Hing Chi Ngok, Greenwich Land LLC . . . to Comply with Rule 2004 Subpoenas* (\"Motion\") (Doc. No. 1048), filed by Luc A. Despins, the Chapter 11 Trustee (the \"Trustee\"), on October 28, 2022. In support of their objection, the Respondents respectfully represent as follows:\n\n1. The Trustee served Rule 2004 Subpoenas on Greenwich Land and Mrs. Ngok on August 22, 2022 and August 23, 2022, respectively (\"Subpoena\" individually, and \"Subpoenas\" collectively).\n\n2. Counsel for the Trustee and counsel for Respondents have met and conferred regarding the Subpoenas on multiple occasions, including September 16, 2022, September 30, 2022, and October 20, 2022.\n\n3. On October 24, 2022, Trustee and Respondents submitted a *Consent Order Regarding Hing Chi Ngok's Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Subpoena for Rule 2004 Examination* (\"Consent Order\") (Doc. No. 1022).\n\n4. Pursuant to the Consent Order, the Trustee consented to an extension of time for Respondents to produce documents in response to the Subpoenas through November 8, 2022.\n\n5. Respondents have communicated their diligence in searching for responsive documents to the Trustee.\n\n6. At no point have the Respondents or counsel for Respondents represented that they are refusing to search for \"whole categories of documents.\"\n\n7. A history of cooperation, meet-and-confer discussions, a Consent Order on the timing of production, and ongoing assurances that a search for responsive documents is underway provides no basis for an expedited hearing.\n\n8. The Trustee's assertion that the Respondents are \"either impeding the Trustee's investigation or failing to respond altogether\" lacks merit. Motion at ¶ 10. Pursuant to the Consent Order, the Respondents' extended deadline to produce documents is November 8, 2022. Since this date is still over a week away, there is no basis for the Trustee to assert that the Respondents have failed to respond.\n\n9. Further, the Motion seeks to expedite the hearing on the underlying motion to compel to November 7, 2022 (at the earliest) which is *prior to* the consented deadline for production of November 8, 2022. A hearing on such date (or November 8, 2022) would thus be premature.\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Hing Chi Ngok and Greenwich Land LLC request that the Court deny the Motion.\n\nDated at Hartford, Connecticut this 1st day of November 2022.\n\n## HING CHI NGOK and GREENWICH LAND LLC\n\nBy: */s/ Evan S.

Despins 于 2022年10月28日 提交的《根据〈联邦破产诉讼程序规则〉第 9006(c)(1) 条请求就第 11 章受托人请求作出命令强制……Hing Chi Ngok、Greenwich Land LLC……遵守第 2004 条传票之动议加快举行听证会的动议》（“动议”）（文件编号：1048）提出异议。为支持其异议，被答辩人谨陈述如下：\n\n1. 受托人分别于 2022年8月22日 和 2022年8月23日 向 Greenwich Land 和岳女士送达了第 2004 条传票（单独称为“传票”，合称为“多份传票”）。\n\n2. 受托人的律师与被答辩人的律师已就多份传票多次进行磋商讨论，包括 2022年9月16日、2022年9月30日 以及 2022年10月20日。\n\n3. 2022年10月24日，受托人与被答辩人提交了一份《关于 Hing Chi Ngok 请求延长对第 2004 条审查传票作出答复期限之动议的同意裁定》（“同意裁定”）（文件编号：1022）。\n\n4. 根据同意裁定，受托人同意将答辩人针对多份传票出示文件的截止期限延长至 2022年11月8日。\n\n5. 被答辩人已向受托人通报了其在检索应答文件方面的勤勉尽责情况。\n\n6. 被答辩人或被答辩人的律师在任何时候均未表示过拒绝检索“整个类别的文件”。\n\n7. 合作的历史、磋商讨论、关于出示文件时间的同意裁定，以及对正在进行应答文件检索的持续保证，均无法构成加快举行听证会的依据。\n\n8. 受托人声称被答辩人“要么阻碍受托人的调查，要么完全不予答复”的说法毫无根据。见动议第 10 段。根据同意裁定，被答辩人出示文件的延期截止日期为 2022年11月8日。鉴于距该日期尚有一周以上的时间，受托人声称被答辩人未能作出答复没有任何依据。\n\n9. 此外，该动议请求将针对基础强制动议的听证会（最早）加快至 2022年11月7日 举行，这早于经双方同意的 2022年11月8日 的文件出示截止日期。因此，在该日期（或 2022年11月8日）举行听证会尚为时过早。\n\n鉴于上述理由，Hing Chi Ngok 与 Greenwich Land LLC 谨请求法院驳回该动议。\n\n2022年11月1日 订于康涅狄格州哈特福德。\n\nHING CHI NGOK 与 GREENWICH LAND LLC\n\n签署人：/s/ Evan S.
