On 09/05/23, The Fifth Circuit granted, in part, Barton’s requested stay, staying the Receiver’s power to sell or dispose of property belonging to Receivership Entities, except for activities in furtherance of sales or dispositions of property that had already been approved by the District Court. (Op. at 13). Barton later asked the Fifth Circuit to broaden this stay so that, among other things, Receiver would be precluded from continuing with his forensic accounting (and the tracing described herein). On August 24, 2023, the Fifth Circuit denied Barton’s requested stay. On August 31, 2023, the Fifth Circuit withdrew its prior opinion, entered a new opinion substantially similar to the prior opinion though clarifying that Receiver could not close any previously approved property sales without a new receivership order, and issued its mandate. Receiver have been ordered to prepare it by the Court.
