avenatti the opportunity for a fair trial in both the OSC and the
22 criminal proceedings and to ensure the best and most efficient use of judicial resources, Avenatti
23 respectfully requests that this Court stay the OSC pending resolution of the criminal case.

1 II. RELEVANT FACTUAL BACKGROUND
2 A. Prior Bankruptcy Proceeding
3 On March 1, 2017, an involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition commenced against Eagan
4 Avenatti LLP (the “Firm”) in the Middle District of Florida was transferred to the Central District
5 of California, Santa Ana Division, commencing Case No. 8:17-bk-11961-CB (“Involuntary Case”). 1
6 On March 15, 2018, this Court entered an Order Granting Motion Approving Settlement and
7 Dismissing Case and Related Relief (“Dismissal Order”) in the Involuntary Case.
8 The Dismissal Order approved a settlement reached between the Firm and Jason Frank Law,
9 PLC (the “Judgment Creditor”) which provided terms for a restructure and payment of the Firm’s
10 creditors over time, and dismissed the case. Essentially, the Firm planned to restructure its debts
11 similar to a plan in a Chapter 11 setting, but outside of Bankruptcy Court.
12 The Firm began making payments under the settlement which was approved by the
13 Dismissal Order but ultimately, was unable to fully comply with the payment terms.
14 B. Receivership Proceedings
15 On September 4, 2018, the Judgment Creditor registered a judgment entered against the Firm
16 with the District Court for the Central District of California, commencing Case No. 8:18-CV-01644-
17 VAP-KES (“District Court Case”). 2
18 On February 12, 2019, Judgment Creditor filed a motion to appoint a receiver over the Firm
19 in the District Court Case.
20 The parties discussed the Judgment Creditor’s motion and how to possibly resolve it. The
21 Firm ultimately agreed to the appointment of a receiver, based at least in part on the parties agreeing
22 to attend mediation and to attempt to resolve the Judgment Creditor’s judgment against the Firm
23 and to continue a judgment debtor examination (“JDE”) of Avenatti and the Firm scheduled for
24 February 14, 2019.

1 On February 13, 2019, the District Court entered the Order Appointing Receiver and Issuing
2 Restraining Order (“Receiver Order”) in the District Court Case. The Receiver Order was based on
3 a Joint Stipulation entered into between the Judgment Creditor, the Firm, and Avenatti individually.
4 As part of the Receiver Order, and because the parties had agreed to attend mediation and attempt
5 to resolve their disputes, the JDE scheduled for Avenatti and the Firm was continued from February
6 14, 2019 to March 8, 2019.
7 C. The Instant Bankruptcy and Contempt Proceedings
8 On March 7, 2019, Avenatti filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding on behalf
9 of The Trial Group LLP; dba Trial Group; dba TRG LLP; dba Eagan O’Malley & Avenatti LLP;
10 dba Eagan Avenatti LLP (the “Debtor”), commencing the instant case.
11 On March 8, 2019, Judgment Creditor filed an Emergency Motion to Dismiss Case or in the
12 Alternative, Relief From the Automatic Stay (“Motion”).
13 A hearing on the Motion was held on March 13, 2019 at which time the Court granted the
14 Motion. At the hearing, the Court also noted that it would issue an Order to Show Cause.
15 On March 15, 2019, the Court entered the OSC. A true and correct copy of the OSC is
16 attached to the RJN as Exhibit “3.” Avenatti’s response to the OSC is due no later than April 17,
17 2019 and a hearing on the OSC is set to take place on May 8, 2019. A true and correct copy of the
18 docket for this case is attached to the RJN as Exhibit “4.”
19 The JDE took place on April 11, 2019. At that time, Avenatti pled his Fifth Amendment
20 right against self-incrimination and did not answer any questions.
21 D. Pending Criminal Action
22 On or about March 25, 2019, claims were filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern
23 District of New York against Avenatti relating to wire fraud, bank fraud, and extortion.
24 On April 10, 2019, a federal grand jury in the Central District of California returned the
25 Indictment against Avenatti.
26 While Avenatti contests the OSC, in light of the criminal case, he intends, upon the advice
27 of counsel, to assert his Fifth Amendment privilege until the criminal case is concluded.

1 III. ARGUMENT
2 A. Authority Regarding Stay of a Civil Proceeding
3 The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination extends to “any matter that may
4 tend to incriminate him.” Cal. Evid. Code § 940. The privilege “can be asserted in any proceeding,
5 civil or criminal, administrative or judicial, investigatory or adjudicatory; and it protects against any
6 disclosures that the witness reasonably believes could be used in a criminal prosecution or could
7 lead to other evidence that might be so used.” Kastigar v. United States, 406 U.S. 441, 444-445
8 (1972). “To sustain the privilege, it need only be evident from the implications of the question, in
9 the setting in which it is asked, that a responsive answer to the question or an explanation of why it
10 cannot be answered might be dangerous because injurious disclosure could result.” Blackburn v.
11 Superior Court, 21 Cal.App.4th 414, 427 (1993) (quoting Hoffman v. United States, 341 U.S.
12 479,486 (1951)).
13 The Constitution does not ordinarily require a stay of civil proceedings pending the outcome
14 of criminal proceedings. Federal Sav. & Loan Ins. Corp. v. Molinaro, 889 F.2d 899, 902 (9th Cir.
15 1989); SEC v. Dresser Indus., 628 F.2d 1368, 1375 (D.C. Cir. 1980) (cert. denied, 449 U.S. 993
16 (1980)). “In the absence of substantial prejudice to the rights of the parties involved, [simultaneous]
17 parallel [civil and criminal] proceedings are unobjectionable under our jurisprudence.” Dresser, 628
18 F.2d at 1374. “Nevertheless, a court may decide in its discretion to stay civil proceedings . . . ‘when
19 the interests of justice seem[] to require such action.’“ Id. at 1375 (quoting United States v. Kordel,
20 397 U.S. 1, 12 n.27 (1970)).
21 “The decision whether to stay civil proceedings in the face of a parallel criminal proceeding
22 should be made ‘in light of the particular circumstances and competing interests involved in the
23 case.’” Keating v. Office of Thrift Supervision, 45 F.3d 322, 325 (9th Cir. Jan. 18, 1995) (quoting
24 Molinaro, 889 F.2d at 902). The court’s primary consideration in deciding whether or not to stay
25 an action is “the extent to which the defendant’s fifth amendment rights are implicated.” Id. at 324.
26 In addition, the decision maker should generally consider the

following factors: (1) the interest of the plaintiffs in proceeding
27 expeditiously with this litigation or any particular aspect of it, and the
potential prejudice to plaintiffs of a delay; (2) the burden which any
28 particular aspect of the proceedings may impose on defendants; (3)
SHULMAN HODGES &

Irvine, CA 92618

1 the convenience of the court in the management of its cases, and the
efficient use of judicial resources; (4) the interests of persons not
2 parties to the civil litigation; and (5) the interest of the public in the
pending civil and criminal litigation.
3
Id.
4
Where, as here, a party is under indictment on serious charges involving overlapping facts,
5
there is a strong case for stay. See generally, SEC v. Alexander, 2010 WL 5388000 *3 (N.D. Cal
6
Dec. 22, 2010) (staying SEC action alleging fraud on investors in light of parallel criminal case
7
based on related allegations). This is because allowing a civil action to proceed against a party
8
under indictment risks undermining the defendant’s Fifth Amendment privilege, expanding criminal
9
discovery beyond the limits of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(b), exposing the defense
10
strategy to the prosecution before the criminal trial, and causing other prejudice. Id.
11
As established below, a review of the totality of the Keating factors warrants a stay of the
12
OSC against Avenatti.
13
B. The Facts of this Case Warrant a Stay of the OSC Under the Keating Factors
14
1. Courts Routinely Issue Stays of a Civil Action Where a Party is Under Indictment
15
for a Serious Offense
16
In Dresser, the Court set forth the rationale for staying parallel civil actions in light of
17
pending criminal cases:
18
…the strongest case for deferring civil proceedings until the
19 completion of criminal proceedings is where a party under indictment
for a serious offense is required to defend a civil or administrative
20 action involving the same matter. The non-criminal proceeding, if
not deferred, may undermine the party’s 5th Amendment privilege
21 against self-incrimination, expand rights of criminal discovery
beyond the limits of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(b),
22 expose the basis of the defense to the prosecution in advance of
criminal trial, or otherwise prejudice the case.
23
SEC v. Dresser Industries, Inc., 628 F.2d at 1375-76.
24
Here, all of the risks outlined by the court in Dresser are present. The criminal proceedings
25
implicate testimony regarding the alleged misappropriation of funds by the Firm, the Debtor and/or
26
Avenatti; the assets and liabilities of the Firm and the Debtor; statements made by Avenatti under
27
oath in pleadings and documents filed in the Involuntary Case; and the actions taken by Avenatti in
28
SHULMAN HODGES &
BASTIAN LLP
Suite 600
Irvine, CA 92618
6020-000\56\1355719.1 6
1 the Involuntary Case. The instant bankruptcy case and the OSC involve and relate directly to those
2 same issues and to the facts of the Involuntary Case. Because of the overlapping facts, Avenatti
3 intends to assert his Fifth Amendment privilege and will not provide any declaration in response to
4 the OSC.
5 If the OSC proceeds, Avenatti will be put in the unfair position of having to choose between
6 asserting his Constitutional rights to protect him in the criminal case or waiving those rights to
7 defend the OSC. Instead, Avenatti should be allowed to assert his constitutional rights without fear
8 of adverse inferences. Accordingly, this Keating factor supports that a stay of the OSC is necessary.
9 2. The Court and the Opposing Parties Will Not Be Prejudiced by a Stay of the OSC
10 The Court and the Judgment Creditor will not be prejudiced by a stay. To establish
11 prejudice, parties must do more than simply claim delay in expeditiously pursuing claims. In re
12 Adelphia Communications Securities Litigation, 2003 WL 22358819, at *4 (E.D. Pa. May 13, 2003)
13 (stay granted where plaintiff failed to demonstrate sufficient prejudice). No party can establish that
14 any unique injury would be caused by the delay.
15 As will be discussed in Avenatti’s response to the OSC, attorneys fees and compensatory
16 damages are not available to the Judgment Creditor. See, Fed.R.Bankr.Proc. 9011(c)(2); Barbara
17 v. Miller, 146 F.3d 707, 711 (9th Cir. 1988) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 11, Adv. Comm. Notes, 1993
18 Amended (“monetary sanction imposed after a court-initiated show cause order [is] limited to a
19 penalty payable to the court.”)).
20 Further, the fact that the criminal case is proceeding vitiates against a claim that memories
21 will fade or facts will be forgotten during a stay of the civil case. As the court in Alexander
22 recognized, concerns about fading memories are “mitigated by the fact that the criminal prosecution
23 is already underway, and key witnesses in the civil case are also likely to provide testimony or
24 documents in the criminal proceeding. The active criminal case may help keep witnesses’ memories
25 fresh, preserve the testimony of witnesses who later become unavailable, and ensure the retention
26 of important evidence and documents” SEC v. Alexander, 2010 WL 5388000 at *4.
27 The Court and the Judgment Creditor will thus not be prejudiced by a stay of the OSC
28 pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings.

1 3. Avenatti Will Be Unfairly Prejudiced if He is Forced to Proceed on the OSC
2 The burden on Avenatti in defending the OSC while simultaneously defending the criminal
3 case is significant. The hearing on the OSC is set for May 8, 2019 with Avenatti’s response due on
4 April 17, 2019. As discussed above, absent a stay, Avenatti will be forced to choose between
5 preserving or waiving his right to remain silent during the OSC proceedings.
6 Moreover, absent a stay, Avenatti will be forced to divide his time and resources between
7 the criminal case and the OSC proceeding. As such, a stay of the OSC is necessary.
8 4. Staying the OSC Will Preserve Judicial Resources and Ensure the Efficient Use of
9 the Court’s Time
10 Avenatti’s counsel is well aware that one of the goals of many, if not all, of the bankruptcy
11 courts within the Central District of California is to move its cases along in an efficient and
12 expeditious manner. Avenatti will make no assumptions as to what this Court will deem convenient
13 in the management of its cases. That said, Avenatti believes a stay of the OSC will avoid prospective
14 discovery motions brought by the parties arising out of an assertion of the Fifth Amendment. To be
15 sure, Avenatti will not declare to anything in response to the OSC. He will simply plead the Fifth
16 Amendment.
17 While Avenatti appreciates a court’s desire to keep its cases moving in an efficient manner,
18 the desire to keep a case moving should not be to the material detriment of a litigant – as such a
19 result would elevate form over substance. Avenatti believes a stay of the OSC while the criminal
20 action proceeds would result in an efficient use of judicial resources, as Court resources utilized
21 during a stay would be nominal. As such, this Keating factor weighs in favor of staying the OSC.
22 5. The Interest of Persons Not Parties to the Civil Litigation Will Not Be Negatively
23 Impacted by a Stay
24 The only non-party that has any interest in the OSC is the government. The government has
25 no appropriate compelling interest in seeing that the OSC proceed alongside the criminal case.
26 Instead, the criminal proceedings should take precedence. As noted in SEC v. Nicholas, allowing
27 the civil and criminal cases to proceed simultaneously “would undermine the public’s right to fair
28 and efficient prosecution of its criminal laws, distract the [criminal] Defendants and the USAO from
SHULMAN HODGES &
BASTIAN LLP
Suite 600
Irvine, CA 92618
6020-000\56\1355719.1 8
1 fully preparing their respective cases, and divert the Court’s attention with burdensome discovery
2 litigation and duplicative law and motion.” SEC v. Nicholas, 569 F. Supp. 2d 1065, 1067 (C.D. Cal.
3 2008).
4 Because non-parties will not be substantially impacted, a stay is warranted.
5 6. The Interest of the Public in the Pending Civil and Criminal Litigation Favor a Stay
6 Courts have confirmed that the rights of the public are greater in a criminal case than in a
7 civil case. Alexander, 2010 WL 53880004 at *6 (citing Nicholas, 569 F.Supp.2d at 1072 (while
8 interest of the public in an action brought by a government are more serious than in a private civil
9 action, the public’s interest in a criminal action takes precedence)). Here, the public interest is best
10 served by giving precedence to the criminal case and staying the OSC.
11 Based on all of the above, the Keating factors weigh in favor of staying the OSC.
12 IV. CONCLUSION
13 Based on the foregoing, Avenatti respectfully requests the Court enter an order staying the
14 OSC to allow the criminal case to proceed and for any other and further relief as is appropriate.

1 Paragraph 14(s) of the Order states that “The Receiver shall…(h)ave the sole authority
2 regarding whether to file a petition for bankruptcy.”

3 Despite being explicitly reminded by Brian Weiss, the receiver, that he was not
4 authorized to file a bankruptcy on behalf of Eagan Avenatti LLP, Avenatti filed this case.
5 IT IS ORDERED:
6 1.) Avenatti shall personally appear on May 8, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 5D,
7 411 West Fourth Street, Santa Ana, California, 92701.
8 2.) Avenatti shall show cause, if any, why he should not be sanctioned for filing this
9 bankruptcy case without authority and in violation of his responsibilities under
10 Bankruptcy Rule 9011 in that it appears this bankruptcy case was presented for an
11 improper purpose and to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost
12 of litigation, in violation of Bankruptcy Rule 9011(b)(1).

1 Brian Weiss, the court appointed receiver (the “Receiver”) for the estate of Trial Group,
2 LLP, f/k/a Eagan Avenatti, LLP (“EA”) submits this reply (the “Reply”) to “Michael J. Avenatti’s
3 Response To Order To Show Cause In Violation Of The Joint Stipulation Re Order Appointing
4 Receiver And Issuing Restraining Order” (the “Response”).
5 Avenatti’s Response lacks any legal or factual basis – it simply rehashes arguments that
6 were rejected by the Court in dismissing the EA second bankruptcy case filed March 8, 2019
7 retroactive to the date of that filing. Indeed, Avenatti’s only colorable argument is that the Court
8 should not move forward with the hearing and rule on its Order to Show Cause re Sanction (the
9 “OSC”), based on a 36-count federal Grand Jury indictment against him and Avenatti claimed
10 “intention” to assert his Fifth Amendment rights and refuse to testify at the OSC hearing. Bankr.
& B ERGER LLP
11 Dkt., Doc. 45 (Motion to Stay Contempt Proceedings Pending Resolution of Related Criminal
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
12 Action (the “Stay Motion”), at p. 2 of 11, ll. 6-10). But that argument, too, lacks merit and should
GOTTFRIE D
13 be rejected.
14 I. RELEVANT FACTS
L ANDAU
15 EA is the judgment debtor in In re Eagan Avenatti, LLP, pending in the United States
16 District Court, Central District of California, Case No. 8:18-CV-01644-VAP-KES (the “DC
17 Case”). The judgment creditor who initiated that case is Jason Frank Law, PLC (“JFL”).
18 On February 13, 2019, Avenatti on behalf of his law firm, EA, and JFL stipulated to the
19 appointment of Mr. Weiss as the Receiver of EA and consented to the jurisdiction of Magistrate
20 Judge Karen E. Scott to enter an order (the “Restraining Order”) appointing Mr. Weiss as the
21 Receiver for EA in the DC Case. DC Case Dkt., Doc. 52. Paragraph 14(s) of the Restraining
22 Order granted the Receiver “the sole authority regarding whether to file a petition for bankruptcy”
23 on behalf of EA. Id. p. 8, ¶ 14(s). The Order further provided the judgment debtor examination of
24 EA (through Avenatti) would be continued to March 8, 2019 before Magistrate Judge Scott. Id. p.
25 4, ¶ 2.
26 On March 7, 2019, the evening before Avenatti was required to appear for EA’s debtor
27 examination in the DC Case, Avenatti telephoned the Receiver at approximately 8:14 p.m. to tell
28 him that he (Avenatti) was going to file a bankruptcy petition for EA. The Receiver referenced
2
1 and read to Avenatti § 14(s) of the Restraining Order, which states:
2 14. Additional Powers and Duties of the Receiver. The Receiver shall be authorized
3 to and shall perform the following duties and functions: . . . s. Have the sole
4 authority regarding whether to file a petition for bankruptcy.
5 Bankr. Dkt. Doc. 28 (Joinder to JFL Emergency Motion to Dismiss Case or in the Alternative
6 Relief from the Automatic Stay (the “Receiver’s Joinder”); Receiver’s Declaration, Ex. 1,
7 Receivership Order, at p. 15 of 24, l. 26).
8 The Receiver also told Avenatti during that telephone conversation that, based on the
9 Receivership Order, he (the Receiver) did not believe Avenatti had the authority to file a
10 bankruptcy for EA, only he (the Receiver) had that power, and he (the Receiver) would not file a
& B ERGER LLP
11 bankruptcy for EA or authorize Avenatti to do so. Nevertheless, Avenatti chose to violate the
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
12 Restraining Order filed the bankruptcy petition for EA less than 30 minutes after that conversation
GOTTFRIE D
13 -- at 8:41 p.m. Bankr. Dkt. Doc. 28 (Receiver’s Joinder, p. 5 of 24, ¶¶ 2-3, ll. 9-20). Less than 30
14 minutes after that telephone conversation, Avenatti filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition – at 8:47
L ANDAU
15 p.m; purportedly as the attorney for EA. Id. Avenatti also did not appear for EA’s debtor
16 examination the following morning.
17 On March 13, 2019, the Court conducted a hearing on JFL’s emergency motion to dismiss
18 the EA bankruptcy case that Avenatti had filed for EA on March 8. At that hearing, the Court
19 ordered the case dismissed retroactive to the date it was filed (that order was entered March 19, as
20 Doc. 39) and issued its OSC re Sanctions against Avenatti (that order was entered March 15, as
21 Doc 35). Reitman Dec. ¶ 2.
22 “On or about March 25, 2019, claims were filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the
23 Southern District of New York against Avenatti relating to wire fraud, bank fraud, and extortion.”
24 Bankr. Dkt., Doc. 45 (Stay Motion, p. 4 of 11, ll. 22-23).
25 On April 10, 2019, the Grand Jury Indictment against Avenatti was filed, commencing
26 United States of America v. Michael John Avenatti, SA CR No. 19-00061, in the United States
27 District Court, Central District of California, Southern Division. The indictment alleges 36
28 criminal counts against Avenatti for Wire Fraud; Willful Failure to Collect and Pay Over Withheld
3
1 Taxes; Endeavoring to Obstruct the Administration of the Internal Revenue Code; Failure to File
2 Tax Return; Bank Fraud; Aggravated Identity Theft; False Declaration in Bankruptcy [in
3 connection with the involuntary case filed against EA]; False Declaration on Bankruptcy [same];
4 False Testimony Under Oath in Bankruptcy [same]; Causing an Act to be Done; and Criminal
5 Forfeiture. Reitman Dec. ¶ 3; Ex. 1.
6 II. ARGUMENT
7 1. The OSC Does Not Implicate Avenatti’s Fifth Amendment Rights.
8 The OSC re Sanctions is straight forward: was Avenatti justified in filing EA’s voluntary
9 bankruptcy petition despite (i) personally and for EA having stipulated to the Restraining Order
10 which made clear that only the Receiver had that right; and (ii) the Receiver having read ¶ 14(s) of
& B ERGER LLP
11 the Restraining Order to Avenatti and having told Avenatti that he (the Receiver) did not believe
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
12 Avenatti had the authority to file a bankruptcy petition for EA, that only he (the Receiver) had that
GOTTFRIE D
13 power, and that he (the Receiver) would not file a bankruptcy petition for EA or authorize Avenatti
14 to do so. Bankr. Dkt. Doc. 28 (Receiver’s Declaration, p. 5 of 24, ¶¶ 2-3, ll. 9-20). Avenatti
L ANDAU
15 ignored the Restraining Order and the Receiver’s warnings and filed a voluntary bankruptcy
16 petition for EA, purportedly as its attorney, less than 30 minutes after that discussion. Id.
17 As is evident from comparting the OSC re Sanctions to the Indictment against Avenatti,
18 the criminal charges against him are wholly unrelated to the OSC. The Indictment relates solely to
19 Avenatti’s conduct in connection with bank loans and the operation of EA prior to and during its
20 involuntary bankruptcy. The OSC has nothing to do with that prior conduct and, instead, is based
21 on a single act: filing a voluntary bankruptcy petition for EA without proper authorization.
22 Avenatti also has made no showing in his Motion to Stay the OSC (the “Stay Motion”) of
23 how the OSC and the above-facts might implicate his Fifth Amendment rights, nor can he do so.
24 Instead, he simply throws out a series of random and unsupportable claims, as follows:
25 (i) “The criminal proceedings implicate testimony regarding the alleged
26 misappropriation of funds by the Firm [EA], the Debtor and/or Avenatti; the assets and liabilities
27 of the Firm and the Debtor; statements made by Avenatti under oath in pleadings and documents
28 filed in the Involuntary Case; and the actions taken by Avenatti in the Involuntary Case. The
4
1 instant bankruptcy case and the OSC involve and relate directly to those same issues and to the
2 facts of the Involuntary Case.” Bankr. Dkt. Doc. 46 (Stay Motion, pp. 6, l 22 – p.7, ll. 24-2).
3 Avenatti describes these as “overlapping facts” which allow him to invoke his Fifth Amendment
4 rights. Id. p. 7, ll. 2-4. Than assertion is nonsense. The OSC has nothing to do with the
5 misappropriation of assets, the assets or liabilities of EA, or Avenatti’s actions in EA’s involuntary
6 bankruptcy case.
7 (ii) “Avenatti believes a stay of the OSC will avoid prospective discovery motions
8 brought by the parties arising out of an assertion of the Fifth Amendment.” Bankr. Dkt. Doc. 46
9 (Stay Motion, p. 8 of 11, ll. 13-14). But the OSC hearing does not contemplate any further
10 discovery. Either Avenatti will have a convincing explanation for the filing or he won’t.
& B ERGER LLP
11 (iii) “[A]llowing the civil and criminal cases to proceed simultaneously “would
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
12 undermine the public’s right to fair and efficient prosecution of its criminal laws, distract the
GOTTFRIE D
13 [criminal] Defendants and the USAO from fully preparing their respective cases, and divert the
14 Court’s attention with burdensome discovery litigation and duplicative law and motion. [Citation
L ANDAU
15 omitted].” Bankr. Dkt. Doc. 46 (Stay Motion, at pp. 8-9 of 11, ll. 26-2. But all Avenatti will be
16 called upon to do at the OSC hearing is explain why he filed the EA bankruptcy.
17 The case law citied by Avenatti also does not support a continuance of the OSC hearing
18 and ruling. The Receiver agrees with Avenatti’s assertion that the Constitution does not ordinarily
19 require a stay of civil proceedings pending the outcome of criminal proceedings. Federal Sav. &
20 Loan Ins. Corp. v. Molinaro, 889 F.2d 899, 902 (9th Cir. 1989); SEC v. Dresser Indus., 628 F.2d
21 1368, 1375 (D.C. Cir. 1980) (cert. denied, 449 U.S. 993 (1980)). “In the absence of substantial
22 prejudice to the rights of the parties involved, [simultaneous] parallel [civil and criminal]
23 proceedings are unobjectionable under our jurisprudence.” Dresser, 628 F.2d at 1374. But that is
24 not the end of the analysis, and Avenatti ignores the import of the remainder of his legal analysis.
25 Here, “the interests of justice [do not] seem to [and do not] require such action.” 628 F.2d
26 Id. at 1375 (quoting United States v. Kordel, 397 U.S. 1, 12 n.27 (1970)). That is so because there
27 are no competing interests between resolving the OSC and the federal Indictment against Avenatti
28 that would implicate his Fifth Amendment rights. As the Court explained in Keating v. Office of
5
1 Thrift Supervision, 45 F.3d 322, 324 (9th Cir. Jan. 18, 1995):
2 In addition, the decision maker should generally consider the following factors: (1)
3 the interest of the plaintiffs in proceeding expeditiously with this litigation or any
4 particular aspect of it, and the potential prejudice to plaintiffs of a delay; (2) the
5 burden which any particular aspect of the proceedings may impose on defendants;
6 (3) the convenience of the court in the management of its cases, and the efficient use
7 of judicial resources; (4) the interests of persons not parties to the civil litigation; and
8 (5) the interest of the public in the pending civil and criminal litigation.
9 In this case, delay does prejudice the Court, JFL and the Receiver. All three of them were
10 required to expend time and resources in dealing with the unauthorized bankruptcy. Avenatti’s
& B ERGER LLP
11 conduct also was an attack on a District Court order and the integrity of the judicial system at both
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
12 the District Court and Bankruptcy Court level. To indefinitely postpone the day of reckoning
GOTTFRIE D
13 without good reason for doing so should not be countenanced – it is “justice delayed is justice
14 denied.”
L ANDAU
15 Second, resolution of the OSC re Sanction places no undue burden on Avenatti. The Court
16 can address his Fifth Amendment concerns, if any, on a question by question basis as they arise.
17 But that is not likely to happen because the only question here is why Avenatti ignored the
18 Restraining Order and the Receiver’s warnings. Moreover, that conduct, as explained above, is
19 unrelated to the criminal charges against Avenatti. If Avenatti believes he had a legitimate reason
20 for making the bankruptcy filing, he can provide that explanation.
21 The third factor, convenience of the Court in the management of its cases and the efficient
22 use of judicial resources, also do not support Avenatti’s position. Instead, if Avenatti succeeds in
23 delaying the OSC hearing, the Court is again inconvenienced, and judicial resources are again
24 wasted. Moreover, Avenatti will again have gotten away with thumbing his nose at the judicial
25 system.
26 The fourth factor is not implicated by the OSC. The Court, JFL, the Receiver and Avenatti
27 are all parties in interest.
28 Finally, because the facts and law in issue in the OSC re Sanctions and Avenatti’s
6
1 Indictment have no factual or legal relationship to each other, the public interest in the pending
2 criminal proceeding will not be impacted by adjudicating the OSC. At the same time, however,
3 the public, in general, does have an interest in insuring that all parties receive equal treatment
4 under the law and that violation of the bankruptcy laws (or any other federal laws) will not be
5 tolerated by the judicial system.
6 2. Avenatti’s Substantive OSC Opposition Arguments Were Previously Rejected By
7 The Court Or Not Applicable.
8 a. Bankruptcy was not necessary to protect EA’s assets and its creditors.
9 Avenatti claims that he was justified in filing bankruptcy for EA to protect its assets and
10 creditors is nonsense. The District Court entered the Restraining Order and appointed the
& B ERGER LLP
11 Receiver to protect those assets and creditors – from Avenatti. And Avenatti expressly read,
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
12 agreed to and then signed the Stipulation appointing the Receiver, which included the Restraining
GOTTFRIE D
13 Order. After agreeing to that remedy, Avenatti repeatedly violated the restraining order to such an
14 extent that the Receiver has instructed his counsel to seek an OSC re Contempt against Avenatti in
L ANDAU
15 the District Court. Reitman Dec. ¶ 4.
16 It also seems apparent that Avenatti filed EA’s bankruptcy in bad faith. As soon as
17 Avenetti placed EA into bankruptcy, he notified the Receiver and counsel for JFL that (i) he
18 would not be appearing for the judgment debtor examination (to which he had stipulated) and (ii)
19 no bench warrant would be effective against him because “The court is divested of jurisdiction. It
20 lacks authority to do anything BY LAW!” See Bankr. Dkt. Doc. 14, (Emergency Motion to
21 Dismiss, Ex. D; Debtor’s Request for Standard Hearing and Briefing Schedule, p. 3, ll. 13-16). As
22 discussed in the Emergency Motion to Dismiss, Avenatti is dead wrong. The Ninth Circuit’s
23 opinion in Oil & Gas Co. v. Duryee, 9 F.3d 771, 772-73 (9th Cir. 1993) states that a bankruptcy
24 filed by a company’s former president while that company has a “state appointed rehabilitator
25 [receiver]” is “null and void” and will be dismissed.
26 Moreover, this bankruptcy was clearly filed to delay the judgment debtor exam set for
27 March 8, 2019. EA was in bankruptcy before this Court within the last year, which was then
28 dismissed. The only conceivable reason why Avenatti would, without any authority to do so,
7
1 place EA into bankruptcy was to waylay JFL’s judgment debtor examination of EA (through
2 Avenatti). Courts have determined that a bankruptcy that is filed seeking to achieve objectives
3 outside the legitimate scope of the bankruptcy laws (for a variety of tactical reasons) should be
4 dismissed. In re Marsch, 36 F.3d 825, 828 (9th Cir. 1994). For example, courts have found bad
5 faith in instances where debtors have filed multiple bankruptcies to delay foreclosure proceedings.
6 See e.g., In re Casse, 219 B.R. 657 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y 1998), aff’d, 198 F.3d 327 (2nd Cir. 1999).
7 Swap “foreclosure proceedings” with “debtor examination” and the exact same instance is present
8 here.
9 b. Avenatti knew he lacked authority to file EA’s bankruptcy petition.
10 Avenatti disingenuously claims that the pendency of a receivership does not normally
& B ERGER LLP
11 prevent a bankruptcy filing. Bankr. Dkt. Doc. 43 (OSC Response at p. 10 of 15, l. 10). True or
12 not, that assertion ignores the point.

15 Declaration, Ex. 1 Receivership Order, p. 15 of 24, l. 26). Worse yet, the Receiver pointed that
16 clause out to Avenatti and warned him not to violate that order in a phone conversation less than
17 30 minute before Avenatti filed EA’s bankruptcy petition. Id. (Receiver’s Declaration, p. 5 of 24,
18 ¶¶ 2-3, ll. 9-20).
19 c. Avenatti did not file EA’s bankruptcy to invoke the Court’s retained jurisdiction.
20 Avenatti apparently now asserts (he did not do so through his counsel at the hearing at
21 which the Court dismissed EA’s voluntary petition for relief) that he filed EA’s voluntary
22 bankruptcy petition to restructure the payment agreement with JFL that was a basis for the
23 dismissal of EA’s involuntary bankruptcy case. That, too, is nonsense.
24 As set forth in the Stipulation Avenatti signed, he agreed to the appointment of the
25 Receiver and the Restraining Order to temporarily stop JFL’s continuing collection efforts against
26 him and with the hope that the parties might reach a further agreement by which Avenatti and EA
27 would pay JFL. JFL was under no obligation to acquiesce to terms which it found unacceptable
28 and refused to accept those terms. Simply stated, Avenatti had no reason to file EA’s second
8
1 bankruptcy other than to avoid EA’s debtor examination which was scheduled for the following
2 morning and to thwart JFL’s and the Receiver’s efforts to enforce the Restraining Order.
3 III. CONCLUSION
4 For the foregoing reasons, the Receiver respectfully requests that the Court move forward
5 with the OSC hearing and, if warranted, issue appropriate sanctions against Avenatti.

1 DECLARATION OF JOHN P. REITMAN
2 I, John P. Reitman, declare as follows:
3 1. Except as otherwise stated, I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein;
4 and, if called as a witness, I could and would competently testify thereto under oath. I am an
5 attorney at law licensed to practice law in the State of California and before this Court. I am a
6 limited liability partner in Landau Gottfried & Berger LLP, counsel to Brian Weiss in his capacity
7 as the court appointed receiver for Eagan Avenatti, LLP in In re Eagan Avenatti, LLP, Case No.
8 8:18-CV-01644-VAP-KES, pending in the United States District Court, Central District of
9 California (the Receivership Case”).
10 2. I was present at the March 13, 2019, Court hearing on Jason Frank Law’s
& B ERGER LLP
11 emergency motion to dismiss the bankruptcy case that Mr. Avenatti had filed for EA on March 8.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
12 Counsel for Mr. Avenatti also was present at that hearing. At that hearing, the Court ordered the
GOTTFRIE D
13 case dismissed retroactive to the date it was filed (that order was entered March 19, as Doc. 39)
14 and issued its OSC re Sanctions against Avenatti (that order was entered March 15, as Doc 35).
L ANDAU
15 3. Exhibit 1 hereto is a true and correct copy of the Grand Jury Indictment
16 commencing United States of America v. Michael John Avenatti, SA CR No. 19-00061, in the
17 United States District Court, Central District of California, Southern Division. I obtained this
18 document from the District Court’s files.
19 4. Based on my review of email communications between the Receiver and Mr.
20 Avenatt and communications received from Mr. Avenatti’s counsel, I am informed and believe
21 that Mr. Avenatti has repeatedly violated the Restraining Order entered in the Receivership Case.
22 I have been instructed by the Receiver to seek an OSC re Contempt against Mr. Avenatti for
23 violating that Order.
24 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the
25 foregoing is true and correct and that this declaration was executed in Los Angeles, California on
26 April 24, 2019.

3 Michael J. Avenatti (“Avenatti”) hereby submits his Reply to the Receiver’s Reply
4 (“Receiver Reply”) to Avenatti’s Response (“Response”)1 to the Court’s Order to Show Cause Re
5 Sanctions For Filing Case in Violation of the Joint Stipulation re Order Appointing Receiver and
6 Issuing Restraining Order (“OSC”).
7 I. SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
8 The Receiver Reply fails to address the Response other than to cite to cases requiring
9 dismissal for a bad faith filing and to state that the arguments raised in the Response were already
10 raised at the hearing on the Motion to Dismiss. The instant case has already been dismissed making
11 the case law cited by the Receiver irrelevant. Moreover, the Reply cites no authority to contradict
12 the plethora of authority presented by Avenatti that sanctions are not warranted in this instance –
13 the Receiver Reply is silent as to whether sanctions should be issued. Also, the Court did not reject
14 the arguments made by Avenatti at the hearing as they relate to the OSC. To the contrary, the Court
15 specifically requested that Avenatti’s reasons for filing the bankruptcy as stated at the hearing be
16 put on the record so that the Court could evaluate whether sanctions were appropriate.
17 The Receiver Reply instead focuses on whether the OSC should go forward and appears to
18 be more of a response or objection to Avenatti’s Motion to Stay Contempt Proceedings Pending
19 Resolution of Related Criminal Action (“Stay Motion”) [Docket 45]. The Receiver’s arguments
20 relating to the Stay Motion fail because the severe prejudice to Avenatti that would result by him
21 having to choose between asserting his Constitutional rights to protect him in the criminal case or
22 waiving those rights to defend the OSC is not outweighed by the delay to the Court and parties that
23 would result in granting the Stay Motion.
24 Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the time, effort and cost related to the OSC appears
25 to be that which related to responding to the Petition in the first place. This concern was expressed
26 by Avenatti’s counsel at the hearing on the Motion to Dismiss when the subject of setting an OSC

1 was first presented. The concern expressed then as now is that the OSC will only invite more
2 litigation and expense, especially in light of the extremely short time the Chapter 11 case was
3 pending and the fairly simple grounds on which the Court dismissed the case. Moreover, given the
4 serious issues Avenatti has to now address in the pending criminal action, which may very well
5 involve the prior and most recent bankruptcy filings, the OSC and possible sanctions do not appear
6 necessary or appropriate.
7 For all these reasons which will be discussed in greater detail below, Avenatti requests the
8 OSC be stayed or that if the OSC goes forward, that the Court vacate the OSC in its entirety.
9 II. ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT OF AVENATTI’S REPLY
10 A. The OSC Does Implicate Avenatti’s Fifth Amendment Rights Because the Criminal
11 Proceedings Speak Directly to the Involuntary Case
12 The Receiver Reply is captioned as a reply to Avenatti’s Response to the OSC yet the
13 Receiver Reply speaks more to the Stay Motion. On the issues raised by the Receiver related to the
14 Stay Motion, the OSC certainly implicates Avenatti’s Fifth Amendment rights.
15 Particularly, while the Indictment does not directly cite or discuss the instant case, it does
16 relate directly to the Involuntary Case and “the operation of EA prior to and during its involuntary
17 bankruptcy” as stated by the Receiver. (See, Receiver Reply at page 4, lines 19-20.) The instant
18 case also involves the Involuntary Case and the operation of the Debtor during the Involuntary Case
19 because the dismissal and the Court’s retained jurisdiction of the Involuntary Case is at issue here.
20 Further, the assets and debts of the Debtor are certainly relevant to both this case and the Involuntary
21 Case. Finally, the Indictment cites directly to statements made and documents signed under penalty
22 of perjury in the Involuntary Case that may be at issue here and may require Avenatti’s explanation.
23 Because the Involuntary Case affects the OSC and the pending criminal matter, statements made by
24 Avenatti in this proceeding could prejudice him in the criminal matter. Avenatti faces severe
25 consequences in the criminal matter and he should be allowed to assert his Fifth Amendment rights
26 without fear of adverse inferences.

1 On the other hand, the only prejudice to the Court, the Judgment Creditor and the Receiver
2 is delay,2 as noted by the Receiver. (See, Receiver Reply at pg. 6, line 9.) To establish prejudice,
3 however, the Receiver must show more than mere delay. The Receiver failed to do so.
4 If the OSC is not stayed, judicial resources will not be used efficiently. The Receiver
5 suggests that the “Court can address his Fifth Amendment concerns, if any, on a question by
6 question basis as they arise.” (See, Receiver Reply at pg. 6, lines 15-16.) Addressing Avenatti’s
7 concerns on a question by question basis will waste the Court’s and other parties’ time with no
8 resolution because Avenatti will not answer any questions. The likely result of Avenatti not
9 answering questions based on his Fifth Amendment rights is that the hearing on the OSC would be
10 continued. Avenatti filed the Stay Motion to try to avoid the need for appearances at the currently
11 scheduled OSC only to have it be continued.
12 Finally, as to the public interest, there can be no question based on the almost daily news
13 stories that the public is interested in the criminal case pending against Avenatti. As such, the
14 criminal case should take precedence over the OSC.
15 For all these reasons, if the Court is not inclined to vacate the OSC as discussed below, the
16 OSC should be continued for at least six (6) months to allow the criminal case to continue and so
17 that Avenatti is not be placed in a position of choosing between asserting his Constitutional rights
18 to protect him in the criminal case or waiving those rights to defend the OSC.
19 B. The Receiver Reply Does Not Dispute the Law Cited by Avenatti that Rule 9011(b)(1)
20 Provides No Basis for Sanctions

21 The Receiver Reply contains very little discussion regarding the OSC despite the Response’s
22 lengthy discussion that there exists no basis for sanctions under Rule 9011(b)(1). In fact, the
23 Receiver Reply does not dispute any of Avenatti’s law or facts in support of his position that
24 sanctions are not appropriate. Instead, the Receiver Reply merely states that the arguments raised
25 were already raised at the hearing on the Dismissal Motion but that is exactly what the Court
26 requested at the hearing. Those arguments are summarized below.
27
2
28 It should be noted that the OSC need not be postponed indefinitely. The Court could postpone the OSC for six (6)
SHULMAN HODGES &
months or so until further information is known regarding the Indictment.

1 1. The Bankruptcy Was Necessary to Protect the Debtor and Its Assets
2 Despite the Receiver Reply’s assertion to the contrary, Avenatti has never stated or admitted
3 that the only reason he filed the bankruptcy was to avoid the JDE. While it may have been one of
4 the factors considered, Avenatti also took into account the Debtor’s various creditors and that the
5 bankruptcy was necessary to treat all creditors equally. Further, avoidance of the JDE was to protect
6 the Debtor and its creditors as the JDE potentially (and in fact did) provide a very public forum that
7 had the potential to hurt the value of estate assets (i.e. contingency fee matters where the Debtor
8 was counsel.)
9 The Receiver fails to cite even one case where dismissal for a bad faith filing resulted in the
10 issuance of sanctions under Rule 9011(b)(1). Instead, the Receiver Reply merely cites case law for
11 the proposition that cases filed in bad faith must be dismissed. The Receiver’s Motion to Dismiss
12 has already been decided here, and dismissal has already been ordered by this Court. The Receiver
13 Reply does nothing to contradict the plethora of authority presented by Avenatti that sanctions are
14 not warranted in this instance.
15 2. Avenatti Believed He Had the Absolute Right to File the Bankruptcy Petition
16 Moreover, whether or not the Receiver advised Avenatti not to file the bankruptcy is frankly
17 irrelevant. Avenatti believed he had the absolute right to file the bankruptcy. Further, the language
18 of the Stipulation does not strip Avenatti of the general right to file for bankruptcy protection.
19 Avenatti’s interpretation of the Stipulation is clearly different from that of the Receiver, but that is
20 not too difficult to understand when Avenatti did not draft the Stipulation.
21 Like above, the Receiver does not dispute or provide any authority contradicting the case
22 law cited by Avenatti that a debtor generally has the absolute right to file a bankruptcy despite a
23 pending federal receivership, subject to some limited exceptions not present here.
24 3. Avenatti Believed He Could Invoke the Court’s Retained Jurisdiction

25 Finally, the Receiver asserts that Avenatti did not file the bankruptcy to try to restructure the
26 payment agreement with the Judgment Creditor. The Receiver has no personal knowledge and
27 cannot possibly know Avenatti’s reasons for filing the bankruptcy. It cannot be disputed, however,
28 that the Involuntary Case was dismissed based upon an agreement to a payment plan of the Judgment
SHULMAN HODGES &
BASTIAN LLP
Suite 600
Irvine, CA 92618
6020-000\1360307.1 5
1 Creditor’s debt and that the dismissal of that case included the Bankruptcy Court’s retained
2 jurisdiction. Avenatti agreed to the appointment of a receiver because he believed the Judgment
3 Creditor would attend mediation and attempt to resolve its judgment against the Debtor. When it
4 became clear the Judgment Creditor would not do so, Avenatti invoked the Court’s retained
5 jurisdiction to try to re-work a payment arrangement with the Judgment Creditor.
6 III. CONCLUSION
7 In summary, the Receiver does not dispute that the bankruptcy was not filed to harass or to
8 cause unnecessary delay or a needless increase in the cost of litigation and as such, sanctions are not
9 warranted. In addition, the prejudice to the Court and other parties by a delay in the OSC
10 proceedings is severely outweighed by the prejudice to Avenatti if the OSC is not stayed because
11 he would be denied his Constitutional rights. For all these reasons, Avenatti respectfully requests
12 that the Court stay the OSC proceeding or that if it does not, that the Court vacate the OSC and not
13 award any amount of sanctions against Avenatti individually or the Debtor.

1 Brian Weiss, the court appointed receiver (the “Receiver”) for the estate of Trial Group,
2 LLP, f/k/a Eagan Avenatti, LLP (“EA”) submits his sur-reply in support of this Court’s Order To
3 Show Cause In Violation Of The Joint Stipulation Re Order Appointing Receiver And Issuing
4 Restraining Order (the “OSC”).
5 In his purported reply (the “Reply”) to the OSC, Avenatti argues that “the Receiver does
6 not dispute or provide any authority contradicting the case law cited by Avenatti that a debtor
7 generally has the absolute right to file a bankruptcy despite a pending federal receivership…”
8 Reply at 5:21-23. This is, to be charitable, a straw man argument: The Receiver is not claiming
9 that the debtor EA lacked the authority to go into bankruptcy, he is claiming that Avenatti lacked
10 the authority to place EA into bankruptcy. In fact, Avenatti’s failure to acknowledge controlling
& B E RGER LLP
11 law in this Circuit is far worse. Cal. Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 3.3(a)(1) and (2).
12 In re Sino Clean Energy, Inc., 901 F.3d 1139 (9th Cir. 2018) discusses the issue of who
ATTO RNEYS AT LA W
GOTTFR IED
13 has authority to file a bankruptcy petition on behalf of a legal entity. In Sino, the debtor (Sino)
14 had a receiver appointed in May 2014, prior to the filing of bankruptcy. The order appointing that
L ANDAU
15 receiver granted the receiver, inter alia, the power to reconstitute Sino’s board of directors, which
16 he did, replacing the board with a sole director. Id. at 1140-41. In July 2015, the former chairman
17 and CEO (Baowen Ren) purported to “reconstitute” the former Sino board of directors, and
18 thereafter filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 relief on behalf of Sino. The bankruptcy court
19 dismissed that action in August of 2015, holding that, at the time the petition was filed by Ren and
20 the former board members, the petition was filed without corporate authority because the Sino
21 board of directors had been replaced by the Receiver under state law (per the receivership order).
22 The Ninth Circuit affirmed, citing to Oil & Gas Co. v. Duryee, 9 F.3d 771 (9th Cir. 1993),
23 and stating the following:
24 A voluntary petition for bankruptcy under § 301 is commenced by the filing of a

25 bankruptcy petition by an entity that may be a debtor . . . State law determines who
26 has the authority to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of a debtor. Price
27 v. Gurney, 324 U.S. 100, 106-07, 65 S. Ct. 513, 89 L. Ed. 776 (1945); see also
28 Keenihan v. Heritage Press, Inc., 19 F.3d 1255, 1258 (8th Cir. 1994) ("A person
2
1 filing a voluntary bankruptcy petition on a corporation's behalf must be authorized to
2 do so, and the authorization must derive from state law.").
3 ....
4 We ruled that, pursuant to the rehabilitation order, the rehabilitator was the only
5 person authorized to commence bankruptcy proceedings on behalf of Oil & Gas. Id.
6 As a result, we held that the individual not authorized by the rehabilitation order who
7 was purporting to file bankruptcy on behalf of the corporation was an “impostor,”
8 and the action was “null and void” as “fraudulently filed.” Id. That same logic applies

11 El Torero Licores v. Raile (In re El Torero Licores), No. SACV 13-00875-VAP, 2013 U.S.
12 Dist. LEXIS 179953 (C.D. Cal. Dec. 20, 2013) 1 dealt with a similar issue. The debtor, El Toro
ATTO RNEYS AT LA W
GOTTFR IED
13 Licores, was placed into a receivership by the Orange County Superior Court in September 2011.
14 In September 2012, the superior court granted the receiver’s ex parte application, vesting her with
L ANDAU
15 the sole authority to file a bankruptcy petition on behalf of the debtor. Licores, 2013 U.S. Dist.
16 LEXIS 179953 *2-3. On January 22, 2013, the Bonilla Brothers (who formally ran the debtor)
17 filed a Chapter 11 petition on behalf of El Toro Licores. On February 8, 2013, the bankruptcy
18 court (on the Receiver’s motion) dismissed the bankruptcy stating, “Debtor lacked authorization to
19 file bankruptcy in view of the vesting in the Receiver of the exclusive authority to file.” Id. at *3.
20 The District Court affirmed, stating the following:
21 Here, the state court entered an order on September 13, 2012 vesting Receiver with
22 the sole authority to file a bankruptcy petition on behalf of Debtor. (AER at 231-32.)
23 The order also explicitly deprived the Bonilla Brothers of any power to file
24 bankruptcy on behalf of Debtor. (Id.) Therefore, under state law, none of the Bonilla
25 Brothers have authority to file a bankruptcy petition on behalf of Debtor.

1 The Receivership Order . . . does not divest Debtor from the its power to seek
2 bankruptcy protection; rather, the order identifies who has the power to file the
3 bankruptcy petition on behalf of Debtor. As the Supreme Court stated
4 in Price, "nowhere is there any indication that Congress bestowed on the bankruptcy
5 court jurisdiction to determine that those who in fact do not have the authority to
6 speak for the corporation as a matter of local law are entitled to be given such
7 authority and therefore should be empowered to file a petition on behalf of the
8 corporation." Price, 324 U.S. at 107. Thus, the Receivership Order does not run
9 contrary to Congress's right to enact uniform laws of bankruptcy or change the

10 application of bankruptcy laws to debtors.
& B E RGER LLP
11 The Bonilla Brothers also cite In re Cash Currency Exch., 762 F.2d 542, 552 (7th Cir.
12 1985) for the proposition that "the exclusivity of an administrative receiver's title to
ATTO RNEYS AT LA W
GOTTFR IED
13 all assets under state law is irrelevant in the determination whether a particular entity
14 may file for bankruptcy relief . . . a corporation may not be precluded by state law
L ANDAU
15 from availing itself of federal bankruptcy law." (Appellant Br. at 6) (quoting Cash
16 Currency, 762 F.2d at 552). As stated above, however, the Receivership Order
17 does not preclude Debtor from availing itself of bankruptcy protection but only
18 restricts who may file the petition on its behalf. If Receiver determines that it is
19 in the best interest of Debtor to file bankruptcy, Receiver has the power to do
20 so.
21 Id. at *16-19 (emphasis added). This is precisely the same issue that is currently before the Court
22 (and was before the Court in dismissing the bankruptcy case that Avenatti filed for “the Trial
23 Group”). Regardless of Avenatti’s perceived “authority”, the reality was that he (i) had no such
24 authority; (ii) was on actual notice that he had no such authority; and (iii) had voluntarily agreed to
25 give up that authority.
26 Lastly, Avenatti argues in his “Reply” that he believed he could exercise the reserved
27 jurisdiction of this Court from the 2017 EA bankruptcy case. Avenatti apparently has forgotten
28 that this Court abstained from this case in the fall of 2018 and divested itself of jurisdiction
4
1 entirely. Docket No. 585 from In re Eagan Avenatti, 8:17-bk-11961-CB states the following:
2 Bankruptcy Case Closed - DISMISSED. An Order dismissing the above referenced
3 case was entered and notice was provided to parties in interest. Since it appears that
4 no further matters are required that this case remain open, or that the jurisdiction of
5 this Court continue, it is ordered that the case is closed. (Daniels, Sally) (Entered:
6 10/23/2018)
7 In re Eagan Avenatti, 8:17-bk-11961-CB, Docket No. 585 Entry (text only) (emphasis added).
8 Regardless of what Avenatti believed he could do, the reality was (i) he could not do so
9 and (ii) he was on actual notice that he could not do so. Moreover, if Avenatti truly believed this
10 was what he was doing, he would have moved to re-open the prior case, not file a new bankruptcy
& B E RGER LLP
11 case from scratch.
