The following e-filed documents, listed by NYSCEF document number (Motion 018) 812, 813, 822, 823, 824, 825, 826, 827, 828, 829, 830, 831, 832, 833, 834, 835, 837, 839, 840, 841, 842, 843, 844, 845, 862, 864 were read on this motion to/for STAY. DECISION ORDER ON MOTION Upon the foregoing documents, French-American Surgery Center, Inc., French American Clinic, Inc. and Jean-Francois Simon’s (collectively, the Defendants) motion for a stay is denied as moot.

(FASC) and certain assets owned by nominal defendant Franclnvest, S.A. (Franclnvest). The Plaintiff is the brother of defendant Jean-Francois Simon (Francois) and the sister of non-party Anne Valerie. Their father, Jean Jacques Simon (Jacques), formed Franclnvest to pass on his wealth to his children (NYSCEF Doc. No. 543, 51). The Plaintiff was allegedly the largest shareholder of Franclnvest at the time of its founding (id., 54). In 1982, Jacques formed the entity French-American Clinic Inc.
