Ho Wan Kwok, et al.\n\n23-CR-118 (AT)\n\nDear Judge Torres:\n\nOn behalf our client Miles Guo (a/k/a “Ho Wan Kwok”), the defense respectfully submits this\nletter motion to request that the Court enter an order compelling Mr. Guo’s former attorney to comply\nwith the Rule 17(c) subpoena authorized by this Court on March 23, 2026 (ECF No. 823), and served\non the recipient the same day. While we have received a small number of responsive documents from\nthe former attorney, we do not consider the limited production to constitute full compliance with the\nsubpoena. Due to the impracticability of setting forth the facts in support of this motion without\ndisclosing the identity of the subpoenaed party, even with redactions, we have submitted a detailed letter\nmotion with exhibits to the Court and to the Government under seal. Should the Court determine that the\ncomplete motion and exhibits should be filed on the docket, we will comply with any such order.\n\nWe note that we have endeavored to avoid any disruption to the April 27, 2026, sentencing date,\nand respectfully request that the Court order full compliance with the subpoena no later than April 10,\n2026, and allow Mr. Guo until April 17, 2026, to supplement his sentencing memorandum based on the\nmaterial received.\n\nRespectfully submitted,\n\nMelinda Sarafa\nJoshua Dratel\nJohn Kaley\n\ncc: All counsel via ECF\nSARAFA ZELLAN","body_zh":null,"key_entities":[],"ecf_references":[],"word_count":274,"status":"published","published_at":"2026-04-02 00:00:00","created_at":"2026-04-02","updated_at":"2026-07-06 20:57:18"}
