Trustee needs documents related to claims against estate.\n\n![](_page_21_Figure_1.jpeg)\n\n![](_page_22_Figure_1.jpeg)\n\nTrustee agrees that no \"waiver\" is occurring by operation of this order; for clarity, however, once Trustee controls privilege, Trustee is entitled to decide whether to waive such privilege.\n\n[Note: This line has not been deleted but rather was moved to a different paragraph on previous page.]\n\n### **UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION**\n\n| ______________________________________x            |   |                            |\n|----------------------------------------------------|---|----------------------------|\n|                                                    | : |                            |\n| In re:                                             | : | CHAPTER 11                 |\n|                                                    | : |                            |\n| HO WAN KWOK,                                       | : | CASE NO. 22-50073<br>(JAM) |\n|                                                    | : |                            |\n| Debtor.<br>______________________________________x | : |                            |\n|                                                    |   |                            |\n\n### **CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE**\n\nThe undersigned hereby certifies that on September 6, 2022 the foregoing proposed Order\n\nwas filed electronically.
