Arrowhead Capital Finance, Ltd. v. Seven Arts Entertainment, Inc.
Negotiable Instrument | New York Southern
Order on Motion to Expedite
ORDER denying without prejudice 377 Letter Motion to Expedite. The Court is in receipt of letters from Mr. Goldin dated September 27 and September 30, 2026 (Dkt. #377, 378); an email from Mr. Stillman dated September 29, 2026, which included a September 25, 2026 letter from Dr. Jethro Hu regarding Mr. Hoffman's medical condition; and a letter via email from Mr. Stillman dated October 1, 2026. These letters principally concern (i) Mr. Hoffman's request for an adjournment sine die of the October 7, 2026 hearing due to his ongoing post-surgical recovery, (ii) Mr. Goldin's request for authorization for himself and Mr. Woods, to disburse royalties, fees, and other proceeds from Mr. Goldin's PA IOLTA, and (iii) the parties' re-litigation of several issues that the Court addressed in prior orders. First, the Court DENIES, without prejudice, Mr. Hoffman's requested adjournment of the October 7, 2026 hearing. The Court disagrees with Mr. Stillman's suggestion that an adjournment would not prejudice Arrowhead. The original hearing was scheduled for June 15, 2026, and every day without resolution creates additional prejudice to Arrowhead. Moreover, the Court has difficulty reconciling Dr. Hu's report with Mr. Hoffman's active and continued participation in litigation before this Court, the Los Angeles County Superior Court, and, it would appear, the Bermudan courts. Thus, Mr. Hoffman's requested adjournment is DENIED without prejudice to renewal. On a renewed application, Mr. Hoffman is directed to supply a more robust explication of his physical and/or cognitive limitations that prevent him for participating in the scheduled October 7, 2026 video conference, with accompanying medical documentation (in camera, if need be). Second, for similar reasons, the Court DENIES Mr. Hoffman's request for an adjournment of his deadline, until October 14, 2026, to respond to Mr. Goldin's request for IOLTA disbursements. However, given the timing of the Court's resolution, the Court will grant a grace period until October 5, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., for Mr. Hoffman to file his response. Third, the Court will not relitigate either the jurisdictional or Bermudan law issues discussed in the parties' letters, as the Court has resolved those issues in its prior orders. (Dkt. #370, 372, 376). The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the pending motion at docket entry 377. (Signed by Judge Katherine Polk Failla on 10/1/2026) (rro)
