In support of the Motion to Adjourn, the Trustee respectfully states the following:\n\n1. The Trustee filed the Motion to Compel on November 29, 2023.

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. This is the third request for the relief sought herein. DBS consents to this relief.\n\n*[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]*\n\n 2 Case 22-50073 Doc 2959 Filed 02/26/24 Entered 02/26/24 18:44:47 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: February 26, 2024 LUC A.
