(WNY News Now) – In an ongoing legal battle, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, has issued a significant supplemental order regarding the lawsuit filed by Letitia James, the Attorney General of the State of New York, against Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Allen Weisselberg, Jeffrey McConney, and various Trump-affiliated entities.
NYC – The Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, has issued a consequential supplemental order in the case of Letitia James, the Attorney General of the State of New York, against former President Donald J. Trump, his children Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, as well as Allen Weisselberg and Jeffrey McConney, alongside numerous Trump-associated entities.
The court’s previous decision, issued on September 26, 2023, had denied the defendants’ motion for summary judgment while granting, in part, the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. One of the notable provisions of the September 26 Order was the cancellation of certificates filed under GBL § 130 by entities controlled or beneficially owned by the aforementioned individuals.
The newly issued supplemental order specifies several critical directives:
Receiver Selection Deadline: The parties have been given until October 26, 2023, to provide the court with potential names for independent receivers tasked with managing the dissolution of the canceled LLCs.
Section 130 Entities Listing: Defendants are required, within seven days of the supplemental order, to furnish the Independent Monitor, the Hon. Barbara S. Jones (Ret.), with a comprehensive list of all entity defendants and other entities under the control or beneficial ownership of Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Allen Weisselberg, and Jeffrey McConney, which have existing certificates filed pursuant to GBL § 130.
Ownership Disclosure: For each of the Section 130 Entities, defendants must inform the Monitor about any third-party ownership, partnership, or membership interests in these entities.
Plaintiff’s Assistance: Plaintiff Letitia James is directed to aid the Monitor by verifying the information provided by defendants regarding the Section 130 Entities through access to Department of State records.
Notification Requirements: Defendants are obligated to provide the Monitor with advance notice of various actions related to the Section 130 Entities, including applications for new business certificates, asset transfers, distributions, assignments of rights, disclosures to third parties, modifications to contracts, and notices of default events resulting from the September 26 Order.
The court’s latest order, dated October 4, 2023, is another development in a closely watched legal battle that continues to unfold.
