In light of their cooperation and ongoing discussions, the parties wish to avoid expending resources litigating the Motion to Compel at this time.\n\n11. 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 June 1, 2025. 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 tenth request for the relief sought herein. DBS consents to this relief.\n\n### *[REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.]*\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: March 25, 2025 LUC A.
