The Trustee further requests that the deadline for DBS to respond to the Motion to Compel be set one week in advance of the adjourned hearing date. DBS consents to this relief.\n\n*[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]*\n\n2\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2517 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 09:09:01 Page 3 of 6\n\nWHEREFORE, the Trustee respectfully requests that the Court grant the Motion to Adjourn by entering the Proposed Consent Order and grant such other relief as is just and proper.\n\nDated: January 23, 2024 LUC A.
