be simply stated to the extent that there is a colorable argument there are merits to this appeal and given the total absence of any prejudice to the respondent should the  judgment be stayed and the counter very prejudicial impact that it would have on my clients should it not i think i could issue a tilt towards the sting of the judgment of the district court while the appeal  is pending as the court may know the appellate brief is going to be filed within eight days from today actually seven days from today and a we would expect not more than a few months pending you know the the appeal as i indicated my papers this was a decision pursuant to a summary judgment motion the appeal before the court is not only subject to a de novo review but it also involves an area of law which formula and indeed sometimes even the most common pranks that are usually required to establish the prime officially case may be dispensed with under certain particular circumstance it appears we conten grantees however we like to draw the court's attention to fact that there are court of appeals cases in new york which held that when there's a confidential relationship among family members the promise itself can be the spends it with interesting lee the district court did find that there was a confidential relationship the fact that was not even disputed by the response also interesting lee which we think supports the merits in our appeal is that certain operative facts were stablished in our favor by way of example for thirty three plus years the plaintiffs had been to the fact the owners no dispute about  that at any given time no consideration was ever paid by the respondent by the defendants and at least no proof to that extent was offered with to the district court  point in time today ever content that somehow he was received preferential treatment or was the beneficiary of greater affection by his dad which would have justified at the end of the day just naming him has the sole beneficial owner of the property at the expense of the other children so when looked in the light of the core established operative facts with the against the genetics of the case we do feel that the appeal definitely has merit and the district court reiterated that in its decision to deny my motion to stay the judgment said basically that we made no response  o our motion we made no effort sorry to respond that there was no promise expressed or implied but in fact we did and we did provide some the court of appeals authority which are resided in this present motion which the decision we feel omitted from its analysis or at least it did not extend the full benefit of its import again your honor when it comes to the irreparable damage here if it were not stayed this is the undeniable truth that we have here we have a defendant who has no connection whatsoever to the united states they hold no property here they don't even have a social security number except for this property which was the object of the dispute there's nothing while this appeal is pending it is plausible that they can sell it in comfort or do whatever they want as of the as a record right now they are they are the fee simple owners all we're asking is to preserve the status quo they waited thirty two years for reasons that they were not able to explain why suddenly they exercise their rights as a bonafide official owners i'm sure they can wait another three four months and that's really unless the court has any questions concerning either the facts or perhaps this appeal has absolutely no merit here's four elements for that prevent this from the claim from establishing a construct of trust or number one the claim is based on the fact that the father of the plaintiffs in the defendants said that this home was going to be a family home when he purchased it in the early one nine hundred eighty s case there are many cases which hold that simply the statement that the home is a family home does not create a can trust a construct of trust on behalf of the entire family to claim that their ownership of it none of the appellant's contributed adare towards the purchase of this property so they're not being deprived of anything in the event that a constructive trust was not is not enforced my client's the a pelleas never made any promise that this property would be held in a constructive trust the so ground that constructor trust is being claimed is again on the grounds that the father who transferred title to himself and now showed her j the defendant with jointly with rights of survivorship said it was going to be a family home the testimony was clear as established in the summary judgment motion that my client now shut her j and for that matter superior her j made no promise regarding who owned or who had any rights to this property and before it was quite clear in the appellants papers that they are basing this claim for a constructive trust on the grounds that the father wished wished that this would be a family on the case law is entirely clear that you impose a constructive trust to prevent a fraud not to enforce the alleged tent of an individual i cited and it's part of my papers in opposition to the motion a list of fifteen cases with extremely similar if not entirely similar facts in which case is claiming a constructive trust were dismissed there isn't a single case cited other than some very generic cases holding that some of these rules might be a little bit flexible they might be but not in these circumstances to sell the property before the i doubt that would be possible they're planning to regain possession make any repairs that are necessary retain a broker and yes they will ultimately market the house for sale but that will certainly take six plus months before there's any kind of sale and although we believe the motion should be denied in the alternative if the court or inclined to grant any kind of stay we would agree to hold the psalms from the sale in escrow pending the appeal the net proceeds from the sale of the home and oh just a brief mention prejudiced my client is elderly he lives in tanzania there's no social security in tanzania there's no medicare and in tanzania he has been prejudiced by the delay that he suffered in selling this home this is his retirement savings he needs to sell us as soon as possible and he's in ill health the clients have received a tremendous benefit no doubt by living in the house for over thirty years without paying rent but that doesn't create a reparable injury that's a benefit that they've enjoyed and the time has come after thirty years for them firm by the way have owned their own houses in west chester which they rented out for years and years and years the prejudice is going to be suffered by my client particularly where the appeal has absolutely no merit so your client would not possession is the primary thing right now as a practical matter as i say doubt the house will get sold in six months so they would be willing to agree to hold the net proceeds in escrow pending the appeal and the decision yes you issue a decision as soon as possible
