EMERGENCY MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION FOR
LEAVE TO FILE: MOTION TO RECONSIDER STAY OF DOMAIN
NAME SALES PENDING APPEAL
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE ROYAL FURGESON:
COMES NOW JEFF BARON, and moves this Court to reconsider granting
leave to file the following motion to reconsider stay of the sale of domain names
pending appeal as this Honorable Court advised the Fifth Circuit would be done.
[Doc 631].
1. Review of the ruling of this Honorable Court indicates that this Honorable
Court’s ruling was based in the impression that Baron attempted to seek concurrent
relief in the appellate court. If relevant to the considerations of this Honorable
Court, that impression is in error.
2. Baron filed only
for relief before this Honorable Court, and the LLCs filed
before the Fifth Circuit in conformity with the directives and orders of this

Honorable Court. Baron was not a party to the motion before the Fifth Circuit.
See Attached Exhibit A.
3. This motion for reconsideration raises the foregoing to the attention of the
Court, if that matter is relevant to the Court’s decision regarding stay.
4. Your Honor entered an Advisory order stating that Your Honor “would stay
orders concerning the sale of domain names and orders concerning fees to be paid
to the Baron attorneys pending appeal.” If relevant movant notes that: (1) Baron
has no secret off-shore bank accounts; (2) The assets are not being sold at
reasonable prices; (3) The assets are not owned by Baron, they are owned by the
Village Trust, a medical research trust set up by Baron over half a decade ago;
(4) Baron has never
received income or taken funds from the trust for his personal
use.
WHEREFORE, Jeff Baron respectfully requests his Honorable Court to
reconsider granting leave to file for stay of the domain name sales pending
resolution of the issues on appeal before the Fifth Circuit.
Respectfully submitted,

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT OF
APPEALS:
COMES NOW Novo Point LLC, and Quantec LLC, Appellants, and move
for an emergency order to immediately and temporarily stay the order of the
District Court to sell immediately in private, no-auction sales what appears to be
$60 Million
in assets for $0.02 cents on the Dollar. The District Court had advised
this Honorable Court that if allowed to rule on the motions to sell the domain name
assets it would stay the sales to allow appeal. SR. v9 p97. Contrary to the
District Court’s advisory to this Honorable Court, it has not stayed the sales, and
has ordered they be conducted immediately.
Jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals
When property is placed into a receivership, it is taken into possession by
the court through its representative, the receiver. See Booth v. Clark, 58 U.S. 322,
331 (1855). When a receivership order is appealed, the effect of the appeal is that
the appellate court has “jurisdiction over the res the same as the trial court had”.
Palmer v. Texas, 212 U.S. 118, 126 (1909). Accordingly, this Honorable Court
currently holds possession and jurisdiction over the assets of Novo Point LLC and
Quantec, LLC. R. 3934, 4306. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1651, this Honorable Court
may issue “all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective
jurisdictions”. If the District Court’s order authorizing sale of receivership
assets— the domain names owned by Novo Point LLC and Quantec LLC— is not
