Despins, in his capacity as trustee in the above-captioned case filed under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Trustee\"), respectfully moves the Court for permission for Attorney Nicholas A. Bassett (\"Mr. Bassett\"), of Paul Hastings, LLP, to appear remotely on his behalf at the September 6, 2022 hearing scheduled in this case related to the Trustee's Motion for Order Providing that Control of Privileges Passed to Trustee Upon Appointment, and for Related Relief [ECF No. 777] (the \"Privileges Motion\"). In support of the Motion, the Trustee respectfully states as follows:\n\n1. On August 22, 2022, the Trustee filed the Privilege Motions.\n\n2. On August 23, 2022, the Court issued an Order Scheduling Expedited Hearing setting an initial hearing date of August 30, 2022 for the Privileges Motion. At the August 30, 2022 hearing on the Privileges Motion, the hearing was continued to September 6, 2022 (the \"Continued Hearing\").\n\n3. Mr. Bassett, counsel to the Trustee, wishes to attend the September 6, 2022 Continued Hearing but respectfully requests the opportunity to participate via the Court's\n\nZOOM.Gov platform. The Trustee's undersigned local counsel will attend the Continued Hearing in person.\n\n4. The Trustee submits that permitting Mr. Bassett to appear remotely via the ZOOM.Gov platform comports with Bankruptcy Rule 1001 and promotes the just, speedy and inexpensive administration of this case and the Privileges Motion. Mr. Bassett's office is located in Washington, D.C., and the Continued Hearing was recently scheduled. Permitting Mr. Bassett to appear remotely will conserve estate resources by reducing travel time and expense. Further, other counsel for the Trustee will attend the Continued Hearing in person and will be available to address any matters that cannot be addressed by Mr. Bassett remotely.\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Trustee respectfully requests that Mr. Bassett be permitted to appear remotely before this Court on September 6, 2022 at 1:00 p.m.\n\nDated: September 2, 2022 LUC A.

Bassett律师（下称“Bassett先生”）代表其远程出席本案定于2022年9月6日举行的听证会，该听证会涉及受托人提起的《关于作出确认特权控制权在获委任时即移交予受托人及相关救济的命令的动议》[ECF No. 777]（下称《特权动议》）。为支持本动议，受托人谨陈述如下：\n\n1. 2022年8月22日，受托人提交了《特权动议》。\n\n2. 2022年8月23日，法院签发了《关于安排快速听证的命令》，将《特权动议》的首次听证日期定于2022年8月30日。在2022年8月30日就《特权动议》举行的听证会上，该听证会被延期至2022年9月6日（下称“续期听证会”）。\n\n3. 受托人的代理律师Bassett先生希望参加2022年9月6日的续期听证会，并谨请求准许通过法院的ZOOM.Gov平台远程参与。受托人的下述签名当地代理律师将亲自到庭参加续期听证会。\n\n4. 受托人认为，准许Bassett先生通过ZOOM.Gov平台远程出庭符合《破产规则》第1001条，有利于公正、迅速且低成本地管理本案及处理《特权动议》。Bassett先生的办公室位于华盛顿特区，而续期听证会是近期才安排的。准许Bassett先生远程出庭将通过减少差旅时间和费用来节省破产财产资源。此外，受托人的其他代理律师将亲自到庭参加续期听证会，并可负责处理Bassett先生无法远程处理的任何事项。\n\n为此，基于前述理由，受托人谨请求准许Bassett先生于2022年9月6日下午1:00向本法院远程出庭。\n\n日期：2022年9月2日\n康涅狄格州纽黑文\n\nLUC A.
