On March 14, 2017, the Federal Court reserved the determination on the motion to hear CWCAM’s request for reconsideration of the motion to dismiss, denied the motion to remand the matter to state court and granted the motion to transfer the proceeding to the SDNY Court. Cross motions for judgment on the pleadings were filed but the SDNY Court was unable to decide the case based on the pleadings and the SDNY Court ordered discovery.

An appeal of the SDNY Court’s decision was taken on April 29~~paragraphs, ~~2020.~~there Oral argument on the appeal occurred on June 21, 2021.

CWCI sought ~~leave~~ leave to file an appeal of the decision. The plaintiff also sought leave to ~~appeal~~ appeal the dismissal of the claims against CWCAM. Both requests for leave were ~~denied~~ denied by the First Department. On May 15, 2020, CWCI and CWCAM filed a motion to to renew its motion to dismiss as to 4 of the remaining counts (including the remaining two counts against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment), based on a decision entered by Judge Failla in a trust instruction proceeding in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York awarding summary judgment in favor of CWCAM. On September 7, 2021, the court denied the motion to renew. CWCI and CWCAM filed a notice of appeal, which they perfected by the filing of their opening brief on July 1, 2022. On November 15, 2022, the First Department affirmed the court’s denial of the motion to renew. On October 1, 2021, CWCI and CWCAM moved to reargue the denial of the motion to renew (or alternatively, the motion to dismiss) with respect to certain of Cobalt’s claims, including the remaining 2 claims against CWCAM, based on the First Department’s April 27, 2021 decision. On March 24, 2022, the court denied the relief sought in the motion to reargue. CWCI and CWCAM appealed the court’s decision on the motion to reargue and filed their opening brief on July 11, 2022. The appeal was dismissed as being non-appealable on August 30, 2022. Discovery (both fact and expert) concluded on March 1, 2024. CWCAM and CWCI filed a motion for summary judgment on March 29, 2024, seeking dismissal of all the claims in their entirety.
