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. After the Trustee filed the Motion to Compel, the Trustee and DBS, through their respective counsel, conferred in good faith regarding the Motion to Compel and agreed to adjourn the initial hearing date.\n\n2. On January 23, 2024, the Trustee filed the *Second Consented to Motion to Adjourn Hearing on Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee for Entry of Order Compelling DBS Bank Ltd to Comply with Rule 2004 Subpoena* [ECF No. 2517], which this Court granted on January 24, 2024 [ECF No. 2526], adjourning the hearing on the Motion to Compel to March 5, 2024, at 1 p.m.\n\n3.

Since the Court granted the Prior Motion to Adjourn, the parties have continued to confer in good faith in an effort to resolve their disputes while reserving their respective rights. In light of their cooperation and ongoing discussions, the parties wish to avoid expending resources litigating the Motion to Compel at this time.\n\n7. Accordingly, the Trustee requests that the hearing on the Motion to Compel be adjourned to the first date that is convenient to the Court on or after September 13, 2024. 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 sixth request for the relief sought herein. DBS consents to this relief.\n\n*[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]*\n\n2\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 3361 Filed 07/30/24 Entered 07/30/24 13:35:59 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: July 30, 2024 LUC A.
