 Lionel's Legal Matters
Practically speaking, in order for the stay to be lifted, Lionel next move would be to make a motion in the North Carolina Bankruptcy Court to have the stay lifted and/or allow the restraining order issued by the New York court to be enforced.
Lionel certainly has standing to do this since they are a named defendant in K-Line's bankruptcy case (something that is very unusual in a such a proceeding), and it also directly affects their trade secrets case and own bankruptcy proceeding.
Lionel's appeal is currently pending in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, a federal court located in Cincinnati, Ohio.

From its debut at Chicago’s then under-construction Union Station, the “new” Alton Limited held the title “Handsomest Train in the World.” In the tradition of the Blue Comet Passenger Set, Lionel presents an O gauge version of the 1924 Alton Limited.
