11/9/2023389ELECTRONIC ORDER: The Court must expeditiously resolve the questions of whether there is a receivership, the scope if there is one, and ratification of past actions.

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Receiver's request for an extension to file the fourth quarterly report. [Doc. 384] (Ordered by Judge Brantley Starr on 11/9/2023) (chmb) (Entered: 11/09/2023)
11/9/2023388ELECTRONIC ORDER: The Court DENIES Barton's extension motion to respond to the Receiver's ratifying motions. [Doc. 387] The Court has set an expedited briefing schedule for a reason. The Court is under a tight timeline to resolve the SEC's appointment of a receivership, and this schedule is warranted so the Court has time to decide the issues before it. And Barton objected to the Court ordering briefing before the mandate issued, so this timeline is a product of Barton. Accordingly, the Court will be sticking to its expedited briefing schedule.

7/16/2023293ELECTRONIC ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties Joint Status Report (Doc. 292 ), and because the parties have not consented to proceed before the mandate issues, the Court lacks jurisdiction to order the parties to proceed. Once the mandate issues, the Court intends to order the SEC to move for appointment of a receiver. Consistent with the Fifth Circuits opinion, the Court will require the SECs motion to (1) request appointment of a receiver under the factors set out in Netsphere, Inc. v. Baron, 703 F.3d 296, 305 (5th Cir. 2012); (2) request injunctive relief; and (3) provide a basis for the inclusion of entities in the receivership that complies with the Fifth Circuits standard, i.e., that limits the receivership to entities that received or benefitted from assets traceable to Bartons alleged fraudulent activities that are the subject of this litigation. That motion will be due within one week of the Fifth Circuits mandate issuing. The Court will set a briefing schedule for the motion once the mandate issues.
