BRODERICK, United States District Judge: On December 27, 2021, I issued an Opinion and Order dismissing Defendant and Third- Party Plaintiff May Yan Chen’s (“Chen”) Third-Party Complaint. (Doc. 81 (the “December 27 Order”).) On April 9, 2024, I issued an Opinion and Order denying Chen’s motion for reconsideration. (Doc. 193 (the “April 9 Order”).) On May 9, 2024, Chen filed a Notice of Appeal from the December 27 Order and April 9 Order. (Doc. 194.)

The filing of a notice of appeal “confers jurisdiction on the court of appeals and divests the district court of its control over those aspects of the case involved in the appeal.” Griggs v. Provident Consumer Disc. Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58 (1982). The appeal does not concern the following pending motions: Defendants’ motion to disqualify Plaintiff's counsel Xiyan Zhang and Pete Wolfgram, (Doc. 144); Plaintiff's motion to disqualify Defendants’ counsel Richard Schrier and William Shayne, and for default judgment, dismissal, and attorneys’ fees for fraud on the court, (Doc. 145); Plaintiff’s second motion for default judgment, dismissal, and attorneys’ fees for fraud on the court, (Doc. 168); and Defendants’ motion for, among other things, a disbursement of funds, (Doc. 183).

Accordingly, if I do not hear from the parties by May 31, 2024, I shall proceed in my review of these motions.

SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 24, 2024 y a.
