Appearance of Counsel · Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP
A one-page Form AO 458 (Appearance of Counsel) entered on the docket of United States v. Miles Guo, S3 23 Cr. 118 (AT) (S.D.N.Y.), on August 18, 2026.
What it records
Sharon Cohen Levin of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP enters an appearance as counsel of record for Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, which appears in this criminal case not as a defendant but as a petitioner — a law firm asserting an interest in property subject to forfeiture.
Why it matters to the docket
The appearance is the procedural companion to Doc 870, the Stipulation and Order filed the same day, under which the Government recognizes Pillsbury as a bona fide purchaser for value of approximately $3.3 million in legal fees paid to it by G Club International Ltd. and G Club Operations LLC before September 1, 2023. Both documents bear the same counsel signature; the stipulation was executed on July 29, 2026 and entered three weeks later.
The filing itself contains no factual allegations or legal argument — it is the standard notice by which an attorney becomes counsel of record. Its substance is entirely in the identification of the party represented and the point in the forfeiture proceeding at which that representation was entered.
